Last week I was at Goodwill and saw this cute cabinet. I purchased it but then realized it wouldn't fit in the back of my car... the next day a dear friend went and picked it up for me and delivered it to me at home (thanks Marie!). When my husband got home that evening he said he liked the cabinet and asked me what I planned to do with it. "Paint it!" I had said. He then pointed out that I love this deep red/wine color, it's current color, and also pointed out that often times I am painting things and then distressing them to MAKE them look old... so why wouldn't I leave this fun, beat up, old piece alone. Hmmm I thought -- good point.... but it just wasn't quite distressed enough for my liking. After 15 minutes with the electric sander, I ended up loving the finished product! And it is a fun addition to our dining room. A great place to house seasonal stuff, mail and current paper projects I am working on!

That is SO cute!
Love it! The sander worked wonders. I knew sandpaper could work on cardstock, who knew to use it on wood, hee hee hee. It is much bigger than I expected it to be. Great find!
What a great find!
