I bought this bedside cabinet on Craigslist for $30. It was described as an 'antique' and the previous owner told me he paid top dollar for it an antique store. I think 'antique' is a bit of a stretch, it's definitely not a top quality piece of furniture, but I knew it had great potential and it was exactly the size and style I was looking for.
The inside cabinet did not come with a shelf, which I felt wasn't the most effective use of the storage space. I added side rails and a shelf. |
The original hardware was covered in years of paint. I removed the hinges and latch, then soaked them in poly-stripper paint remover to restore them to their original glory, rust and all. |
Note the addition of the side rails for the shelf. |
