Gun cabinet redesign

We recently inherited an old gun cabinet that belonged to my hubby's grandparents. My MIL was going to dispose of it, and never one to turn a free piece of furniture down (or a project for that matter), I offered to take it off her hands.

Here is a one similar to mine before I saved it from certain doom on its way to the junkyard:



And here she is converted to my version of a hall tree:


I painted it a flat black paint and distressed it with my handy-dandy palm sander. Then, I went to Hobby Lobby and picked out some new hardware @ 50% off and added the glass knobs and hooks to side of cabinet. I had some scrap burlap lying around from our wedding, so I simply stapled it to inside of the cabinet. A few accessories and WHALAH!, instant hall tree! Best of all, my MIL did not even recognize it when she visited! Eventually, I would like to add a market bag to the hooks, but I love how it fits the space perfectly.

I submitted this to Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Feature Friday link Party and Kimba's DIY Day. Thanks for looking!
