1930s China Cabinet Update

I was hoping to finish this project before Christmas but I've decided it isn't going to happen. Some of the hardware I ordered is back ordered so I will just have to wait.
So for those of you that have been checking on my progress, I will give you a sneak peek.

To refresh your memory, here is a "before" picture.

I decided to paint the outside of the cabinet Heirloom White. On the inside I used Bird Song Blue. This has been a big project. So far I've worked about 20 hours but it will be so worth it when I'm finished.

 

Mr. Shabby did a wonderful job repairing the broken/missing fretwork.
After I painted the cabinet, I lightly distressed it.
I wasn't sure if I should distress the fretwork or not but it looked "too new" after I painted it.
A talented friend of mine suggested I add a little of the blue to the inside edges.
I pretty much had to distress it to make it look right.



The fretwork on this piece is just beautiful.
As soon as I finish this project I will be sure to show it to you.
