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.

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.

Coffee/beverage station
Repurposed entertainment stand
You know how you see those tv stands that everyone used to have, at yard sales, thrift stores, and even put out on trash day? I was given one by a friend and right away knew how I could repurpose it and give it a new life!
After a light sanding, I gave it a coat of my homemade chalk paint. Then, I added a graphic from The Graphics Fairy, which I had enlarged and then traced using regular carbon paper.
I simply stenciled the word "coffee" on burlap, and made a small hem at the top for the tension rod that holds the curtain in place.
I love how the vintage baking pans fit in the shelf to hold all the essentials for that perfect cup of your favorite beverage!
