Buffet Makeover..Finally!!

Well girls, I finally had a chance to get my free buffet (found in the trash) completed!
Yeah!!!
I had been waiting on the chalk paint I had ordered and after a few minor glitches it
finally made it here! I will be honest and say at first I was not sure about this product but
I wanted to give it a fair chance. It goes on very flat, almost like a primer with a different texture. 
I had also never used wax before and that is definately a new favorite product!!
After two coats of chalk paint, coat of wax, sanding, and another small coat of wax she is finished..whew!
I moved her in last night and put her in the dining room. I had to do a little rearranging (oh darn) to
fit her but I do love how she turned out.
Wanna see...?? Ok, ok..here she is..

Before



After





Well..what do ya think?? I love all the details the paint brought out and I distressed heavily in some areas. I'm still not feeling the red paint on the walls.. did I mention these ceilings are 20 feet high?? Scaffolding would be required to get it painted..ugh!!

I can't wait to show you what I did with the old door I scored last week!!
Come back and check it out!

I joined the party over at Miss Mustard Seed
