Hey there, it's been awhile! I am so excited to share with you what I worked on over the weekend! I inherited this antique empire buffet from my beloved grandmother last year. I originally planned to keep the natural tiger oak wood but it was just too orange for my taste. The piece had a few veneer issues that clearly needed covered. With a little hesitation I finally decided to bite the bullet and just paint the piece white.
I decided to distress the piece and update the hardware.
It's new home will be in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Our future plan for the room will be a playroom for Eleanor and the buffet will serve as a TV console and extra storage.
Have a great day!
I'm sharing at Coastal Charm, Stone Gable, Savvy Southern Style, A Stroll Thru Life, French Country Cottage, The 36th Avenue, and Imparting Grace.
Mallori, I love the paint job on the chest but I also love the vignette on top. Putting the artwork on the cutting board was so smart.

Thank you, Stacey!
DeleteSuch a beautiful piece! Love!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the entire look. My mom updated her grandmother's wash stand by taking off the piece to hold a towel, and in the '60's it was the rage to buy a kit to paint the piece and then use an antiquing method over the paint. We set a TV on it. I still love the color 50 years later!! I'll bet that's longer than her grandma even had the piece!!! I call it new life!! Oh. I'd chosen an accent lamp when I got married 11years ago. The style was the bell shaped narrow shade. I saved it but grabbed a shade similar to yours for my similar style base and WOW!!! I feel like I have a new piece of accessory. Smile. Thanks for inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Gwen! Love the sweet stories.
DeleteYour buffet is a stunner ... I'm drooling over how this piece turned out! It's gorgeous! Well done! Visiting from French Country Cottage. I hope you have a great weekend!
