If you remember, I decided to paint it because I wanted to brighten up my living room and since, I can't paint the walls, I thought this was an easy solution!
So, here's the before. . .
and here's the after!
I have to say that I truly love it and it brightens up that space so much!!
I ordered some knobs from Anthropologie but they haven't come in yet, so I bought a few "birdcage" knobs from Lowe's until the others come in.
It's late in the evening so, I couldn't get a great pic but these give you the basic idea.
So, what do you think?
I'm thinking it looks much, much better and definitely accomplishes what I wanted to do! : )

WOW ... what a transformation. I love it, especially how it pops off of your wall now. Such a coastal feel to it (love your accessories, too). Thanks for leaving such a sweet note for me about my breakfast room. Take care, Becca (Adv. in Decorating)

Great job! I like how you staged it for Vday too!
It looks so much better! Wood on wood on wood looked very dark and the white makes this piece pop and brightens that corner. Good choice!
