This week’s furniture project is one of those projects that I kept hanging around in our storage unit forever! John wanted me to throw it away a looonggg time ago, but I knew it could be something beautiful one day. He graciously kept lugging it different places for me until I finally had a design plan for it.
A buffet with no legs, one missing door, peeling veneer… hmmm… what to do with this? I knew right away that I wanted to remove the other door and use baskets on either side. I thought it would be nice to add small legs to make this a lower buffet or an entertainment center.
I really wanted to make this piece pop with color so we painted it Divine Red by Benjamin Moore, glazed it to deepen the color, and added a protective clear coat. It also has dovetail drawers! If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
We added furniture legs from Lowes. Then I found dog knobs and loved that they matched the baskets. I was a little nervous about going with dog knobs, but decided to go for it! Why not?
Worth saving, right?? This buffet is not available to purchase but you can check out other new furniture for sale on our website.
