Mine! Mine! Mine!

I found this old piece at a flea market and bought it for $5.00. My husband thought I was nuts but do you blame me? I Love, Love, Love this thing. I had to do a lot of sanding to get layers of peeling crud off of it but it paid off. Under all that stuff was a solid wood piece.

I had some left over stain but the color was too light. I added black paint into the mix and got exactly what I wanted. I love old DARK wood furniture. Anyway my husband loved it too(just like I knew he would) and decided to put it in the living room.

This one is all mine... I mean HIS!
