Again my pictures aren't the best but this cabinet was a light yellow and had some scrapes and scuffs from years and years of ware.
I painted it, inside and out and wallpapered the back walls and bottom inside door panels with textured paper. Not the same paper I used on Abe though. This was an ivory damask wallpaper. I painted the trim in off white and added new knobs which I painted to match the piece.
Here is the end result:
It didn't sell at the flea market like I had hoped ( as did Sammy because he had to lug it back home) but it's still for sale.
Thanks,
Rita

Your work is beautiful, and I think you must have an unseemly amount of patience. I sanded the top of a 2x2.5' coffee table, took me around 2.5 hrs, and I could hardly stand it. I still have to do the legs, and I just can't imagine doing something large.
when you have two teenage girls, spending large amounts of time on something else helps!
