When we lived in England about 15 years ago....geeeez I'm getting old! my parents bought themselves some china. They ended up getting a divorce shortly after we moved to America and my mom got the china. My mom never got a hutch or anything to put it in and I believe she's only ever had it out of the box just a few times. Well when Josh and I got married my mom gave us the china as a wedding present. Josh and I have been married about 3 1/2 years now and never even looked at the stuff! Recently we started looking and china cabinets and holy cow they are expensive. So we had an idea to look on ksl.com (well josh really had the idea) and ended up buying one for $175.00 that needed some work. I think we've had the thing for about a month now sitting in the garage. Recently Josh has been working pretty hard on it but it's time consuming. He has to sand it to get it ready to paint, then paint it, and then sand it again to give it that Antique look =). It sucks though cause there are a lot of spots that are really hard to get to. I wish I would have taken a picture before we started but here is a picture of what it looks like right now.
