I looked through my options of paint and immediately thought that it would look best cream. Of course I am never content with leaving anything just cream, it was in dire need of some pizazz. Here is what this treasure looked like before.
After much scrubbing and a few patches I decided to go with cream for the outside. I finished it off with a mint green for the inside and around the edges to give it an antique look. Then to really polish off the look I decided to add some little wood moldings on the doors. I kept the original hardware but I painted and antiqued it to match the rest of the piece. Below is the final treasure.
