Lighten up...

I have had this black cabinet (attic heirlooms by Broyhill) for ages now.  It was totally black, including the back of the cabinet and I had been wanting to paint the back of it for a while.

Travis went back to work today, so I woke up grabbed my brush and some chalk paint and just did it.

two coats and no wax...

I'm liking this look much better!

    I like the look of the lightened black too. Also, the inside paint really allows you to see what inside better! GREAT JOB! Don't you just LOVE chalk paint! :)

    This looks fantastic! The old white really makes everything inside "pop" and stand out more. Great job!
