So I cleaned it up a bit, and decided to paint it a very pale gray. I wanted it to have a very shabby, worn look so I went over it with the sander a few times before finishing it with a polyacrylic. So much better!

a shabby makeover for a country cabinet
My mom gave me this country style cabinet a few months back. I really didn't know what to do with it. But I certainly don't turn down free furniture. Way to country for my liking...
