If It's Ugly...

...paint it with chalkboard paint!

This utility cabinet was an eyesoar.

 But, it had great storage...

And the ugliness of it is nothing that a 
little chalkboard paint can't fix...

I left the handles in their original state.
I like the contrast of the black and white.

 Much better!



This was one of those pieces that I really couldn't decide
 whether to keep or sell.
It would be perfect in my garage as a place to store paint.
I was conflicted!
So, I took it to my space at Earth Mama's General Store 
and decided that I would give it 30 days to sell.
 If it didn't sell in 30 days, it was meant to be mine.
Just when I decided that maybe I would give it 15 days
 instead of 30...
you guessed it...
it sold!
After all, who doesn't need more storage?
