Grateful For

Today I am grateful for finally getting myself together and completing a little project that's been hanging around for a good 6 months now.  It feels good to finally accomplish a plan.

I bought this sideboard at Vinnie's at least 6 months ago.  I bought it home whereupon it sat in the driveway under the porch for about 3 months making the house look like a junk yard.  I then managed to move it into the garage where it has been for the last 3 months.  In fact it had become the start of a pile of things earmarked for a garage sale. I had practically given up on my creative pursuit to turn this ugly duckling into a swan.

But I don't know what happened.  I had a sudden burst of energy and commitment to the project.  I ceased the day and just got on with it, and I virtually didn't stop till today.

And because everyone loves a before and after photo. Here they are.

BEFORE


 
AFTER


A few little tweaks to go.  I bought some beautiful bone handles for the door and drawer on eBay. The drawer is a bit tricky getting in and out so might need some sanding.  If anyone has any tips let me know.  My inspiration came from here.

So get up and just do those projects you've been putting off, you will be grateful.
