China Cabinet Redo

This is one of my largest projects to date. I am a firm believer to hold out for the right piece of furniture, especially when buying used. I have been searching for a buffet for my dining room for years, and had completely given up hope. A friend asked for me to look for her a few items for her new house. So, I woke up early for the hunt, and low and behold this beautiful cherry china cabinet. It was marked for $350-400 so I went on my way. The next day I went back to the sale and it was $100, I offered $80 SOLD!  I couldn't believe. After getting this sweetie home I high tailed it to  White Goat in Little Rock for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. After help, from a lovely young man at WG, I decided on Paris Grey and Aries.
Lesson learned, never set your mind to a specific piece of furniture....you may miss a beautiful China Cabinet.
PS: My sister gifted me 4 beautiful knobs for Christmas, but I have to solder them, I'll post that another day.

    I see that you used Annie Sloan paint. I love what you did with it and what a price you got it for.
