It's that time of year again to create auction projects. This year, I decided to make the projects because a.) I had the cabinet doors I needed-they were free, b.) I had the handles in my stash-they were free, c.) I have the mosaic china pieces on hand-free and d.) I already have the tile adhesive and grout. The only materials I don't have are the glass pieces to place over the mosaics. That will be a minimal cost. And to tell you the truth, it goes to great causes.
So, let's start with the cabinet doors. These two were from the group of doors I received from my fireplace tiler. They are in great condition.
The cabinet handles were originally from Hobby Lobby and were $7.99 a piece which I bought for
$1.40 on clearance. I was thinking that they had an Oriental feel to their design, so I could use my blue and white Oriental mosaic chips. Not sure if I will stay with that idea.
I asked Mr. Thrifty if he would drill the handle holes into the doors. That honestly, is the hardest part. Thanks to the Mr.!
Here is a close up of the handles.
I removed all the handles and set up a spray painting box. Using my favorite Ultra II primer, I gave them a good once over coat.
One of my cabinet doors had a raised flaw, so I sanded it down, filled it with spackle and will let it dry overnight before I paint it.
