It's finished and boy is it pretty!!

The cabinet for the kitchen is finally finished and now in place. We are both very pleased with the way it turned out. Chuck now admits that garbage picking isn't always a bad thing. It only took me a year to figure out how I wanted this done.
Chuck ended up doing all of the painting since I am such a sloppy painter and he is a perfectionist.
Most of the artistic touches were Chuck's doing. He left the upper shelves red and when adding the black, he put it on lightly so the red would show through. The little stripe of red on the front was also his idea.
He also left the lower inside part red. I am telling you, he has a little bit of "Trading Spaces" in him. All of that TLC and HGTV watching that I do is starting to rub off on him.
Here it is in it's new home:
All of our cookbooks and recipes fit in the lower part and it looks so much less messy than the previous baker's rack.
On to the next project. Still can't show you what I was so diligently working on all weekend. Soon, I promise.

One suggestion. Put some trim on each side of the front. That way you will hide to holes from the old doors. Very nice indeed!
