Nutmeg

This piece was a fairly straightforward makeover.  I loved it the minute I saw it, but those darn double-knobs (rather than a handle) drove me nuts from the get-go.  Does that bug anyone else?!

I had intended to stain the top and paint the bottom, but after sanding the top I discovered that the wood veneer was a mess.  So I ended up patching the veneer with wood putty and painting the whole thing.

A peek...

But here is how this piece started...

See what I mean about the double knobs?  So instead of having 8 pulls, this piece had 16 knobs.  Makes no sense to me.

I used the drawers to hold down the corners of the plastic.  It was windy this morning.  And PS ~ after I finished with this plastic, I went out & bought two 9 X 12 sturdy canvas drop cloths.  Happiness!

Primed & ready.  And yes, it is still a little dark outside at this point.

Love the color- Nutmeg by Rustoleum.  This picture really doesn't capture the true color.  It is much less mustardy in real life.

As I said, I had the whole piece done and sanded the top, only to find junk underneath the layers of finish.  So I filled in the wood, primed & painted.

It was hard to get a good picture, since this piece is still in my garage.  I'll post a good shot when I have one.  In the meantime, please feel free to drool over this fabulous hardware.

Next Up...

A table...

4 of these chairs (I know, the arm is missing).  

And 3 of these.

Eeeeewwwwww.... have I mentioned my paranoia about bed bugs?  ALL of this will be replaced.
