| Cabinet Before |
This little gem was a project for a former co-worker. She had wanted to use it for the bathroom in her cottage. She had acquired the cabinet from a friend. After seeing the potential, she decided to have it refinished. It had been worked on previously, but because of the construction, I could see that it was indeed an antique, maybe sixty or seventy years old. The exterior was in need of refinishing, otherwise it had good bones.
She wanted to maintain the look, so after stripping and sanding, I used a pecan stain, which was perfect. It retained the original color, yet with a brand new, updated look. She had ordered new knobs, but they didn't arrive prior to the completion, so I just photographed it with the old knobs, but polished the hinges and other hardware. I love little projects such as this, that serve a big purpose!
