Knowing I had dreamed of owning a red cottage-style cupboard for years, he decided to turn his new find into a surprise. He simply built a hutch back, shelves, and sides onto the existing old chest of drawers, painted it barn red, and added simple wooden hardware. It has been the highlight of my living room for years and looks very similar to Pearl's beautiful cupboard. The red paint tied the cupboard and my husband's creativity together, making it look like one solid piece. When I filled it with old books and china, it looked like an antique store find! By the way, he found another larger, longer chest of drawers shortly after and recreated the same type of cupboard... but this time, he made the shelves reach almost to the ceiling...It became my treasured dining room china cabinet which houses my English china collection. Ladies, put your husbands to work looking for roadside treasures! Mary Years ago my husband found an old chest of drawers.

The brand of paint that we used is: Olde Century Colors Color: 2001 Cranberry This company has some wonderful colors! The paint is nice & thick - so it covers VERY well. I also love their shade of mustard (for all of you prim decorators out there :) Enjoy! Wanted to post this info for everyone who sent in the request…

Your hubby did a great job in painting it red - it makes me smile. I can’t believe you bought a cupboard like that for $2.00 - what a find.
