Red...it was screaming to be RED

Before was ok, a great thrift find cabinet as it was....but it just needed to be red. I took about 20 bottles of old red craft acrylic paints, all shades, mixed them together to get this shade of red.

It WAS screaming to be red! It looks great! It takes me a long time to do brave things like this... but the rewards are always worth it!

What a great cabinet! I love that you used all your leftover craft paints! I have 5 quarts of different shades of khaki that I want to mix up. Hope mine turns out as well as yours!

You were right. Don't you love it when furniture speaks clearly to you and tells you exactly how it needs to be?

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment.

I love the red cupboard. Red's one of my favourite colours. I used to decorate primitive style but even though I don't anymore, I still appreciate and like the look. I love your colourful shaker boxes stacked up the side too.
