On a MCM kick!
I picked up another credenza for a heck of a deal! This was made my Broyhill in the early 60s.
The guy had been keeping it outside and had no idea what he had.
This was located in a seedy part of town. So I took my pit-bull and a little something extra
for protection ;) (Im allowed to do that btw!)
There are so many on craigslist in the natural state, albeit refinished. They look great! But
they dont seem to sell that fast. I find that people like the ones that are painted.
Since this wasnt in pristine shape, I didnt feel so bad painting it.
I redid the drawers as well. Everything was a walnut veneer. Remember with veneers, go easy
when you sand, lest you hog all the veneer off!! Ask me how I know this......
I love how the wood came out! This is a very masculine looking piece, quite
different from what I usually do.
