I got new addition to my dining room.
A cute little DIY project. I will be totally honest, it's not real wood...
its cheap presswood.
But for the price I paid? Who cares.
How much do you ask?
Less then $150?
Yes
Less then $50?
yes
$35.00!
I know! score, right?!?!
I painted the top and sides all black and just streaked the drawers to see if I liked it. (I forgot to take the 1970's magnets off)
If you weren't born during or before the 70's, don't be scared when I tell you this but they used to use magnets to keep doors closed in almost everything.
The original doors that were in the middle, I took them off. Kinda liking the look I have to say.
Here is a before and after shot.
I poly'ed the top to give it a bit of protection.
All I used was black krylon satin paint and some polyurethane. I used a brush to do several coats where I wanted it all black... and a paper towel to wipe off the areas where I wanted it streaked.

I haven't touched the hardware...I may change it...but for now, I'll leave it.
When I get the dining room re-painted...I'll be sure to post some "staged" photos, but I thought you'd appreciate my reality...
Thanks for dropping by!
