MCM record cabinet makeover

Church rummage sales are the best!  Not only do they offer a variety of items at very low prices, I always meet some very kind and interesting people.  At this particular sale, I scored this vintage record cabinet, and found a few nice gentlemen to help me load my treasures.
It was five dollars!   I decided to repurpose it as a beverage station as not too many people have use for a record cabinet anymore.   I decided to paint it with my homemade turquoise chalk paint and leave the original hardware as it was.


Painted black, the top features a graphic found on 'the graphics fairy' and enlarged using blockposters.com.  To give it a chalkboard look, I used a pastel pencil and then sprayed it several times with Polycrylic.
My assistant approves!!!
