Cabinet for a Silent Auction

About a month ago, I signed up to participate in 2 different silent auctions...one for the preschool we attend and one for the elementary school that my oldest attends. I figured that finding pieces to paint for the auctions would be a breeze. It was not. I searched high and low on Craig for a student desk that was solid wood, in decent condition and under $50 (oh, and within a reasonable distance from my house). I didn't find one. But I did find this last week at Goodwill.

A solid maple cabinet that looked like a bathroom vanity. But oh so much potential!!

I wanted it to be appealing to a wide variety of people, so I went with a distressed black.

I've been hoarding these pulls for ages, so I thought they'd look nice on this piece!

This could be a nightstand, media cabinet, storage for a playroom or bathroom, or an entry table. I hope someone bids on it and takes it home at the end of the month!

    I LOVE those knobs!! Are those from Urban Outfitters? I've seen them online for so long, but seeing them on an actual piece makes them look awesome!!!
