ReVamping a Cherry Cabinet Insert

Thanks so much to our wonderful and dear friend Mark.  He is always on the lookout for great curbside finds that can be turned around into something amazing.
Recently, Mark brought me a solid cherry cabinet insert that was lying by the side of the road and destined for the trash.  It was in excellent condition and had zero water damage.

I knew instantly that this wooden insert was destined for one of my fabulous makeovers.  Shabby Chic came to mind because of the gorgeous corners and edging.

I sanded down the insert and painted 2 coats of black, then 4 coats of light antique white before handpainting the lettering.  I let everything dry overnight before sanding down the edges to create a distressed look.
For the final touch, I sprayed a coat of satin varnish to seal the paint.
I was so pleased with the way this turned out once it was finished.
I have turned a great piece of wood into a fantastic Vintage Sign for our main bathroom...
