Craftster member OpheliaITA recently refurbished her grandmother's sideboard. She writes, "I started this restoration two years ago, but the university, work, and, well, the lack of will stopped my good intentions! This Summer I finally had the time to bring back to life this old sideboard that was of my grandmother's and had stayed for years in the cellar with humidity, dust, mice, and other not so sociable little animals!"
With some hard work, OpheliaITA restored the sideboard to its former glory.

The sideboard is now proudly displayed in OpheliaITA's parents' home. I'm especially impressed with the way she was able to salvage the rusted hardware on the sideboard. A beautiful job!
