We were out driving the other night and I saw this shelf sitting by the curb in the rain. All I could see is that it was wood and had a lot of character. My husband helped me load it up and I started work the next day.
It had a bad paint job, really cheap shelf lining and a door that had been ripped off the hinges.
I had to glue up a lot of the joints…
…and I added screws to the top and backing boards because the staples were pulling through. I added new slider feet to the bottom cabinet and felt pads to the bottom of the hutch to protect against scratches.
I sanded and painted until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I think it paid off!
The new knobs add the finishing touches!
My plan was to sell it but I love it too much (plus it was a lot of work)! I’m going to use it as a linen organizer by our bathroom.
I love giving new life to something that could have ended up in the landfill.
