This is a project I'm really proud of. We were given a hutch and a writing desk from my parents that they no longer had room to display. It didn't quite match our home.
Before:
I was going to paint it cream and white, but my mom suggested black. (Thanks Mom!) I changed the hardware to brushed silver and found a curtain panel on mega sale at a store that was closing. I cut pieces of fabric to fit the spaces, used a spray-adhesive by 3M and used an old credit card to smooth the fabric out from the center. The edges are a bit frayed, but they are hard to see and the overall effect is just as wonderful as I'd hoped.
After:
I'm loving my surprise birthday gift from my husband and my parents. A Cannon EOS Rebel Digital Camera. Adam found the body of the camera on Craigs List and was given the lenses (yes, 2!). Adam got to shop for the bag--which he LOVES. He's all about the right storage container for the job. It brings him joy. Here are a couple of pictures from my first days with my new gift.
The two pictures of me were taken by Adam. The last one is looking out the window of a condo we stayed in at the end of December for a week. Our porch opened up to a golf course. The morning light on the frosty grass took my breath away every day.

nice work on the cabinet -- it's beautiful! and have fun with your new camera!
i have the same struggle with my blog: less frequency with more depth, or just glimpses of life. i think i go back and forth. a lot. :) i suppose that's the beauty of blogging -- you get to decide, or change your mind as often as you like!
Nice job refurbing the cabinet to fit your needs. You gave it new life and it looks great.
Have fun with the camera. It is the same one I use and just love it!!

What a beautiful cabinet! You certainly have an eye for seeing something as it could be and not for what it is.
