Garage Sale Beadboard Cabinet Door Junk Garden Makeover
June 23, 2021
Do you remember this grubby $1 tongue and groove bead board cabinet door from my recent garage sales HERE?
I just finished a project with it today.

I first gave it a good scrubbing with hot Dawn Dish Soapy and a scrub brush.
Most of the mildew and dirt came off and left a vintage paint finish.
This metal garage tray was also a $1 find at a garage sale.
I sprayed it with Krud Kutter Cleaner Degreaser and let it sit a bit. Then washed it with my Dawn Dish Soap water.
Here's the tray with the grease gone.
Next holes were drilled into the bottom of the tray for drainage.
Then the tray was screwed into the cabinet door with two screws.
The door needed a little more interest. I thought about hanging a sign on it.
I opted to add some scrolly stenciling with a the Dalia Crest Stencil from Redesign with Prima.
I pounced it on with Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash. Since the door was tongue and groove beadboard, the stenciling was not perfect.
I left room for plants and pots between the stencil and tray shelf.
I decided to add more scrolly stenciling below the tray.
This stencil is Damask from Decoart.
I added two damask stencils below the tray.
I placed two buckets with a red impatiens in one and an English Ivy in the other.
I placed a brick under the door to keep it off the ground and leaned it up against the house wall. This will keep it from rotting for a good long while.
I love planting ideas that add vertical interest and get those plants off the ground level!
Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for sharing. I love your ‘eye’ and what you can envision with what most of us would walk by. I try to check what you post every day to be inspired.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin! I think the more upcycling and repurposing you do the more you develop that eye!
