So this sideboard was an ebay find ($50) and after I meshed around with it (in other words painted with Bristish Paints MESH) and did a bit of distressing, it was finished. Of course the plan was to on-sell it but even hubby likes this piece and we can always use the extra storage.
Here's the AFTER

This is the first time I am able to leave a comment on your blog from my home computer yipee. Ange love this sideboard looks fabulous. Now by the looks of that plastic I would say you painted this in the house? Great job with the sandpaper too. Sandy xx
I can't believe how modern it looks. These painted transformations are amazing! x
You're trying to give Sandy a run for her money! You did a great job, Ange. xx
Love the doors! I'd definitely be keeping that piece myself too :) Hope you're having a good weekend x

A girl after my own heart...yep painting in the house is the way to go...Love the colour ...hadn't heard of that one before! What a fabulous job..I love the doors ..but you always have an eye for detail . Kym x
Looks fabulous ... I agree with all the other comments "Love the doors" and the yummy colour you have chosen :)
I like the makeover, yes I think we all could use extra storage. I have been looking for a hutch for my dinning room too, something I can put the Thanksgiving turky on. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love it...send it my way!! ;-D

Wow what a difference. I wouldn't sell that either. The paint colour really bought out the detail on it. I love this colour- I must remember it for future projects.
Lovely job Ange, I can see why you would love to keep it!!!
Hi Ange, it looks great. If you change your mind and want to on-sell, please let me know. ;-)
great job......i love a good diy xx
love this!! you are so good at staying true to your color palette in your house. i tend to stray....which is a problem :)
Great job! What method do u use to distress? ~JUDY~
Lovely! That paint colour is awesome.
We watch Monster Moves sometimes, but I'll admit to often thinking - why would you bother (moving the homes, not watching!)?
Oh Ange, I love the cupboard and the colour!! GORGEOUS:) It looks fabulous in your home :) Hope you are having a fabulous start to your week ~ Tina x
This is such a wonderful transformation! I'm loving that paint color, it's so pretty and looks wonderful in it's new home!

Clever woman you. It looks so good. I'm loving the direction you are going with your decor! Very much up my alley!! Think i have given up on the wing chair but will let you know. Mel xx
What a transformation, love that mesh colour! Fabulous! Not seen Monster Moves?
Well you have definitely dragged that sideboard into this century! It looks fantastic - I wouldn't part with it either. What a steal at only $50. Don't know Monster Moves - is it on fox? Michelle
Looks fabulous Ange! It is an amazing transformation.

Yep! It's a keeper! You need to write an e-book on ebay bargain hunting and restoration!

great job!
I love the colour and the transformation of the sideboard. You've done a great job!
And thank-you for the comment left on my blog. I really appreciate it.
What a lovely transformation you did there...
I still have to try distressing, it makes ordinary furniture look lovely and gives a feeling of warmth in every space it is placed.
Nice post...
What a beautiful piece! Fantastic job!
Ange, hi there, long time no see :)
Love the colour and love the shapes...you are right, you have got the hang of distressing, it is fantastic!
