m a k e     a n     e n t r a c e

I finished this custom piece for my clients entry/hallway.


I adore this piece. Maybe someday I will have a mansion and I can just paint and keep all of my pieces. Well, I only want a mansion if I can hire someone to clean it for me. 

{before if you can see around all of the other stuff}




This one is going to a good home though.

I can't tell you exactly what the color is because it is a mix of colors I customized.

I did the usual sand, prime {grey primer},  two coats of paint, distressing, and I did a wipe on poly in satin for the finish. I prefer a poly finish for  darker paint, wax on a dark paint can look too dull for me.

I also touched the original pulls up with a gold acrylic paint and sealed it.

    OMG! I just realized that your piece is being featured today (Friday) on MMS's blog! Go girl! I loved that piece too! Aaaaand, I actually read the current post and see that it is spoken for BUT I would love to have one just like that-ish. :) And I am too lazy to do it myself so I'll buy one from ya when you have another buffet! Girl, we gotta stop communicating this way and meet up soon! Have an awesome nite!

    I have a buffet that is almost exactly like this one. I love the blue.

    I host a weekly upcycling party and would love it if you linked this project up. http://tinyurl.com/upcycled71

    We have one similar to this and love the color. Might have to reconsider our white now!
