Buffet Before and After

Hello Friends~ ~ ~

This is the after shot. Not to everyones

taste but a little whimsy is good in my

house. Wait till you see how ugly

and dirty it was.

After seeing some of the painted furniture out there I got to thinking if only I was an artist. I've got this ugly buffet that I need to do something about. Because of all the panels on it I was thinking a fancy paint job would look great.
This is a shot Before the transformation. I really disliked the wide gold rim around the edges and panels.

Do you get so excited about a project that you forget to take a before shot? I had the buffet all pulled apart before I remembered.


First I used my Cottage White paint and painted the piece and rubbed some off to let the original yellow cream color show through.

Above, drawers before.

Above drawers painted. The centers will get papered.

Above drawers finished.

I used Mod Podge to glue the paper and as a top coat.

This top drawer is papered with a paper I printed at the Graphic Fairy. If you are not familiar with her she shares, bless her, the most beautiful vintage graphics for our use. Thank you Karen.

I almost papered all the drawers with the script but decided I wanted more pizzaz.

Both sides of the piece are done with this lavender print.

Ta Da! I love it, let me know what you think.

I will be doing the top in a harlequin pattern and I need some suggestions about which 2 colors you would use for the top. Please leave a comment with your suggestions. Thanks so much.
