Lookie look!!!

Ann and I  picked up this beauty at the D.I yesterday.... $40 bucks! The guy who loaded it in the car was a little offended when I called it ugly. It's pretty ugly. Ohhhh the character it has!


A lot of paint, a lot of sanding, and a lot of work!!!

I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Notice the antique silverware!  My mother in law  makes some pretty amazing things out of antique silverware.  She whipped up some fancy drawer pulls for it.  You can't really tell but the top 2 in the middle are forks bend over to make a pull handle. Its going in my new dining room!  Can't wait!

It looks great! I have been wanting to make something over for a while but I worry that like always I will start it then not finish. It looks hard and time consuming! It looks so good! Great job!

You rock!!!! I love making old and ugly beautiful again! I haven't hit up any DI's , but have been looking at Craigslist. I'm just so scared to actually take on this kind of project. It's scary to me! Love the unique handles!!!
