DIY Credenza

So I have been on this hunt for a Credenza and while I'm looking I figured I might as well get some more DIY experience.  I found this one on Craig's list for a low $.  It's not really what I was looking for but I saw a picture of a Credenza I did like and this one had a similar look so I thought I would try to transform it a bit and then resale it.  I am still so bad a taking before pics!!  I had already taken the sliding doors off but I think you can kind of get the picture?  You'll see the doors in the end.

BEFORE

 So I gave it a good sand job...which I am really starting to not like sanding!!  Then I stained it darker.  Ugh, didn't turn out the way I wish it would have.  Sorry, didn't take a pic of that either.  Note to self, don't bother staining oak...just paint it.  So after all that hard work, wanting to kick myself and take a big sledge hammer to the whole project, I walked away and started again another day.  I decided to paint it all.  I primed it and then painted the body of it white and the doors and shelves in a light grey paint that I already had.

AFTER

 It turned out quite nice.  I'm glad I did not take a sledge hammer to it lol!!  I sold it the next day on Craig's List.  In fact I had a guy commit to buying it and picking it up that following weekend due to the fact that he had to get his buddy's truck to haul it.  In the mean time I had a nutty lady who wouldn't stop texting me and emailing me, asking me to sell it to her instead.  She told me she would pay more than my asking price if I let her buy it.  Sorry lady, a commitment is a commitment...you can't put a price on integrity.

I have already found my next project or should I say next 3 projects.  My carport looks like a furniture store.
