Step 1

Remove old handles and give it a good wipe down. Patch up broken wood and give it a good sand.

Step 2

Sand the cupboard , only light sand on drawers, doors and sides but the top I gave it a good sand. I stick on the decorative moulds and applied 2 layers of 123 Zinsser  undercoat &  2 layers of chalk paint on the sides, doors & drawers.

Hi @Belindaplumley,

Thank you for sharing your upcycling project.

It's come up beautifully. I really like the choice of paint and those decorative moulds add a subtle touch of character that is just wonderful.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Jacob
