Easily Transform Medicine Cabinets From Bleak To Chic
Easily Transform Medicine Cabinets From Bleak To Chic!
It seems we are all on the lookout for easier ways to transform our old things to new again, right? Well, I’ve found that most of the time, paint is the simplest way to get there.
Whenever I discover a quick and easy fix, I love sharing it with you! Maybe you’ve tried this one already and maybe not, but I’m sure you will love it either way!
We had new medicine cabinets installed about two years ago, and in that short time, the developed some nasty stains that wouldn’t come out no matter what I tried. Rather than install new ones, I knew painting them would be the resolve!
Recently, I got some incredible CHALKED Ultra Matte Paint from Rust-Oleum and wow, the first time I used it, I knew I was in love, and I just had to use it again in my medicine cabinets.
I used the Blush Pink for my Farmhouse Mason Jars and they turned out beautifully, so I knew the paint would work out great for the cabinets too.
Rust-Oleum® Chalked Ultra Matte Paint creates an ultra-matte finish with superior adhesion and coverage. It rejuvenates furniture and home décor with timeless elegance. It can be painted or distressed, giving any project a one of a kind look with a vintage feel.
While this medicine cabinet still looks brand new on the outside, the inside tells a different story.
You can see below, how stained and yucky my medicine cabinets got just from daily use.
Using this Chalked Paint from Rust-Oleum was the easiest and best solution! I love the blush pink color and now, I don’t have to worry about those nasty stains anymore.
I love the blush pink, it adds just enough of the femme factor for me to feel all girlie when I do my skincare routine!
Now, when I got to reach for a beauty product, it feels so good having them housed in a clean and now chic place!
It was so easy to paint and took me all of a few short hours. It dries quickly between coats too. I decided to use two coats for a solid protective base for any future spills and mess.
Since everyone is crushing on blush pink, I knew this color was the perfect addition in my bathroom medicine cabinets.

Did you use a topcoat on the medicine cabinet for protection?
I like how you get your blush pink ‘fix’ in an unexpected way. Simple but effective tip most of us would not think of. Thanks (from an avid follower in Canada)
Thanks so much Pam! I’m so glad you liked the post. I’m thrilled I got to save the expense of replacing it. I truly appreciate your comment and hope you have a wonderful week. It’s always great hearing from folks who enjoy my blog.

Hi Peggy, You can for sure. I thought about doing that but the chalk paint is very durable as I’ve used it before. You don’t have to use a topcoat if you don’t want to. I wanted that matte finish so I decided to go without. I’ll give it a test run for a week and see how it goes. I think it will be fine based on past use. Thanks much for stopping by. I hope you have a great week!

I am so inspired. Like the other commenter, I don’t think I would have thought of this to do. I love the color and what you did to your medicine cabinet. Did you have to take it off the wall to paint or did you leave it on the wall? Plus, I thought it was going to be a spray and it’s not, so love it, love it.
Thanks so much Sue. Nope, I left it on the wall and didn’t even have to remove the glass doors. It’s made all the difference! I’m so happy you love it Sue. I can’t wait to do the other one in my second bathroom! xo

Love the color, Carolann. I simply must try this paint! Love seeing inside your cabinet, too! So many lotions and potions I’d love to try. :-) Beautiful job! Susie
Thank you Susie! I can’t tell you how much I love this paint. I even used the linen white to touch up some of the trim in my home! It covered beautifully. There are endless uses for it. Have a wonderful weekend xo
