a craigslist find.

 My friend, Caroline, found this lovely cabinet on Craigslist and asked me to help give some ideas on how to make it over!  I think this piece has a lot of potential!!  Caroline already had a lot of great ideas:  paint it black or grey, paint the backdrop, or put a cute wallpaper on the backdrop.  I think these are all wonderful options.  So, here are a couple inspiration photos. 

First up is the simple stuff.  Paint it a solid black or grey...
Or you could paint it a solid color and paint the backdrop a contrasting color...
  
Or you could get a little more exciting and put a graphic print on the backdrop...

Or if you're feeling really adventurous paint it a bold color AND use a bold pattern on the backdrop...

 Lots of options for this lovely piece!  I think you can't go wrong with any of them.  I think I would personally paint the piece a nice neutral gray and do a fun wallpaper on the backdrop.  Like this...

Or even this...

Hope these ideas help Caroline!!!  Happy Thursday :)
