Habanero Pepper-colored TV Cabinet

Well, it didn't start out that way. I should have gotten a "before" shot. Oh well. I can tell you that it was an extremely dark green, almost black. No longer:

The cabinet cost me $135 at a consignment shop. It cost me $65 to get it delivered. Oy.

Then we add the 30-some bucks in paint and supplies, and then the $20 for the new knobs (from Mexico) ...

... and the price for the cabinet comes out to $250. Still a really nice price for a uniquely "Denise" cabinet!

I LOVE how it turned out. Thanks to Dana for her expert painting talent. We both painted it, but she did all the cutting in. I think it's beautiful.

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York but found it too wet and mosquito-ridden to stay. Moved to New Mexico. No, I am NOT planning to live in all the "New" states.

I'm a software consultant by day. I am a dog-lover, gardener, photographer, writer and absolutely love my new home of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I plan to spend as much of the next few years exploring the west, enjoying my dogs and loving life. I also will do whatever I can to get things going in the right direction for this country. Top of the list: fewer guns, stricter gun control laws. My life, the lives of my family and friends, of your children and the lives of all Americans trump anyone's right to easy access to guns, or the need for handguns or high-powered or high-capacity weapons at all. The unmitigated gall of thinking that carrying them as though we all still lived in the Old West is the beginning of the end of civilization, not any kind of a right. Unless you are in the militia. That would be today's law enforcement for any of you who are confused.
