REPAINTING, REFINISHING, and RE-TILING

Repainting, Refinishing, and re-tiling the sideboard is today's mission. Above and below are shots of the sideboard before the make over. My children and I made this mosaic out of cut up paint chip samples. The problem with those, however, is that they roll up and I did not anticipate this. I used construction paper before for similar project and that worked well.   





I was a little sad to cover up my children's artwork, but it just would not fit with my new, and much calmer, theme.
Above is a view of the front, before the refinishing. Below is the "in progress" shot.


As you can see, all the colorful art is covered by glass tile, which I snatched for only $ 3.98,- at LOWE'S. The paint is by Dutch Boy, which has a build in primer. I will put on the second coat today, and tomorrow I plan on refinishing the front of the doors.
