Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @nirvs. It's fabulous to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your amazing project.

I love the chalk paint, creative use of rattan sheets, and new hardware as it has transformed the old cabinet into a beautiful, updated piece. The attention to detail and the choice of materials gave it a fresh look and assured many years of stylish functionality.

Excellent job!
