Both my husband and my 14 year old said, “You going to fix the top part and remove all these trim broken pieces”? My son assured me no one will want this buffet. Love him;-)
When will they learn? I agree, it doesn’t look new, not even close. It’s used, worn and weathered, and I absolutely love it!!!
This is the 2nd piece in my “Doors” Series, Part II. The image above is pinned on my Pinterest page and I used it for my inspiration. I adore the way the colors fade to one another and the finish has worn naturally. Doors, in general, can either be inviting, mysterious or completely breathtaking. I think the latter applies to this door.
I used all Heirloom Traditions Paint products for this makeover. This is my second experience with these and I’m in love. I used Steamer Trunk, and Oxford for the main colors, both from the Vintiques Series. I also mixed these two to get a third shade of gray. Quite Coral is peeking out from underneath those two and Ol’ Navy is highlighting those fabulous legs.
I added new mercury glass knobs to complete the look.
I was able to get a little aqua color by topping the paint finish with the Oxidized Patina soft wax. This is a new favorite product of mine, by the way. The Weathered White wax gave the darker colors a more”mocha” look…which is awfully creamy looking, yea!
I am having so much fun with this series of furniture! I’m getting so many encouraging comments all over social media and I’m so appreciative of all of you. This buffet sold as soon as I posted it! So, the first five and now these two in Part II have all sold.
What?!?!?! I know, right?
Last but not least, the “BEFORE” photo. Seventy-two inches of good goodness!!
Hope you all enjoy and I’d love to hear what you think.
