Goodwill Treasure Hunter & Guest Blogger Lisa McDowell has done it again! Lisa has been so kind to share her Goodwill discoveries and transformations.
(See her coffee cup centerpiece guest blog) This time she has refinished an old cabinet she purchased for $5 from Goodwill into a vibrant Super Hero Cabinet.

Lisa McDowell:
This is a cabinet I purchased at the
Stevensville, MI Goodwill Boutique.
It truly was $5!! Of course, it was like Brady Bunch simulated
brown wood. ;). Wish I had the
"before" pic...
I primed it in white, added a few coats of blue and black
acrylic with sponge brushes (check your craft section at Goodwill!) and let it dry
thoroughly between coats.
Obviously, I repurposed some plastic lids to avoid
painting the cabinet shut!
After plowing through many comic choices, I selected a
Captain America comic book, cut apart individual cells, and arranged them
temporarily for the look I wanted.
Using a furniture grade ModPodge product, I coated the
individual cells, let them dry, then arranged them again and fastened them down
with the ModPodge.
I hit the little handle with some black spray paint.
Allowing the product to dry, I gave the piece several
protective coats re-attached the handle, and....TaDa!!!
