Some Projects Take a Little Longer Than Others.....



Seriously, I am working on that procrastination thing! Remember this? I think I first posted it somewhere around last November! Then I posted stages of it! Then it got stuck in the back of my priority list. But at last.....

 
...it is done, done, done!
 





 
I am not quite sure why it took this long except that I get distracted by the next wonderful thing to come along. But the Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan transformation is amazing. To cover up the awful vinyl contact paper at the back of the cabinet, we wall papered old music to the back. Then we used Annie Sloan two-part Craqueleur to crack the surface and used a wash of King Gold Gilding Wax over the surface to give it glimmer. The cabinet is lighted and features two glass shelves, one with a plate groove.

The doors are charming with the original metal grid in the original deep brass color. Below is a cabinet to tuck away linens and a silverware box. I just wonder what took me so long! I hope you are charmed by it!
