Pigeon Holes

Here is my latest edition to Ethos Upcycling. I purchased an old oak video cabinet.

This item was heavy and cumbersome, and had issues with one of the 'doors' not shutting properly.

I had a look over the piece and decided that with the issues it had drastic action needed to be taken . . .

Once the video cabinet was opened up its full potential became obvious.

Everybody needs good storage, however the weight of the item as a whole was not very practical so I decided to break it down into sections to create Pigeon Holes.

Time to crack open the paint.

The smaller section was painted in Annie Sloan Old White and given the usual coating of soft wax.

For the larger section I thought I would mix it up a bit. By combining Old White and Chateau Grey paint by Annie Sloan a lovely cooling sage green colour can be obtained.

These photographs show the finished products with the Pigeon Holes being put into use.

These two items will make a lovely addition to any home and I will be sorry to see them go.

The smaller pigeon holes can be used as shown or on its side as more of a low unit, either way what a fabulous way to showcase your prized possessions.

Now available for sale via Ethos Upcycling Online Shop
