Make It Monday - more projects complete :)

I'm feeling really good about how much I've been able to accomplish lately and feeling so energized by fixing up the place and making it more "us". So my new finished project is updating our TV cabinet. Yes, we live in the 20th century and still have a tube TV, LOL. Anyways, here's a couple pics of the newly updated TV cabinet.

I spray painted the cabinet a satin espresso brown and then bought some new cabinet pulls. Weird thing... one cabinet door is shorter than the other LOL. I never noticed it before, but I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the doors to line up right. After the coats of spray paint dried I sprayed on 3 coats of satin Polycrylic... with three kids, I knew the paint would get scratched if I didn't have some kind of finish on it. For the panels, I used some leftover fabric from the curtains in our family room and stapled it to the panel and then put them back in. I love how it turned out, and glad I was able to save my cabinet w/o tossing it to the curb because I didn't like it anymore.

Check out the before picture... I had to go all the way back to April, 2004 to find a picture of it. I was really into log cabins at the time and faux painting too LOL. I had done a crackle paint on it and then stamped some pinecones on it. I will say that I don't have a before before picture though since that was pre-digital camera for us LOL. This picture was one of the first pictures I took with our brand new Kodak digital camera.

Stayed tuned (pun intended) for next week when hopefully I'll have my kitchen chairs and bar stools finished.
