Ugly cabinet re-do!

When we first bought the house, I would go on crazy thrift store shopping sprees trying to find decent pieces of furniture that had some potential. One day I found this ugly little cabinet and decided it had to be mine! For $10-15 (I don’t remember what the heck I paid for it) it has proven to be a good addition to our living room reading nook. Not sure if that will be it’s permanent home, but for now, it works! We keep board games, DVD’s, and photo albums in it but I think it would also work in the master bath for towels and such…..
Hello, you poor, unfortunate looking thing!

 These knobs were a good find at world market. I heart world market and their $2.99 knob sale!

    I love this! I never even thought to look at World Market for knobs! Somewhere else that has really cute knobs is Anthropologie.com under At Home>Hardware, they're a little expensive but if you only need a few it's worth it because they're so cute!
