hahah Sorry about leaving you hanging Jennie. This project (and post) were not finished, but I set it to publish weeks ago and forgot it was in the queue to be published. Since I am injured, I have to take some time off working for a few weeks. I have updated the post with more pictures, but the cabinet still waits to be finished. I just got some hinges for it this week, but with a brace on my wrist to keep it immobile, it’s impossible to finish it at this time. Stay tuned for more details, but for now–visit the post to see it’s current (painted) progress. 🙂

In reply to Peggy Wilson.

Peggy,

This project (post) slipped through the cracks and was published before it was finished. I have updated the post with more recent pictures, but the cabinet isn’t totally finished as I am off for an injury. You should be able to pin it now. Thank you for wanting to save it. Stay tuned for more pictures and details when I can get back to work.

Gail I love the cabinet and wanted to pin it for later inspiration. Pinterest won’t let me without a picture and your pin doesn’t have one. Can you please help me by sending a picture I can use? I have an old radio cabinet to repurpose. Thank you.

So what happens next? Since you’ve sanded it smooth. The green and gold faux finish, though well done, made it look very dated.

If it were mine a dark stained top and dove gray body would be very pretty. Maybe adding just a touch of the glaze. Not much, just a touch and I’m not really sure of the glaze at all. (Did you hear the plain wood people gasp) I like the hardware, but they’re brass, or painted gold, (now here is where I’m totally not myself. Paint them something to compliment. I’m growing up in my old age.)
