Barrett and I bought this china cabinet at a yard sale for $50 before we got married. We planned to paint it black and started sanding in the summer, but it took a long process before we completed it. We forgot to take a picture of how it looked originally, but this is it sanded down.
Then we distressed the cabinet. It was fun to hit it and carve holes! This is Barrett working.
We then searched all over for the right paint and it took two coats to get it this black.
Barrett surprised me while I was gone one Saturday! When I got home he had sanded parts of the cabinet to give it an antique look. He also bought some nice hardware to replace the old rusted gold ones.
You can see the sanding and hardware better in this picture. It looks great in our small apartment! Now the next project is for me to fill it with our dishes...
