You're going to be seeing several furniture makeovers here for the first bit of the New Year!
I have a garage full of projects and tubs- getting ready to go with me to Junk Salvation in
{gasp!}
less than a month!
Whew!

Nothing like hitting the New Year running!
This beautiful, well built buffet was a real find.
I had my eye on another mid century buffet while I was out one day....I was considering #1, and then walked around the corner and spotted this one!

Mid century pieces normally aren't my thing.
They don't make my heart go pitter patter.
I know all the hipsters these days are into mid century,
(I sound so old saying that....maybe I should have said "whipper snappers" instead of hipsters...) anyway....I'm more of a curvy, cottage, romantic furniture kinda girl.
However.
This piece is so well constructed, great size and storage, and I really fell in love with the hardware!
Chevron handles, and diamond shape pulls...
yummy.
Very classic!

I snapped it up.

The diamond insets on the wood was something I decided to keep peeking through a bit.
I painted the body in ASCP French Linen.
This has some metal accents, which I really liked.
Kind of like ankle straps on a sexy pair of heels.

I also highlighted a few of the details.
The wood was pretty scratched in several spots, and if you've ever worked with inlays like this, you know that simply refinishing it is very difficult.

I should mention that this piece is really heavy, so bringing it inside to stage before I delivered it to the shop wasn't going to happen.
I had a big hole in my space because I sold the Elise vanity over the weekend.
So, this one won't be going to Junk Salvation.
I had always planned on keeping this one local.
