Broyhill China Cabinet: Restored

My sister-in-law, Diana, is in the process of furnishing her new house. She provides us with a good example of "looking beyond the surface."




She purchased this china cabinet used for $70, but it's a Broyhill, which means she's getting far more quality in this piece of furniture than $70 would normally buy.

Here's the finished product. All it took was some paint and new hardware. Voila!

Tips:

• Renew it right the first time. I know from experience that if you don't take the time to prepare the surface, the pretty finish will rapidly deteriorate (ie, paint peels, stain flakes off, etc.).
