{Heirloom Piece}

This one kicked my trash!

I had to HAND SAND the entire thing, its a really old antique and a family heirloom, so I was a little nervous to say the least about painting and sanding it. Once I got going it wasn't to bad because I couldn't wait to see it finished, and she did not disappoint, I love her and miss her... I hope she enjoys her new home., my garage will miss her!

Here she is BEFORE...

I did the drawer and then realized I needed a before picture...whoops!

and AFTER!

We opted not to do the inside and just paint out the shelves. There are lots of hooks for cups inside and I would have had to remove them... not a good idea. And the glass had some awesome inlaid wood design, so I just left it the way it was, praying that the glass wouldn't break. The hardware is all original and we estimated the piece to date back to the 1920's... beautiful.
