From tired old pine to modern and fresh

In this video I take an old sideboard that was thrown out in the trash and give it a new lease on life.

My son and daughter-in-law needed some new storage in their apartment and asked if I could help build them some sort of cabinet. Not even three days later -- before we had even begun to discuss a design -- I came across this cabinet a few houses up the street. It had been put out for trash pickup.

I checked with my son and daughter-in-law and they said it looked workable so we grabbed it and the renewal began.

I started by sanding down the top to bare wood as it was quite beat up. I then scuff-sanded the body and painted it with a cabinet-grade gloss white latex paint. The top was stained with an espresso gel stain and then covered in 4-5 coats of polyurethane. Finally, my daughter-in-law picked up some new oil-rubbed-bronze knobs and pulls to complete the transformation.

It was mostly pine and pine veneer, so it is definitely a softwood piece. So we know that it will gather dings and dents over the year and earn a patina of age. But it was free, and it's great o rescue something from the trash.
