Hi everyone! I'm honored to be guest posting today for Gail over here at My Repurposed life! I've been a huge fan of her blog, so it's got me doing a little happy dance! ANYwayssss.... Lately, I've been ITCHING to do some spray painting!
I got smart this time: $6.00 spray paint handle from LOWES=totalllly worth every penny. The spray paint I used was from Lowes, It was just a simple Satin Finish... "Valspar Interior white spray paint"(Hindsight, I probably would have chosen a semi-gloss finish. This piece collects dust, and the satin just isn't cutting it.)
I love a great repurpose! This was a fabulous project, very pretty AND practical! Didn’t Brittany do a great tute? I know you’ll find lots more great stuff when you explore her blog! Go!

We had a vintage record player I wanted to do the same thing with. It had beautiful scrolled lattice work on the front, adorable spooled legs....but, sigh, too many moves and nobody to help me with the woodworking part, so it only got the demolition step. LOVED seeing your finished product! You always make everything look so easy, it gives me more confidence to conquer and create things.

Van- GREAT idea! I wish I would have thought about that while doing this project!

Looks great! We have a few of these in the works as well.
For those of you that decide to tackle a similar project, I encourage you to find a local audiophile to donate/sell your cabinet's guts. We gave our turntable parts to a fellow in LA that restores old record players.

Wow! I actually have one of these in my house right now... I've gutted it, but haven't gotten any farther. Thanks for sharing, I needed some inspiration for my project. Your cabinet turned out great!
