Wow, Shelley, I was just about to give a smaller version of that cabinet to the CS! Now I can see it painted up and storing spare toiletries in my bathroom. What colour stain/varnish did you use for the top please? Also how many coats of undercoat/topcoat did you use?

Noooo don't give it away Annie I used 3 coats of walnut stain on the top. I then did 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of Farrow & Ball Dimity. I took the hinges off and sprayed them with chrome spray and got the heart handles from Homebase really easy to do and looks really expensive. Hubby is really pleased with the way it has turned out x

Hello all haven't posted for a little while but always reading and love seeing everyones projects after the success of painting my old dresser I rescued from charity shop I've just painted my hallway and decided my mexican pine sideboard needed painting badly. Unlike my last project which took months this took 2 days and I am really chuffed with it. I used the same heart handles as my last cupboard because I loved them so much. Here are some pics of before and after:
