DIY Painted French Bee Server From a Mismatched Buffet...
I was thrilled to do a project using graphics from the Graphics Fairy and have it featured on the DIY Graphics Fairy site.
We started with a buffet that had been repaired over its lifetime and was not living up to its potential.
After sanding and painting with homemade chalk paint I hand painted a bee motif using a projector as a guide then we waxed it and married it to a beautiful mirror we had to create a server for our dining room. I would love to know what you think...To see the whole guest post and learn about the process... just click on the link!

Anything that is antique brass never seems to go out of style. I just noticed the stencil too! How cool, @Cynthia Weber @ A Button Tufted Life... ! :-)
