We had two rusty and worn wall storage cabinets on our sun porch and two pets who have a ton of stuff all over the house and porch. So these are being re-purposed for them.
Firstly I had to clean them up and prime the metal areas. Using pallet wood planks I measured and cut to size to make shelves to fit the cabinet. I painted the cabinets and shelves white.
Once dry I sprayed black chalkboard paint onto the doors. I had to spray 4 coats on each door to get thorough coverage. I mounted the cabinets onto the wall and attached shelving uprights and brackets to each and placed the shelves on them. I choose to use adjustable shelving to allow flexibility on the pet items I need to store.
Now the doors can be used to write on.
