    It's beautiful!! Only suggestion... paint the light fixture so it disappears. Can't believe you got this for such a great price!! Thanks for sharing!! P.S. how about that husband of yours driving so far on his day off to support your business, he's a keeper!! ❤

      My husband is amazing! 🥰And about the light, I thought it would look tacky if I painted it, but maybe I’m wrong. ☺️

      I agree, it stands out too much taking away from the piece. It could be painted the same color as the furniture or even gold to match the hardware.

      I have to agree with the suggestion that the light fixture needs painting. I’d match with the hardware. But the piece turned out beautifully.

      I do think both dark and light look equally beautiful, it really just depends on the space. ☺️

    Looks great! I love using wipe on poly. I apply mine with rags from an old cut up tshirt. One thing about the wipe on poly, it yellows quickly on light colors. I accidentally used it on white furniture. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    You’ve done a great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    My personal preference would be to have the outside of the cabinet the same as the shelves & back, or have it dark like ur other one!
    And definitely, definitely paint the light, either gold or match it with the wood.

    I love black… but I love this color you chose! I am going to use the colors you used for the background on a built in shelf unit that is in my hallway! You totally saved me from my ‘what to do’ predicament! Thank you! What a beautiful piece! Are you going to keep it?!? 🦋

    Gorgeous transformation again! You have a great eye for design!! I love the idea to blend the stain on the backing and shelves. Re the light, if you keep it, maybe find a new light that is smaller and replace it.

    • @aliferefurbished
      @aliferefurbished  3 місяці тому

      Thats another great idea! The new light would have to match the size of the current one though because there’s an opening on the top of the cabinet that fits it perfectly.
