Furniture Makeover: Shabby Chic White Sideboard

This sideboard actually spent its previous life as the bottom half of a hutch dresser.

Solid pine in that golden colour that is everywhere.

I had already removed all the doors and started prepping it before I remembered to take a before shot.

I thought about the size of it, and who would potentially purchase it, and what they would use it for.  

As my main sales channel is market stalls, transporting a piece of this size is tricky, as is displaying it safely on grass at a market.

My decision was made (only after I had prepped and primed it though.  Oops!)  This hutch dresser was going to become a sideboard.  Lighter, easier and safer to transport and display, and a much more multifunctional piece of furniture that would fit in many more homes than a large 3 door hutch dresser.

I kept it simple with a lovely off white, sealed with wax.

I painted the interior with a water based semi gloss enamel.

I used the original handles, I thought they suited it quite well.
