      @Kgethego. You’re right... she’s a champ. A class act. This cabinet was modernized and the vision of how to transform it from 70s [not that that is ‘bad’] to a sleeker look was cool . We also like how she’s grateful about the pieces she acquires. She seems to respect the histories and cultural significance of the objects. Really like that vibe

Purchased brand new in 1969. They’re STILL in the family, original and still look new. So thank you for that sweet trip down memory lane ♥️‼️

    I gotta say these loom fantastic. A solid black and removing the pulls off was genius. Great job!!! I hope your channel really takes off. So many people overlook shellac and buy unnecessary products within a line of paints. Shellac is awesome to seal raw wood and raises the hairs and dries really fast. . Then just lightly sand off. The old time inexpensive products work as well or better for less. Money saved is money earned 😉. Best of luck to you.

      Totally agree. Without the hardware, these look basic. Especially with this dull color. Hardware would’ve added interest. Without the hardware, it’s like wearing a plain outfit with no jewelry (even simple jewelry) to elevate the look and pull it together. Otherwise, it looks unfinished and unstyled, not polished.

      wahoo4uva - I understand your point, but I couldn’t disagree with you more. Understated and classic is much better than trendy and shiny. There’s so much detail in the corner pieces that I think any shiny hardware or a flashy color would cheapen the look.
