Furniture Rehab. Sideboard.

This is a project peice that my husband and I worked on in 2012.

It is a large sideboard so it took a lot of work and time to get it 

just how we wanted it to look;

Shabby, used and loved.

First on the list was to take the drawers out and doors off,

and give the whole peice a good sanding down to remove the varnish.

We decided to change the drawer knob situation, 

although the knobs were small, 

we felt it unessesery to have two knobs on each drawer. 

Above is a photo where you see two of the drawers 

with their knobs off, 

we have filled and sanded the old holes,

 drilled new ones and given it the first coat of primer.

Above: the doors in process.

over the 2 coats of white primer.

 Above; the finished peice. After a couple more coats of paint,

sanding, and distressed with Pine coloured Fiddies furniture wax.
We took out the wooden X shapes in the side shelfs 
used for holding and stacking wine, 
as we wanted to use the space for books instead.

we chose to have two different types of knobs to give the peice

 a bit more of a subtle quirky look.

I love them they are so cute!
