Inspiration via Censational Girl

I peruse quite a few fashion/design blogs on a daily basis and last week I happened to be inspired by Censational Girl.

She took this:

And turned it into this:

You see there is this old, ginormous, really ugly credenza in the basement.  It is currently used to store odds and ends and really is more of an eyesore than anything else.  Which explains why it resides in the basement.

This is what I'm starting with:

And hope to have an end result as stunning as Censational Girls.  Mine will be a different color though, specifically:

Behr Amazon Moss (450F-5)

Ours will function as a desk as we have removed the middle shelves of the credenza.  I count myself lucky that ours just so happened to have a perfectly fit glass top, which will help to protect that white detail.

So far we have sanded, primed, sanded, tinted primed, sanded, and done one coat of the final color.  It looks like we're going to have to do at least two, possibly three coats of the Amazon Moss.  Then we'll attempt the detailing.  I'm hoping to have this project completed in the next few weeks!
