Brandon found this on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago for $40. It had a picture of it and the ad read the buffet looks better in person. The woman bought it at a rummage sale and wanted to restore but didn't have time. Brandon got it for $20. Well when we got there I was a little shocked on how bad it looked in person and I think the picture looked nicer. Also I wasn't to happy to see she still had the rummage sale sticker on it for $10. I mean come on take off the sticker so I at least feel like I'm getting a deal. Brandon had sometime off during Christmas so he did this himself with my coaching. It took many hours of sanding and painting (I think 3 days). I let him chose the hardware for the drawers. He picked a gold which I love because it pops with the black paint. I told him we have to keep this because this is his first and he may decide it could be the last, but never the less it such a cool piece. It makes a great buffet or I hoping one day we can use it as a TV console in the living room with the flat screen we have in the family room.
Thanks to the link for your blog. You have inspired me. I do want to know though your painting process :-) PLEASE. From start to finish LOL. You can email me if it would be easier.
