FIRST BUILD!! West Elm Early American Inspired Sideboard

After unsuccessfully searching for the perfect sideboard for my office space, I got up enough courage to make one myself.  I am so thrilled with the finished project!! 

Estimated Cost
$140 all in (wood, screws, stains, polyurethane)
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Minwax Early American on the body, trim and some door panels. Minwax Dark Walnut for the rest of the door panels.

In order to create the rustic look of the doors, I left the stains on for various amounts of time. I also taped off some sections for the initial stain, then lightly brushed over those spots to create a more weathered look
