for my birthday...Its a couple weeks away but he surprised me
with this last weekend...He knew I have been wanting one and it
was a good price so my loving son gave me the money and we
went and picked it up....
I chose a unfinished one which saved $100.00 and refinished it
myself...It came with or without the tin panels and I chose with..
I already had a gallon of Valspar..flat black so I took out the tin inserts
and gave it two coats of flat black leaving it dry overnight in between coats..
I then sanded down the edges and applied two coats of Minwax, Dark Walnut
Stain..
Here's what it looked like when we brought it home..
I'm pleased with the outcome and saved my son a $100.00 in the process by
refinishing it myself..
I leave you with a few photo's of the prim display I placed on top and on the shelf that came from
my grandparents farmhouse..
Thank for stopping in for a visit..
Have a great weekend and
Take care and be safe...
Prim hugs,
Trena
