I loved the original pine finish... BUT it had this on it and the top was broken off.
It had to go. When I pulled it off I was left with this.
I painted it antique white on the outside and decided on a cool blueish/grey for the inside. Then I distressed it using sandpaper and dark wax to give it an aged farmhouse look. Here's the finished product.
This one sits proudly in our dining room (at least for now)...
