WHITE ON WHITE



Just finished this large cabinet.  The front is composed puzzle-like of different sized doors, the pulls concealed in the edges of the applied circular segments.  Painted with many coats of white and then Burnished and warmed by an applied coat of wax.  The top is whitewashed zinc.
