So I've decided to put my dubious decorative painting skills to work...I will paint the cabinet white, because I picked up a stool at one of the thrifts that had been painted white, and I'm too lazy to remove the paint, and then add some decorative touches...several things have floated through my head... Hindeloopen (a Dutch form of decorative painting), roses maybe?, or sewing notions... have not yet decided on that part...will decorate the stool tho, to match.
What do you think? Will I be banned from the club for this action? What would be your choice of decorative touches?

On a different topic, I picked up some Murphy's Oil Soap like you said for my "new" cabinet. It does appear to have a wood veneer on top of something (maybe press-board). I'm assuming it's fine to use the Murphy's Oil Soap on all the wood areas, right? All this is so new to me and I don't want to damage anything!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving. I am going home from work today and Raquel will be on my table until we eat tomorrow, then back on the table until Sunday afternoon. I don't care if the kids sit on the floor to eat meals, I HAVE to get my runners quilted in time for Christmas!

Most of these were veneer over oak. I know, makes lots of sense, heh? Anyway...use the Murphy's and do a damp cloth wipe down. You don't want to soak the wood, just clean it. Wipe it dry, and then I know you're not supposed to have to, but I rinse the wood too...again just with a damp cloth and clean, plain water.
