Walnut and White Credenza and an Unusual Use for a Brown Paper Bag.
This was a custom job. I used Minwax Antique Walnut stain and Benjamin Moore Linen White for the piece. A trick: use a brown paper bag to smooth down your newly stained surfaces. It has just enough grit to settle any areas that are slightly rough. I used the bag before applying the Varathane semi-gloss poly sealer.
The hardware is original, patina and all!
I sanded the top with an orbital sander using 80 grit then 120 to smooth it out.
Before applying the varathane poly, I "sanded" the stained top with a brown paper bag. Seems weird but the bag smoothed out any slightly rough spots.

Hi, What gloss is your paint? Semi gloss? Did you seal the drawers after painting. Did you use Polyurethane?
