A little project sneak preview

I wanted to pop in and show you guys what's been consuming every second of my free time lately. I finished my Ikea mirrors, and moved on to re-staining the giant curio cabinet in our living room. It's definitely been a labor of love, but I am so pleased with how it's turning out, and I'm really glad I decided to keep this piece.

This is what it looked like in good lighting-

And now- waiting for the stain to dry!

I spent close to 6 hours sanding, and about 2-3 hours staining. I think I'm pretty happy with the color, so all it needs is a clear coat of poly, and it's done!

And in other news- I've got Cameron's one year pictures that I can't wait to share- they just need a little editing (he was drooling during the entire shoot!) and then I'll post 'em here. Take care!

The project is looking great!

And I love a good drool shot!

I am happy that I clicked over to your blog today--Blogger is being stupid and says that you hadn't had any new posts in weeks, but it LIES.

Oh my goodness, I cannot wait to see the finished product! I can tell it's going to look awesome. What a great way to reinvent that piece.

Meredith- heehee its been over a week. Blogger may not be lying! =)
And Sarah- I've always preferred stain over paint. I think it looks better in most cases!
