Never Judge A Book By It’s Cover, or something like that!
As expected, the main cabinet is veneered panels. There seems to be pine and cedar in the construction. The whole thing, once sanded smelled like a cedar closet. Amazing. The drawers were beautifully jointed and in great condition, despite the weird stains and burns inside them. (What happened there, I wonder ?!?!?!?)
The thick varnish on it was really gummy and I killed quite a few sanding pads to get it all off. I know chemicals would have been an easier first step, but I’m in love with my orbital sander. I know, I’m a geek! What can I say? I just love this kinda work!
As usual, while cleaning it up for refinishing the ideas start to pour in and I make decisions on what will get painted, stained, or waxed. You can get a hint here from the sides that I didn’t sand completely. I have a few colour option I’m playing with, so we shall see what the finished product will look like. I’ll be on that as soon as possible for you, so please stay tuned!
Until then, here’s a closer look at it as it is mid-transformation.

When asked What Do I Do, I have to answer: I invite and guide people to answer the question: “Have you considered…?”
I believe successful people have passion for the work they do.
Their passion makes the work great and I get a RUSH when sharing their stories.
I write to help amazing people get their greatest work into the world.
Multipotentialite!
This probably sums me up the best. I'm always practicing how to turn a lifetime of curiosity & a passion for sharing knowledge into The New Renaissance Mindset! Along my path, I've developed a passion for art, advertising, marketing, human behaviour, positivity, spirituality, teaching, and creativity in every aspect of my life. Lately, this has given me opportunities to coach and consult on these passions, and to add my art to a variety of projects.
I am fortunate enough to live in some amazing communities that allow me to network with Growth Mindset Thought Leaders, Coach Entrepreneurs on how to Wisely invest in their Growth, Brainstorm with Professionals to answer my favourite question: "Have you thought of...?", and I get to play with art materials.
Isn't life just Tremendous?
