I transformed a £7 cabinet into a £2K Anthropologie dupe and all it took was a Sharpie

A WOMAN has shown how she transformed a grubby cabinet into a stunning Anthropolgie dupe.

Sharing her furniture flip on her TikTok account, Flip Daddie, Christina showed how she made the dupe with a lick of paint and a Sharpie paint pen.


Going down to her local Goodwill store, she joked: "The people here are vultures, and so am I."

She picked up a drab brown cabinet for £7 ($10) and brought it home to DIY and sell on Facebook Marketplace.

Christina decided to turn the boring cabinet into the Anthropologie cabinet called the Boro Star Sideboard which retails for £1,911 ($2,948).

She knew from the get-go that it would be one of the toughest flips she had undertaken, but wanted to challenge herself.

She shared the process of turning the cabinet into the Anthropologie dupe and started by filling any holes with PEANUT BUTTER, she recommended the brand Skippy.

Christina then sanded down the piece and primed it, she then painted the body of the cabinet black.

Next, Christina got to work on the cupboard doors and painted them a deep blue colour to match the Anthropologie cabinet.

Using a ruler and a pen, she then began to trace out the star design on the cupboard doors and traced over it with a white paint pen from Sharpie.

It took Christina a while to paint the pattern onto the cupboard doors, and after that was done she added new handles which were a modern square shape in matte black.

She screwed the doors back in and added legs to the cabinet to elevate it and give it a more modern look.

Finally, she sealed the cupboard using varathane polyurethane to give it a more polished look.

Even Christina was impressed by her work saying: "Honestly, I'm shocked with how good it turned out."

And users were just as blown away by Christina's impressive DIY skills.

One wrote: "How are these so good, my ego thinks it can do this but my brain tells me I'll fail miserably."
