Vegas-Before and After Small Buffet

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!

  1. Thanks for the tip about painting the inside of furniture. This buffet started out with so little and became such a beauty.
    Thanks for sharing
