Television Cabinet Redo

This was my first real attempt at what I like to call "up-cycling." I bought this old baker's cabinet from the antique store that I live above for about $100. They were closing, so I was able to squeeze a SUPER good deal out of them :)  I knew that it was just the perfect size for my new television that I had bought and got started working right away. After stripping off all the old yucky brown paint, I gave it a few coats of antique white paint, and then set to work on the distressing. Once I got the look I was going for, I added a yellowish-glaze to give it an old weathered look. I luuurrvvveee how it turned out! What do you think of my first project?! (P.S. pleaseeee don't mind my mess :) )
