A Little Black Chest

Since we are kind of home bound at the moment, waiting while all the workmen do their thing, I started a furniture project.  Mike found me an old china cabinet at a junk store, he cut off the top glass door portion, and then got it ready for me to paint.  Wish I had taken a "before" picture.  I painted it black then did a stencil treatment on the two bottom doors. 
 It was a lot of fun and didn't really take me much time.

Completed project.
 
 
A closer look at the stencil.
 
 
The mirror over the chest comes from "Our House" a teen boys home in Olney, Maryland.
Mike and several of the boys worked on antique mirrors donated to the boy's home.
This is one the boys cleaned up and repaired.  We are so glad to have it in our home.  A lovely reminder of some wonderful youth struggling to make their way in the world.
 
 
Have a great week.  Valerie
