Bayleaf Green Display Cabinet

I've had this gorgeous cabinet for many years now.  I thrifted it from a lovely old lady, together with our white sideboard. 

It has had a few makeovers it it's time, but has predominately remained white. 

That is until I saw this gorgeous cabinet at Provincial Home Living at Christmas time, in a colour called Bayleaf. 

And that was my inspiration for its latest restyle. 

I couldn't find the exact paint colour I was after so I got a sample pot of a similar green and mixed my own bayleaf green inspired shade. 

I gave it 2 coats of paint, and then sealed it all with a clear varnish. I used this varnish for the first time and I was really impressed with how smooth it turned out. And it was a lot cheaper then the hardware brands. 

 

 

 

 I decided to keep the inside of the cabinet white. 

 

I also replaced the door knobs with black ones. 

I really like that this looks more like a feature piece in the living room now.
