Refinished / repurposed furniture project

Today, Greg and I just completed refinishing this pine corner cupboard. 

It sits next to our tv and will hold dvd's, etc.  I'm tired of messy, open shelves.

The cabinet was a purchased at a local Amish used furniture store.

The owner goes to auctions and buy furniture, etc. to resell.

I tried to get an aged look. 

After a light sanding (Greg's part), I painted the cabinet antique white.

Then I added black paint to a glaze base,

brushed it on and wiped it off until I got the affect I wanted.

....we really like the finished project!

We spray painted the brass colored hardware in hammered dark gray.

Greg also did all the tearing apart and reassembling.

I forgot to take a before picture, this is the side of the drawer,

the only part of the cabinet I didn't paint. 

So you can get an idea of the original cabinet color.

I do like this look but I wouldn't want all my furniture like this. 

Besides it's a lot of work, now back to sewing projects :)

So what you do think?

Thanks for stopping by....
