    I did do it in stages, but I didn't plan it out for the top and front last. So I had to go back and redo those areas. This is a very helpful tip, planning! I'm working on doing more of that. I find the older I get, I'm slowing down and taking more pride in my work. Instead of just rushing to...

    Hammered Metal Finish Spray, Silver I was wanting a darker color for the cabinet, like the pewter or even the gray but I couldn't find it in stock at the three stores I visited. Oh well, still satisfied. And the drawers are Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Gloss Apple Red For the handles I...
