Quilt Cabinet Makeover

With Christmas finally over, I can get back to my regular posts.
Right before Thanksgiving me and my Bestie spent the day junking and this is one of the treasures we picked up.
 I discovered I have a thing for 
vintage quilts and bedding in general
and needed a place to store my loot.  All the old quilts are so pretty, so
something with chicken wire doors was perfect.
So here she is before her makeover.  
I knew the hunter green from the 90’s had to go as well as the broken
glass in the window panes.


I got out my sprayer and gave the whole piece a 
coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in 
Country Grey.
 After that dried, I painted just the outside with
CeCe Caldwell Paint in Blue Montana Sky.
The girls over at Bungalow 47 gave me a sample to try. 
Hit it with a little wax and moved it into the loft.


Hubby was nice enough to add the chicken wire to the
doors for me.
Now I just stand back and look at all the colors in
the beautiful quilts.

I think this piece can be used in several location, and in several
ways in our home.

I think it’s a keeper! 

Just a reminder

 to set your DVR’s

Season 3 of Downton Abbey starts tonight!

And the winner of the Ramsign giveaway is Jennifer

 Congrats Jennifer!

    Your cabinet is wonderful. I love the idea of chicken wire. I live displays of quilts, but have nowhere to put a cabinet like that.

    I am seeing reference to Downton Abbey everywhere. We don’t own a TV so I have never watched it, but I think I need to start watching on Netflix. I read an article this morning in the local paper and I discovered it is created by Julian Fellowes who also wrote Gosford Park which is one of my favorites. And I love anything with Maggie Smith.

    Just beautiful Dawn! The quilts look so pretty in it, I pinned the before and after pic to my board “Before and After”!
    I’m going to try again with Downtown Abbey, tried watching it in season 1 just didn’t grab me but with Shirley McClian in it now I’m going to watch again!

    I have the same “thing” as you! I, however, still have no vintage quilts. I’m on the look-out though! Your cabinet is stunning. You are so good at picking and renovation it could be your business. “Dawn Cain Designs” or something like that…love it.

    I was recently given a 150yr old quilt that was made by my great-great grandmother. I treasure that quilt SOOO much! Right now it is hidden in a cabinet, but my mother gave me a quilt rack she found for $4 at the re-store. I am thinking that I may give it the “Annie Sloan” treatment and use it to PROUDLY display my quilt. Thanks for sharing, your blog is inspiring! -Leanne

    Wow, great transformation. I like that you kept a hint of the hunter green. Love the look of the chicken wire too. I have my dvr set for Downton! I can’t wait. I will watch it tomorrow morning when the kids go to school. I just love that show. I’m hoping it is so worth the wait. Have a great time tonight!

    Dawn, I love the new look. I looked at some vintage quilts yesterday at a stop on our short road trip. They were all just too expensive for quilts that were falling apart so I will keep waiting for another bargain to show up.

    Hello Dawn, I am so excited the winner is me. Thank you so much. Also as luck would have my husband cleared our emails yesterday so if you sent one he cleared what he didn’t recognize. So sorry. If nothing sent I will wait to hear. Thank you so much again it really makes my day. Love your quilts and shelves. You sure did a great job painting. Jennifer

    Hi Dawn,
    I was wondering if you got my email with the picture of an old quilt sign I have had floating around here that I thought you might like to go with your great cabinet. Did not hear back so was not sure if you got it. It needs a new home and I would be glad to ship it to you if you think it is something you can use. If it is too chippy shabby chic I undestand that’s ok too just thought I would offer it to you since you did such a great job on this cabinet.

    I just found your blog thru google while looking for “vintage quilt china cabinets”. I have all of my vintage quilts stored in an old china cabinet right now and I LOVE the look. I have also been thinking about painting it. I would love your opinion in removing the glass. Do you think the older quilts need to breathe? I wonder if keeping them behind glass is bad for them in anyway.

      Jen, I have no idea about that, I removed the glass because it was broken but now the dust can get through.
