Here is what you can do
with that old French provincial stereo cabinet grandma doesn't
want anymore, but this one needs some carpentry skills.
The top opens up to get to that storage area.
The front center section is a foam panel and fixed in place,
I went all the way and cut the middle panel in two and
hinged them to open.
I painted the entire unit with white enamel spray paint. Once
thoroughly dry the cabinet was dry brushed with a dark walnut
stain. The stain moves around easily on smooth enamel paint,
letting you decide where it should go and stay. This was a great
opportunity to use an oil based paint to show you how easy it
would be to simply add stain over top of an existing paint job to
achieve a new look yet not redoing the entire piece.

The finish needs time to cure before using it and I distressed the edges.
