Project: Faux Bamboo DIY

This weekend was a bit of blur. I tackled a hand full of neglected projects around the house, but of course, didn't accomplish everything. On my way out to grab some things from Home Depot, I stopped by our local Habitat for Humanity Reuse store. Such a treasure trove of good stuff, especially things ripe for a good DIY project. This time I spotted this.

It might be ugly now, but I see potential. I know faux bamboo is a hot trend right now, but I haven't tired of it. Here is a close up.

 

With a paint job and some new hardware, it could look like this after.

Kelly tackled a similar project and it turned out great. 

What do you think? Should I take it on?
