Another glazing project

Yesterday's post showed the first item that I tried glaze on. Here is my second attempt with glaze. I found this item on a garage sale as well. I don't remember what I paid, but I'm thinking $3 or $4. It was plain wood. I spray painted it off white and distressed it. It stayed plain white for a couple years. I love using it in my bathroom because all of my beauty supplies are easy to reach.

I thought glaze might make it a little more interesting.
Again, I used Rustoleum's Java Brown Decorative Glaze.

Getting ready to distress it more

After

What do you think? Did you like it better before or after? I think the glaze makes the piece look aged and adds a bit of character. Here are some fun tutorials on glazing furniture:
