buffet

Now that I have started painting and revamping furniture…I can’t seem to stop myself.
(My husband has started calling me Sir Paints A Lot. Adorable, eh?)

Here lies my boring old buffet (R.I.P) in good ole black laminate. This was the first piece of furniture my husband and I bought together; we needed more storage for all the kitchen ~~crap~~ wares we registered for. She has been a good girl, served her purpose well, but it was time for a rebirth!

Yup, you guessed it! It wouldn’t be a post these days without the help of our chalk paint!
Two quick coats turned this black laminate silky white in 1 hour!

For the frame I used Old White. For the doors, Duck Egg.

I did the lightest of light distressing on this one. I just can’t have it too “finished” looking. Not my style.

Helloooo, gorgeous! Once this gal was done, I just couldn’t stop staring at her. So I did what any great decorator would do: moved it into the darkest, dreariest hallway in America.
(With terrible lighting to boot! Thank God we are moving in days!!)
