This commission is a home made cupboard. When the client dropped it off, I really wasn't that impressed with it. I wasn't sure it was anything I would have picked up for myself.
The doors are very rough; you can tell someone used a chisel to make them. I was starting to really like it...has lots of personality.
I suspect that at one time this cupboard had been heavily waxed. The paint would not stick! I REALLY had to sand off the old finish. It is made of pine or fir so it is pretty soft wood for sanding.
I kept the original hinges, but spray painted them to match the drawer hardware. The cupboard looks great.
I hope the owner is as happy with the results as I am.
If I ever happen upon a rough little cupboard like this in my travels...I will surely pick it up. I love the rustic look. A diamond in the rough
