A couple of shelf projects I am working on

A couple of days ago I blogged about projects I found at Goodwill.  Here is one shelf that I refinished and a couple more I am going to start working on.
The first one is 31 inches tall and 12 inches wide and has double-doors that swing open.  It was a light colored pine unit but the finish was worn and needed to be redone and some structural repairs made to it.
I tightened it up and stained it Red Oak and then sprayed it with a satin poly to finish it off.  I think it turned out pretty nice.



This one is next to be finished.  The only thing it needs is to be finished sanded and sprayed with a poly finish to protect it.  It was like someone made it, sprayed a finish on it and then quit working on it.  It is 18 inches wide.




Then I will work on this little magazine rack.  It is about 18 inches tall and 12 inches wide.  the little heart is going away and I will stencil on something that will take up more space and fill it out.  I am thinking of a bird sitting on a branch.
This rack is kind of dirty so it will get a good cleaning with Kramer's Antique Improver and it should be good to go.



I am also working on a Chicago White Sox clock but more of that later.
