Yesterday I talked about how I chose my Glidden paint colors for a fun new DIY painted furniture project using the My Colortopia and Color 101 website, and today is the big reveal! Remember this 1980’s chest o’ drawers? Well speaking of drawers, hold onto yours (name that movie)…
Eeeeeee!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! Our basement is loving it too. This big blank beige wall just got soooo much cooler. I cannot believe what a difference a little paint and some reclaimed wood made for this piece of furniture!
The white stripe down the middle came out exactly as I envisioned it in my head, and that reclaimed wood combined with that perfect French Grey-blue paint color??? I swoon. It is just gorgeous! This was THE perfect paint color for the space.
Yesterday I told you that we used the bottoms of the old Coke crates from Garrett’s nightstand project to be the bookshelf backer. What I didn’t show you was this awesomeness right here:
Since we don’t have a wine cellar, what better place to store some adult beverages than inside one of the leftover Coca-cola crates? I simply stood it on it’s side and braced it up against the lip of the upper shelf. It’s super sturdy, and holds six bottles of wine perfectly.
Add an ice bucket, a few glasses and a bottle opener, and we’ve got ourselves a party. Who wants to come over?
Anyone else remember these vintage mini- jukeboxes? I wish I knew the date of this one and the backstory behind it. What year could you get 7 plays for half dollar or 1 play for a dime or 2 nickels?
So, there you go. The big reveal of my new favorite project! It took me all weekend, but it’s done! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go fix myself a drink and drop some nickels in this jukebox. I totally need to hear Sammi Smith belting out “Help Me Make it Through the Night” right about now.
Before I go, I gotta say that I love this paint! It was so easy to work with and gave excellent coverage on my piece. I will totally be using this stuff again for future projects! Thanks, Glidden and MyColortopia, for all your help choosing it!

Do I love it? Uh huh. Did I pin it? You betcha.

Beth,
It looks fabulous! I love the addition of the distressed wood! I am so inspired! :))

Thanks Terri! Glad to inspire you today!
Virginia Fynes says
You rocked this project! Awesome makeover, I’ll be right over for a drink!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Thanks so much Virginia! Come on over! 🙂
LeAllyson Meyer says
I think this is just beautiful. So inspiring. I have the same chest and shelves in the same wood but it dates back to the 1960s. I am still using it in my jewelry studio. It could benefit from some TLC like this one did. Excellent idea!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
So glad I could inspire you today, LeAllyson!
Debbie says
Love it! I see why the basement love it 🙂

Goodness gracious, what a makeover! It’s so clever and beautiful too. Glidden paint rocks– I’m digging that color. I’m in the middle of several room makeovers and I’m thinking that color would look amazing on my bookcase. Pinned that gorgeousness!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Thanks so much Carrie!! It’s a great color!
Karen @ Dogs Don't Eat Pizza says
I’m coming right over! That’s beautiful! Where did you get the sign on top of the hutch? I love it!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
My husband found it at some junk dealer’s shop I’m sure. I found it laying inside my bathtub in my basement. My husband is like a squirrel- he buys things on Craigslist and I find them hidden all over the house. LOL!
Maureen Waldrop says
Oh my gosh!! I love it, well done! It looks awesome.
Karah @ thespacebetweenblog says
Wow! It really is amazing what paint will do … and reclaimed wood of course! What an awesome upgrade, if I had a basement I know it would be jealous!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Thanks friend! Means a lot coming from the Queen of reclaimed wood!! 🙂
Mindy says
Bahahaha, we were totally on the same wine wavelength. Annnnd, I need that sign in my life. Stat.
Kelly @ Eclectically Vintage says
Did someone say wine?! What time should I be there? Love this so much – the coke crate boards and the color are gorgeous! Cheers
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Come on over anytime, Kel. I’ll save you a seat at the Pac-Man machine.
Marty@A Stroll Thru Life says
How fabulous is this. I love how it turned out and the juke box is wonderful.
Erin @ How to Nest for Less says
Looks amazing Beth!! love the color choice and the white stripe. Fabulous storage solution too!
Gourmet Getaways says
Hey, where’d you get all those cool vintage stuff?! I think that the wooden case is just clever. Love the look, too. Can I swoon with you, Beth? 🙂

😀 Thanks for your sweet comments! My husband finds all sorts of vintage stuff at local junk honey holes and Craigslist. Who knows where it all comes from!!
keri @ shaken together says
Beth, this is nothing short of amazing! I love all the touches, the styling and that reclaimed wood – swooning right along with you!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Thanks Keri!!
Wendy Gordon says
I love this!! My daughter has the exact same piece in her room and I’ve been wanting to redo it. So inspired!! What type of prep work did you do to the piece or did you just repaint it?
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
Here is all the prep post! https://bethbryan.com/2014/11/paint-stripes-furniture-part-one/
Carol says
LOVE IT!!! BTW, I pinned it before I knew it was yours!!
I see these “lovely” pieces all over the place and I usually walk right by. Next time I’ll think twice.
GREAT JOB, Beth!!! (missed you in Atlanta)
Robyn McFadden says
Where did you get the vintage photo of the Alabama marquise? I grew up in Houston and it sure looks like the old Alabama Tyeater near River Oaks! Is it? Love the dry bar as well!
Beth at Unskinny Boppy says
I took the photo in Downtown Birmingham at the Alabama theatre. I gave them away as a free hi-res download on my blog if you’d like to print. https://bethbryan.com/2012/11/a-little-gift-of-high-resolution-pics/
Robyn McFadden says
Awesome! Thanks!
Mark says
I know it’s two years since your comment, but I love the picture you have up. I have searched for a photo like this but unable to find one. Do happen to know where you got it?
