Music Cabinet
I bought this old, solid (read: heavy) sheet music cabinet for $20 from a friend in Cleveland. I love it's tall, narrow look and the tiny pulls. It has good proportions and is simple, which is always a good thing. I decided it looked too shabby chic in my living room, so I decided to bite the bullet of inexperience as a refinisher. It didn't turn out super-professional, but I really like the natural look of the walnut. It makes the room feel more woodsy, which is what I was going for.

And here she is amongst her counterparts in the living room. And, what is that in the background? A huge volcanic-like mound of laundry? Yes. That is my folding table which never gets used for dining, sadly. We eat in the kitchen.
