I really like the new look. The emphasis on the detailing really helps it. Before you couldn’t even see that ridge detail. Now I’m inspired to try something with an old radio cabinet I have from my parents.

Yes, I would put the gold detail on the bottom. I would also hinge the top to make the storage more effective. Looks great!!! I love it.

I got it on clearance at Lowes a couple of years ago. I got a good deal, so I bought several sheets of it.

In reply to Kathy Groah.

Kathy,

I blog reality. Many times I’m not happy with a piece in one way or another. I think a lot of it is because I’m usually not transforming it for my own purpose. When I work on stuff for the masses, I need to try to make it “workable” for many homes, and that holds me back sometimes, not knowing exactly how it will fit with a new family. If I were doing custom design, I think it would be a lot easier.

Ohh, I’m not a professional, I just play one on the internet. 🙂 So, for sure, don’t beat yourself up. Those of us who do a lot of this stuff still struggle daily “getting it right”.

I really like the updates to this radio cabinet turned multi purpose bar. What I like even better is the fact that you posted the first time that you weren’t thrilled with this project initially. I recently felt the same about a project that went awry from my vision of it. SO nice to know that even professionals don’t always feel they’ve hit one out of the park. Thanks for your honesty and making me feel a little less inadequate!

Oh my goodness, Gail! I LOVE this project! I am very, very into gold accents right now and this hits all the right notes! Pinning!
