Updated buffet

I thought this buffet had a great shape, but the color was really dated...

I left the handles on and painted over them.

A little black and gold paint and some distressing and...



It's much more current. Today, I had to go back to my booth and take a picture to show you, I almost forgot! Here are a few others:

  27. Um...I need this. I LOVE it! You should send to design*sponge for their before & after feature -- your furntiture is sooooo worthy of as big a stage as possible. :-)

  28. This cabinet looks fabulous! This is why I would much rather have an older piece of furniture than a new one.

    My husband and I are working on a big project right now and although he was skeptical when loading it in the truck, he's now really into making it look great.

  33. It's beautiful! I really love it! The shape is fantastic. I saw a similar piece at a fleatique store a few weeks ago and had to pass it by because I had nowhere to put it. Now I'm extra sad. :-)
