I started the project just to find that veneer is difficult to work on...very delicate. I ended up ruining the veneer where I tried to prep it for painting, and the cabinet is STILL in storage because I haven't been able to afford professional help to repair the damage that I did. My advice would be to contact a re-finisher and find out how to re-condition the veneer so that the not-so-attractive parts of the piece are renewed. Most are happy to impart their knowledge on someone who will listen to their artistic advice. I wish I'd have left mine the way it was, especially when seeing how lovely your cabinet looks for storing fabric.SteffShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161844653404740221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18972312.post-63182701352956268732008-02-04T02:58:00.000-05:002008-02-04T02:58:00.000-05:00Great solution for ribbon!

I want to paint it but I haven't taken my hand away from my heart yet. Funny, but I don't feel that way about the other pieces in that set and plan on painting one of the big servers and putting it in my living room. Meantime, I'm going to use the china cabinet in the workshop for storing craft books up top and notions in the drawers.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your decision!

Some bright paper on the back of the china cabinet would really brighten it up. I'm always unsure whether to paint over natural wood myself. I've got all sorts of trim downstairs in my house and it makes things so dark, but it feels cruel to pain over it.<BR/>I love all those ribbons.oliver rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11917878629186316704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18972312.post-29426974708369394372008-02-03T00:49:00.000-05:002008-02-03T00:49:00.000-05:00beautiful, beautiful!
