recycled dresser

I couldn’t find a home for this old dresser so I decided convert it into a kitchen hutch. the dresser was all ready white so I gave it a good sanding, and the plywood for the upper section was from my saw table that I just rebuild. I started by priming both pieces orange, then mixing a glaze using artist oil paints and poly I build up about 4 coats adding a little black in the mix each time. the top has a base coat of black paint and then I used a mixture of black glaze on top I think I use five coats of poly sanding between each coat. the pine and bead board are also leftovers from a job and they just got coated with plain old poly. the only think I had to buy for this peice was the pulls and if they wasn’t drilled at 2.5 I could of gotten away with some out of by box of many pulls, I know I could of filled and re drilled but the wife found some pulls that she like and you guessed it the just happened to be 2.5 and $5 apiece I still got cheap with a really nice piece of furniture. Now, all them people that I tried to give that old dresser to say they would glad to take it off my hands now.
