If you craft or create in any way, I bet you get that feeling from time to time. When you see a blank canvas and have a crystal clear idea of what should go on it. That's how I felt when I picked this sideboard up off craigslist yesterday afternoon. As soon as I saw it I had an instant vision of just how it should look. I'm going to refinish the lovely slab pine top in a warm English chestnut, with a little red undertone, paint the base a cream that has a definite leans toward mocha, and then replace the drawer pulls with those fabulous coved burnished copper ones. I think I'll distress the surface just a bit after, just so it doesn't look too new. I can't wait to start working on it!!

| Just snapped this shot quickly before work. Look at the dentil molding that runs along the top, the paneled door, this piece has SUCH great bones! |
 |
| This is about the wood tone I'll be looking for on the top, though with pine there will be a lot more grain and variation and interest. Pine's so awesome that way. |
 |
| I'm basically addicted to these drawer pulls. I did a kitchen renovation with them over the summer, then switched out my own kitchen handles to these, and I've been just itching to use some on a project. |
 |
| This is about the color I would want on the piece, with just a little bit of sheen, maybe a satin finish. |
 |
| I really like the distressing on this one. And who can argue with cut glass drawer pulls! |
 |
| So lovely. This is very much the feel I'll be shooting for on my sideboard. |
 |
| Leggy and delicate. This piece feels a bit swedish, right? Love it. |
