Here are two before pictures... I really should have taken a better before picture, but by the time I thought of it I had already begun, sorry!
And here is the after...!
I am so pleased :) And I have to say- without the help of that how-to book I wouldn't have had a clue how to do it. I followed it step by step exactly.

Yey!! We finally get to display out wedding cake topper!! and our toasting glasses too!! :)
This special unassuming little pitcher was Nana's grandmother's, who was Violet Purnell. That would make it Violet's great-great-GREATgrandmothers!!! THAT'S 3 GREATS!!!
And finally, here is the wedding present that Nana gave to Carter and I. Every time I look at it I think of her- so special! And I do believe that she would love her china cabinet painted in Interesting Aqua :)xoxo

Jody - you know how Nana LOVED the color aqua! And she would get the biggest kick out of knowing that color was "interesting aqua". What a joy this would be to her!!! Beautiful work you did!!

Jody, please, please come over to my house and help me!! I totally see we have very similar taste!!!! :) XO
Jody,
The cabinet looks great! I too bought the Altar'd how to book but I'm still looking for a good piece of furniture to paint. You're inspiring me to get busy though!
I was just given a lot of my grandmothers furniture and didn't really know how to change the look of each piece. I had been looking for ideas on the web but couldn't find anything I loved. Your friend Helen gave me a link to this post and I was so excited when I saw what you did with your china cabinet. I love it! It looks so good and I have already downloaded the book you went by. You did an awesome job!
