Bathroom Progress: The Medicine Cabinet

As soon as I painted the walls, I knew I had to do something about the medicine cabinet.  I have always hated the honey stained wood.  It was just never me, but since I painted the vanity, I knew I couldn't paint the mirror.  I needed to have a wood tone somewhere in the room.

I had and idea, I was not sure it wold work, but hey, my motto is give it a try and if it is a fail then you can always paint it.

I thought, what if I sanded down the wood and put on a darker stain?  My problem is my sander broke, and I wasn't sure I could get down far enough with a simple piece of sand paper.  Also, I refused to take the mirror out of the wall.

Well, long story short.  I did sand it, and added Jacobean stain and I then Easy- Easy Lemon-Peasie, all done.  And I even like the result.

What really surprised me was when my 7 year old mentioned how much she liked the darker tone of the wood.  I think those were her exact words  "tone of the wood".  She has been hanging around me a bit too much lately.

And if you are still wondering, Yes, I am still ignoring the big hole in the wall.
