Okay, y’all. Our blue china cabinet. I just big puffy heart love it. I love its shape, its curves, and I love that it is painted a color.
But somehow, it hasn’t felt quite… right… somehow…
So a couple of weeks ago, when I was in a bit of a sanding frenzy, I started giving this china cabinet the crazy eye as I walked by…
I thought, “Hmm… I think I’ll just sand this one little corner, just to test out how it might look…”
…And then…
…I’m pretty sure I blacked out for about half an hour.
When I came to, I had even sanded the hardware.
Now I think it’s just the perfect blend of shine and patina.
Thirty minutes and a little 80 grit sandpaper. I hit the high spots all over the cabinet and hutch.
*gush* It doesn’t take much to give me great elation!
Yes, that’s me, doing the happy dance. [I don’t have a photo of that, so you’ll just have to use your imagination.]
Have you ever sanded back something just to absolute perfection? Do tell!

Here’s the whole china cabinet story… AND other adventures in sanding…
Gina, you crack me up! But seriously, the china cabinet looks amazing.

Hi there! New to your blog, and loving all of your work and ideas. I’ve accumulated tons of sturdy thrift-store furniture over the years that’s a bit dark and monochromatic for my taste…looking forward to looking through your old posts for inspiration on how to spice things up. Thanks for sharing your projects!
