Teal Buffet Makeover AKA "The Golden Arrow"

I had picked up this orangey stained buffet at a thrift shop. I was in desperate need of some furniture to transform for my booth. I had also just received some new paints. It was a match made in heaven. Add some new pulls and the piece was complete!
Did you all have a great end of the year? Ours was pretty subdued and that was just fine with me. With all the insanity of work and Christmas with the families it was much needed to bring in the new year quietly. One of the last projects I completed before Christmas was this little buffet.
I had picked it up from a Salvation Army store earlier and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. It was solid but the top was pretty beat up and it had the orange finish that isn't real popular around here anymore.
Luckily I had just the thing to transform it. I had received some of this CeCe Caldwells Kukui Stain finish and I thought this would be the PERFECT piece to try it out on.
I didn't go crazy being perfect on the base because I knew I was going to distress it and use some light medium wax to give it some age.
I loved how it turned out and was worried it was going to be another piece that I was going to have to end up keeping for myself, but it sold rather quickly. :)
Honestly I don't know HOW many trips I took to try and find these pulls. I knew when I found the four that was all I was going to find.
I think you will agree, all the hunting for the hardware was worth it. They helped transform the piece. I hope you enjoyed the latest Makeover Monday of 2015. Don't forget I also have a new link party going for the new year. Our old party disbanded so I decided to try and continue it for the new year. Seeing what all of you were up to was always a highlight of my week. I really would love to try and keep that going, but I need your help doing it. Please share the party and link up so I can continue to be inspired by
