Best of the BEST redo

I'm so excited to have my latest furniture redo complete.

This is by far the best...

and I'm learning that the more "practice" I get

the better things LOOK!

I found this piece at 

GOODWILL

on my very first trip!

I loved the hardware detail on the doors as well as the slats!

I thought it would make for an interesting piece once all the stain got into all the knooks and crannies!

I could have waited and bought this for $12 as they have there once a month 50% off 2 days after I purchased this...

but I was so afraid it wouldn't be there that I snatched it up as quickly as possible!

I have to say I was GIDDY with excitement as this turned out to be and ETHAN ALLEN original

and the wood was sturdy and intact!

I forgot to take a BEFORE picture

until I had sanded off the top layer...

but you get the general idea!

I'm so excited to share the AFTER!!!!

 
Here is a closer up look at the detail...
I absolutely am thrilled with how beautiful this turned out.

I changed out the hardware except for the beautiful hinges on the doors and found the knobs on sale at Hobby Lobby for only $2 a piece!  

I bought the paint for $12 at Home Depot...

and already had the stain, wax and other supplies I needed from other projects

so this Ethan Allen original cost me only $48!!!

How great is that! 

Side note:  My wonderful hubby has made me two shelves to go with this so that I can create a front entry vignette.  However, one of the kids stepped on one of the shelves and he has to start over building a new shelf.  I'm hoping to have this done before my parents come into town in a few weeks for Jacob's baptism.  I can't wait to show you the entire finished project!
