Dollhouse furniture makeovers!

I just felt the need to paint something blue and white.
This furniture came with the big dollhouse when I bought it. 

Here's the only 'before' pic I can find.

I'm loving how it turned out!

This was a new little cupboard with a mirror but I changed it to mesh because like to see what's inside dollhouse cupboards.
Liberty has her eye on all this furniture...there's a special project she's asked me for...but more about that when I get it started...
