So if you read the post below this one, you'll have seen that I've been working 
on this printer cabinet like the one being sold by Restoration Hardware. 
Jen Woodhouse over at House of Wood, had Ana White draw up some plans for her after seeing
this cabinet. I liked Jen's so much, and got such inspiration from her, that I decided I
wanted one too! My husband was kind enough to humor me and lend a hand. 
Here is Jen's:
Here is my finished version:
There is no sense in me reinventing the wheel, so, for the actual plans, go to Ana's site. 
For the actual step-by-step, go to Jens site.
Both of these women are absolutely amazing!
 I made a few changes and will touch on those. I also made mistakes! 
If I had to build another one, it would be easier! 
So please, if you plan on doing one of these, follow closely! I will save your sanity!
Wood: I wanted something different. I didn't want to use pine or douglas fir. I walked around
the lumber yard and found some rustic alder that I liked. But,,,,,They don't make 2X2's, 1X2's and 1X3's.in alder. No problem. If you have a table saw

A LITTLE MILK PAINT turquoise country cabinet

I used a little sea green milk paint to achieve a great antiqued or aged effect
on this country cabinet I finished.
It didnt start out this nice.
This photo below was taken after 12 hours of repairing, priming, and replacing hardware.
The upper shelving had a missing bit I had to manufacture.
The chest top needed some repairs as well.
Once I had it all primed I distressed it pretty heavily.
I then sprayed a splatter coat of the Sea Green Milk paint over the entire piece,
which even crackled around the handles.
Photo of the Milk Paint Coat was corrupted but you can see the cracking here in a final photo.
Next I tinted more white primer with turquoise
I used 2 pots never fully mixing it so I would have a varying finish in the color.
Sanding all the way thru.
 I prefer to distress after each coat adding to the depth of the finish.
I used the backer board for the top off a spare parts hutch.
I sanded it, primed it, painted it, distress it, stained it, and finally waxed it all before installing.
Its much easier that way but I know it doesnt sound like it.
Before installing the backer I had to stained and wax the rest of the piece,
it did probably take over 2 hours, pheewwf.
Im giddy with how she turned out,
 
Double plate rail, you couldnt ask for anything more.
 
Look at those curves ......... in the wood I mean.

STRIPPING gold marble cabinet

I found this little chest at Value Village 5 months ago.
It was ugly covered in some reddy brown paint, no handles,
and chewed knuckles on the legs.
 It was also extremely over priced at $75,
as it is not really a vintage piece or an antique.
But I loved the shape and size.
But as you guessed I bought it anyway.
I couldnt sand it because all the details are pressed into the light weight
balsa type wood.
$12 worth of stripper, another $36 worth of acetone, and days of work
this is what I started to find underneath.
White & Gold & Green & Wood
I added 4 true vintage glass knobs, something my mother has been
holding onto for many years.
Because of my love for this piece,
because of the cost of this piece,
because of the labour I poured into this piece,
SHES STAYING WITH US.
