Sheri's Grandma's Buffet
Sorry, the "after" pictures were done at night so the light is not the best.
Painted with an Antique White from Valspar and Black top painted, also Valspar.
I know this may sound funny but every time I go to Vegas to work I go to Lowe's because it is right by my mom's house. But at home there is only a Home Depot, that I love very dearly! So I always feel like I'm cheating on them when I go to Lowe's. I know, it's crazy!
After painted it I distressed it and did just a little black glaze over the distressed areas.
The handles and hinges are the original ones but they were gold so I used mt fav Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint to give them that finishing touch. The knobs she had already purchased. They are a great deep red crystal knob. They are perfect for her New-Old piece.
Here's a tip I learned: If the inside of the furniture is still in good condition, I never paint it. But if it is very old I will put a clear liner in it. This one didn't need that! But the old dressers I have finished I will line them. I have seen some really great ones done with all kinds of patterns. You can have a lot of fun with it!
Thanks for the tip about painting the inside of furniture. This buffet started out with so little and became such a beauty.
