Yesterday I showed you the mirror that was originally attached to this piece, to make it a duchess/dressing table. I decided to split these two pieces up and give them new life as a wall mirror and a sideboard/console.
I did paint them the same, and also gave them the same finish, so if someone wants to keep them together, they can. The two pieces might work quite well together in a large entrance way with the mirror on the wall above the sideboard.
Anyway, on with the pictures!
Again, the before. Dated, yellow coloured finish. I didn't get a good picture of the top but it had several patches on it where the original finish had worn off. It really needed a new paint job!
I always paint the insides of cupboards to freshen them up...one of my pet hates is seeing pictures of lovely painted furniture with dark grungy cupboard interiors!
My motto is do a job properly or don't do it at all :)

This piece has the most beautiful detail on the door and top drawers.
It is hard to capture a good photo with my little camera, but the finish I have given it has a metallic sheen to it which really helps to highlight the mouldings.
I painted the handles the same colour as the sideboard but didn't put the metallic effect finish on them, so they look a bit lighter.
This piece is loaded on my trailer to come to the Port Macquarie Foreshore Market with me in the morning, if you are local, come on down for a look!
