A Little Restoration Project

Warning to grandparents: 

This post is not about the kids AT ALL!

I have always wanted to restore a piece of furniture and it's my dream to have a house filled with these kinds of things without having to pay for the work someone else has done to make a piece look good. Time is not readily available to me these days, so I never wanted to make the effort... until now!

I found this dirty thing at a garage sale ($20)

(It does have a door too!)

Hubby did the initial paint stripping and sanding, 

random nail removals and wood filler

The original color wasn't something awful, but I have green walls in the house and wanted something light that would brighten things up. This is before the distressing:

After the distressing

In the house, being put to use as our dvd holder, diapers and wipes for downstairs, and some extra outfits for the kiddos when we are down and don't want to go back up to get something! 

This may just be the start of something... a new hobby maybe?!?!
This could be dangerous because I'm starting to see all of my furniture as things that can be given new life!
