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.

I love it!! It looks great!! I can't wait to see your "secret" project!! :-D
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!
