On a MCM kick!

I picked up another credenza for a heck of a deal! This was made my Broyhill in the early '60's. 

The guy had been keeping it outside and had no idea what he had. 

This was located in a seedy part of town. So I took my pit-bull and a little something extra 

for protection ;)    (I'm allowed to do that btw!)

There are so many on craigslist in the natural state, albeit refinished. They look great! But

they don't seem to sell that fast. I find that people like the ones that are painted.

Since this wasn't in pristine shape, I didn't feel so bad painting it. 

                     I chose gray and black for this one. I refinished the top in espresso.

I redid the drawers as well. Everything was a walnut veneer. Remember with veneers, go easy

when you sand, lest you hog all the veneer off!! Ask me how I know this......

  I love how the wood came out! This is a very masculine looking piece, quite 

different from what I usually do.
