So this is what i started with...
wait till you see the inside...
So first, i got out the sand paper and gave it a quick sand, and then i got the duster and cloth with some all purpose cleaner, and went to town!
( this pic is after i did all that)
Next, i waited for the all purpose or any wetness to dry, and started on the base coat, here's where all the well-needed patience comes in, unlucky for me, i have none. I did 2 coats of base, with about 30 mins in between, i painted shelves too, because i am painting those as well.
P.S - Make sure you use newspaper or something to keep paint from going everywhere
If your a gifted painter ( unlike me) then this'll be easy peasy, but i took about 2 hours for this part..
first i took a fuschia and mixed it with lots of white, i did 3 coats cuz it's acrylic (i know you should'nt paint with acrylic but what the hey), Then i outlined the frame in a darker colour.
The top of my cupboard was falling off, so i re-attached that in the mean-time with some nails and a hammer. Anyways, once the paint has dried, and your all relaxed, you can start painting the cherry blossoms. Im a first-time painter so they aren't perfect, lol.
I just went along with the pic in my head, but you can go on the net and find some that you like..
And voila, your done!
I use mine to store my sewing machine and kit in.
Hope you like...

That's really adorable. ^^ I love cherry blossoms myself. Plus, I have a little bitty 'cabinet' that I painted a long time ago; looks like I'll be sanding that down and repainting!

this is really nice. you mention your lack of painting skills; however, i see here that you do have a keen eye for color, and as for the design itself: this type of design NEEDS to be simplistic to get the right feel. :-D
