I bought this little cabinet from a junk store. It's old - *really old* - beat half to death, but at least it was solid wood. I originally had the notion that I would sand and stain the entire thing. But after hanging out with it a few days I realized that was a larger project than I really wanted to take on.
So I went with half painted, half stained. I painted and sanded (butter smooth) the inside of the drawers as well.
Why a farm logo? I dunno. I just felt like painting a barn scene. lol
It reminded me of an old jelly cabinet, although that's a guess. I have no clue what this little cabinet was originally designed for. It's not very big - dimensions are 30" wide, 16" deep, 27" tall to the front and 31" tall at the backsplash. It's very cute.
The color on the farm scene (the blue water & the red barn) are actually stain and not paint. I always like to try new things, and that was my "new thing" on this project. The stain was a bit fussy when I tried to oil the entire thing, so I probably won't be doing that again...
I made up the name of North Valley Farm. The logo on the door is from a royalty free website. The hardware I found at McClendon's.
I'll skip the long tutorial on this one and just post pictures of its progress.
By the way - this Jelly Cabinet has sold. :)
