This is my morning for giggles! I believe EVERY house in America has something like this in it! I know I do. I have a gigantic beautiful buffet and hutch that is old and dark...and the wood is not particularly pretty...OK, OK...I know I bought the darn thing back then, but remember kiddles, we bought what was there! The effects on wood are much more varied now than then. I would love to chalk paint it...and may one day. I am thinking red with a darker wash! I have 2 large cabinets in my ...»
bedroom, one for the TV and one for my "junk"! Love both of them. My junk cabinet is so bad...that is as in "cool" bad...but hubby cannot believe I actually paid good money for cracked beat up wood! That too caused a big giggle! He drove his truck to pick it up and shook his head all the way home! (And I sat in the passenger seat giggling at him!) This blue is beautiful!

Jeanette S That is too funny! But that is how we like our furniture nowadays right?? My husband knows by now to just smile and say -looks great! ;) And not act surprised when he walks in and I've painted (repainted most likely) something.
