The Legless Buffet


When I came across this buffet my heart skipped a beat.
It was the only piece in a local antique mall that I could begin to afford...
and it was priced WAY too high for it's condition.
I tried walking away a few times,
but I just couldn't leave it there.
I really wanted to see this thing transformed!
You can see the veneer was in very poor condition...
The doors were missing, and the legs at some point had been cut off.
But still...
Can't you see the possibilities?
So Mark took his monster 12" planer to it and the veneer was a goner.
I painted it with ASCP in "pure white" and used clear and dark wax.
Stained the top, and drawer embellishments, added a wood embellishment of my own,
and some new pulls....


And the transformation is complete!


I think this one is a keeper!
I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Make it a wonderful day!

    I love this piece, and what I love the most is the effort you guys took to take her from a throw away to a treasure...and that is not easy. hope they gave you a deal....because not every one has the vision...

      Thanks Annalee! Of all the messages to send, I guess "repent" could be one of the better ones, eh?
      It started some interesting conversations at the market... :)
