I inherited this cabinet a couple years ago. It's been sitting in my parents' garage and I finally got around to painting it this weekend. I love the color that I've chosen, but I'm trying to find something interesting to give some contrast to the inside. I'm painting everything indigo right now, but I feel that once the doors go back up, the top part will be very dark so whatever I put in it won't be nicely displayed.

Painted body
Right now the ideas I have are:
- Cover the vertical surfaces inside the cabinet in fabric, wallpaper, or some other craft paper with an interesting design.
(I found an awesome rabbit toile
wallpaper that I like but don't know if I'd love it long term.)
- Paint the inside some other color (red, light brown, maybe a metallic - gold or copper)
- Put in a vertical paneling of oak veneer and use a driftwood or gray-wash stain
