This is my first attempt at any kind of wood working. We used the plans from:

We left out the middle doors and chose to do a little bit of distressing on the finish since we love the look. We're very happy with how it turned out and are ready for the next project!

Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
We primed and then painted with a high gloss paint. We did some light sanding around edges to try and make it look like natural wear and then stained the exposed wood with Valspar transparent mocha glaze to make the exposed wood look older.
