Project Time

I had a bunch of papers I didn't know what to do with, so I went shopping.  I found this sturdy cabinet at a thrift store.  I saw some potential and went to work. 

This is my headboard and I wanted the cabinet to match.

 First, I thought it could use some legs.  Legs are not cheap, but we found these and added them to the bottom.  I always have this picture in my head of what I want it to look like ~ the legs in my head were much larger. 

 Then I found this ceiling tile, that I loved.  This was not pictured in my head, but when I saw it the picture transformed.

 I made Mike frame it on to the front of the cabinet.  I also made him add some molding on the top to finish it off.  Then I puttied and sanded.

 I painted it white, sanded it (again) and stained it with a walnut stain.

I liked the way it turned out and my papers fit nicely with room to spare.  I still  need to add knobs, but that will have to be some other day.
