I had wanted a sideboard for our dining room for a long time.
The one that matched our dining table
was almost $600...
we couldn't afford that since Shaun is going to school
for his Masters degree.
So I set out to find a cheaper one.
The cheapest I could find was at TJ Maxx,
it was $399.
So I set out again to find a used sideboard.
I found this sideboard at a local store,
Called Savvy Furniture & Consignment!
It had been there for a few months, so it was on sale
for $137!
I bought it, but I was unable to pick it up right away
(I had surgery the week before).
The couple that owns Savvy was so sweet,
they offered to deliver the sideboard to our house!
If you ever need a good deal on a unique furniture/decor
piece, you should definitely check out Savvy.
They have new items everyday!
(I have also sold a few items thru their store)
Since the piece was built in the 1940's,
it had some wear and tear.
So, I power sanded the stain and sealant off
(Always wear a mask when doing this).
I bought a deep kona shade of stain at Hobby Lobby
and only applied one coat, in order to match our dining table.
I also bought some new hardware at Home Depot.
After the stain was dry I applied the polyurethane top coat 3 times.
I put the new hardware on and voila!

| I hung the mirror in the wrong spot, and had to patch the holes..I still need to paint them |
I really like how it all turned out!
And I also love that I can take pride in the fact that I made it pretty again!

Thanks to whoever decided they didn't want this awesome 1940, solid wood,
sideboard anymore.
And double thanks to Savvy for delivering it while I healed from surgery!
