Roadside Rescue

Found this pitched out to the trash and had to pick it up. The veneer on the sides was a little rough but the top and front were in salvageable shape!
After sanding it down the sides of this were not repairable but the front and top could be restrained.
Taped off the area to be painted and put on a coat of light gray.
I restained the front and top with Minwax red mahogany.
I sealed the entire piece in a satin polyurethane.
The last step was adding a piece of hardware on the door. Luckily I had one left over from a project that was a perfect fit.
Enjoyed the project?
