THE DECORATIVE SIDE PANELS WILL BE USED TO MAKE HAT RACKS AND THE BIG DRAWER WILL HAVE SOME QUIRKY LEGS PUT ON, TO BE MADE INTO A BLANKET BOX" - DONNA hea UPCYCLING MAKEOVER Donna, Qld The before and after pics speak for themselves here! Few people would have been game for the challenge of restoring this piece, but Donna saw its inherent charm and i potential. “| couldn't believe it when | saw this old girl on Facebook Marketplace,” says Donna. “It was a young couple who were pulling down an old shed to renovate and this cupboard had been in the shed for about 50 years. | couldn't get it in the trailer fast enough!" Tackling the layers of oil-based paint with stripper was a project and a half, and some of the mysterious stains weren't going anywhere, but Donna says, “I do love some of the old to stay with the piece.” The shelf has been finished with coconut oil, then sealed, with shoes stored in baskets underneath. Donna painted everything else white (Dulux Lexicon Half) and added quirky hooks, turning this old wardrobe into a practical but pretty mini mudroom. | Before “This piece represents upcycling at its finest. The revived cabinet is beautiful, useful and would be quite handy in my house!” Katrina O'Brien, Bunnings magazine bunnings.com.au | () bunnings |(®) bunnings 29
