paint the interior blue, it\u2019s a nice way to add colour without being too obnoxious. <br \/>The legs were in decent enough condition so I opted to leave them wood if they ended up having similar wood tones as the door once the\u00a0old stain was removed. The door was an issue, I removed the handle, but sadly a big chunk of the wood veneer came off with it, because it was screwed on as well as glued with some kind of super glue! At this point I thought for sure there was no way we could salvage the wood door.\u00a0There was a big hole that needed to be filled and obviously it wasn\u2019t going to match the original veneer, so I thought we had to paint it, there was no other option. Andrew thought we could sand it down and put a wide handle over it to try and hide it, but after trying that, we knew it would still be visible, plus it would also look like we were trying to hide it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-43b0b4e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"43b0b4e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a29420\" data-id=\"5a29420\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb15e55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cb15e55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"452\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21061 lazyload\" alt=\"before after cabinet handle\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle.jpg 640w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle-480x339.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21061 lazyload\" alt=\"before after cabinet handle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle.jpg 640w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poppytalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cabinet-handle-480x339.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f972219 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f972219\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5a11d9f\" data-id=\"5a11d9f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42cee20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42cee20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We both really wanted to salvage the wood grain, so I searched around for some ideas\u2026and couldn\u2019t find anything I loved and that would work for this situation. After some experimenting I decided to go with a leather door pull. I grabbed an old leather belt from the local thrift store and some brass screws from Home Depot and figured it out from there. It was fairly simple to make and I think it turned out pretty good!

We kept the legs wood even though they were lighter, it picks up the lighter tones in the grain on the door and it\u2019s a nice contrast to all the white.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b83aee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b83aee\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c4d031\" data-id=\"5c4d031\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4e5f93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4e5f93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nicole Phillips is a Vancouver based Graphic Designer and blogger. <br \/>You can learn more about her at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visualheart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visualheart.com<\/a> or follow her creative side:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/visualheart\">twitter.com\/visualheart<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/visualheart\">pinterest.com\/visualheart<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/visualheart\">instagram.com\/visualheart<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest post by Nicole Phillips of visualheart.com My latest find was a mid-century modern cabinet which originally came from a local art gallery, it was in rough shape with really dry wood veneer and a broken door.
