Up Cycled CD/DVD Cabinet
This was a fun project. My son didn’t want this cd/dvd cabinet anymore, so it ended up in my craft room. I thought about it for a bit, and then came up with the idea of putting my spray paints and chalk paints in it for storage. That would work out super!
This is what it looked like before….a mess!
Pretty rough……but I love a challenge! I started by cleaning it all up, and painting the inside and outside white.
I have seen pretty furniture with stripes on them all over the internet. I have a bookcase in my room I have been wanting to redo with stripes. I haven’t ever painted stripes before so I thought I could practice on this piece. I had three different sizes of Frog Tape, but ended up going with the smallest one .94″ (almost a inch) so I could have more stripes. Never doing this before, and not doing the math, I put the tape on in little pieces at the top, just to see how many stripes I would go with. I started on one side with the tape and ran it all the way down. For the next stripe I put a couple of small pieces next to stripe I had just made. The small pieces made it easy to lay the next stripe straight. I continued with the other stripes the same way.
After I put all the stripes on, I then put on the chalk paint.
I removed the tape, one at a time. You need to work quickly with the painting and remove the tape before the paint dries. I then covered the shelf’s with some contact paper I had on hand.
I love the way it turned out! Not too bad first try with stripes…..Watch out bookcase….your next!
Love that it holds a lot of paint.I still have to add the other door, but need new screws…I know there are a lot of these out there….so if you see one….grab it! You can do so much with this besides cd storage….holds all kinds of stuff.
Thank you so much for looking at my project….
Beautiful make-over! It makes the perfect storage piece

It really turned out perfect for my spray paint cans and chalk paint! See how smart it is not to throw something out that can be repurposed!

Exactly! I use to do a lot of decorative painting on furniture to sell. It’s amazing what a difference paint can make.

If you have been checking out myprojects…you know I just love spray paint! So great on pieces that have been discarded. It is amazing what some people throw out or abandon on the curb.

I love that! It turned out so well!
And using small pieces to keep the tape straight is genius. Definitely making note of that!

I redid one of these years ago, like a decade honestly, and the paper you’ve put on yours adds a nice touch! Wish I would have thought of that. 🙂

You had one too!! Love to see yours! It really adds an extra layer of design…too bad the paint cans cover it though.
