Furniture Referb - Curb Cabinet

Remember that small cabinet I picked up off the curb? Well, I only showed you a before and after! Here's the whole sequence :)

So I was driving home from my parents and saw this cabinet on the curb. Even from the street, I knew it had potential!
Before
 Once I got it taken apart, I laid out all the pieces and started stripping them with Citri-Strip.
Citri-Strip at work!
 Fortunately, that stuff is awesome and most of the paint came right off! Then I did a few rounds of sanding to smooth out the pieces.
Down to the wood!
And now for the yellow! Okay, so I did prime it first, but that's not as fun a picture to take.
First coat of yellow!

I opted to use the bathroom's Optimist Gold on the cabinet to really give it some pop against the Cardamon color in the foyer.
Starting on the second coat of yellow!
Or the Warm Terra Cotta in the living room! While this isn't where it sitting now, the cabinet looks great in both rooms! It definitely brightens up the brownish walls of the foyer so I"m happy with it there.
Tadaa!
One thing I did not complete was the doors. I wasn't sold on the chicken wire look and the frames were in bad shape, almost as if they were installed separately. So I'm open to suggestions!
