Leslie says,”When I saw this dull brown cabinet in the thrift store, it begged for glam.” Well, glam it up she did.

Good eye, Leslie! Those mirrored panels really show off those door details.

From Leslie:

After primer and paint, I used a couple of packages of mirrored tiles from the big box hardware store. The top was a fake slate formica that totally dated the piece. I used a mitre saw, moldings and pewter appliance pulls to fabricate a new top that resembles a gallery tray. I love how fresh and new it is now. Bottoms up!

Thank you Leslie!
