Well, this summer I have given myself a project to do - actually two! My neighbours put out this piece of furniture a few weeks ago and I snatched it up as I could totally see the potential in it, plus I needed the storage for my office things. Much to Mike's dismay, I got him to help me carry it from the road and into our garage. This past weekend I got started on it. I am going to give it a light sand and then paint it a creamy color and then put a varnish on it. This will give it an older, little bit more rustic look. From the picture you can see I have already sanded the top half of the cabinet, so hopefully this weekend I can finish the sanding part altogether. I'll post another picture once I've completed it. (Hopefully Mike will then allow it back in the house!!) My other summer project is to finish my dining room table. I have decided to sand the whole table down and then paint the legs and stain the top, after I have distressed it a bit. Distressing is a wonderful tool when you have young children, it hides all those imperfections and makes those scratches and dings part of the look. Keep checking back to see the finished cupboard!
