Last time I was pregnant I did this. And this time around I HAD to create an entertainment center and I wanted to "antique" it. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. All I know is I nest in strange ways.
Here is the plain ol' veneer book case.
Sanded.
Primed (with Zinni in a Santa hat for some reason).
Blue (Robin's egg) is the color I chose.
The antiquing didn't turn out as I'd hoped but it'll do.
The finished product.
Every piece was purchased on KSL and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I really like the dark wood side pieces with the "pop" blue in the middle.
The other side of nesting, the deep cleaning and such may be surfacing a little. We'll see.
