It's finally finished!

Ta-Dah! It's done!

Today I put my sideboard into my booth...my basically non-existent booth! Seriously, there was nothing there. It was pitiful and has weighed heavy on my mind for about a week and a half since the table sold. I had already covered my rent and made money, but still...an empty booth just won't do. I jumped in without a lot of stuff finished thinking I'd have more time, but I'm not complaining! I'm still reeling from the speed of that sale:)

Anyway, want to see the before and afters? Silly question...of course you do! Who doesn't love before and afters?!

Here's the before(s):

(I got too excited and sanded the scratched top and puttied before taking a before pic!)

and

Here's the afters!



This pic's a little lopsided-or I am! Sorry, but there's a limit to how much time I've got to spend using Photoshop!



Like my drawer lining? More of my fabric stash!



Love these legs!

I got this piece at an estate auction. My first one! It's cherry, I believe and heavy! I had seen a picture of it on-line and went specifically for this. Sideboards/buffets are such great versatile pieces. They can go in a dining room, foyer, bedroom, behind a sofa, etc. This is my kind of furniture. I am very practical, and a versatile piece is just that.

There is a tutorial typed up, but I'm a little hesitant to post it. It seems so long! I keep editing and I just can't cut steps out or it wouldn't be accurate. So, even though it seems wordy (which I hate on instructions) I'll post it tomorrow since it's already typed. Just thought I'd warn you!

I have to say, I was extremely tempted to keep this. It's really a little more ornate than I usually keep in my house, but then again, I'm a design mutt. I look at the beauty and quality of a piece, not just the style. If it has good bones, then any style's fair game!

On a side note:

The "men" are in watching World's Dumbest again?! What's with that show's air timing and my reveal posts?! Or a better question is, what does their belly laughter at that show say about these "men" in my house?
