I’ve painted quite a bit of furniture here on Create & Babble but there are two things I have never done. I have never painted a mid century modern piece of furniture. And I have never done a two-tone makeover.

This month I got to do both.

Luck had a lot to do with it. I was lucky enough to find this Mid Century Modern Record Cabinet and even luckier that it was on sale!

Pure & Original is the month’s sponsor of the Fab Furniture Flippin’ Contest. More luck!

I received free paint from Pure & Original in exchange for writing a review on the blog. This post contains an affiliate link, which means that if you click on the product link, I’ll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Although this post is sponsored, all opinions 100% are my own.

Until I found out that Pure & Original was going to sponsor April’s Fab Furniture Flippin’ Contest, I must admit I hadn’t heard of them. I have learned that this paint is made from all natural ingredients and the finish is very smooth. Since it is a chalky type of paint, no sanding is required and it will stick to just about any surface – including the veneer finish of my record cabinet. Also, this paint is heavily pigmented, resulting in stunning, rich finishes. Regarding finishes, Pure & Original’s Classico paint dries quickly and does not need a sealant, even for outdoor use. I can’t get over how smooth this paint feels. It feels like there’s a highly buffed wax finish on it and there isn’t! I am super impressed with this paint! I love it!

I chose to paint the outside of the cabinet in White. Since the original finish on the cabinet was fairly dark, I brushed on three coats of the Pure & Original paint to get good coverage.

Greek Sky is the name of the color that I chose for the inside of the cabinet. It’s not quite as bright as what the image above shows. It’s more of a slate blue.

The brass tips on the legs were tarnished and scratched. A quick coat of metallic gold spray paint brought them back to life.

And here it is, all done! I love it. What do you think? Dan really liked it too and is anxious to fill it with his record album collection!

    Love this! The colors really brightened it up and gave it new life. This was truly a tired, boring piece before but not any more!

    Awesome makeover Jeanie! Jamie has several of these cabinets, but of course she would never paint hers.

    Yours looks lovely. I love two-toned projects like this.

    pinned!
