Inspired By Nature Buffet


-028#50927#2

Well Hello My Blog Friends!

Are you enjoying this wonderful fall weather? I just love when the seasons start to change….a big plus to living here in the Northwest.

Today I want to share this b buffet that I just finished.

Here’s what it looked like when I found it. Basically in great shape, but in need of a brand new look…We drug it out of a barn yard ssale a couple weeks ago.

I wasn’t exactly sure what direction I wanted to go with it…BUT THEN, it came to me.

I gave it a wash with ASCP in Old White. I love the way the wood grain comes through the wash technique.

I kept the great wood knobs and painted them with Graphite.

I also added some fun nature inspired hand-painted details.

I picture this piece in a living space below a flat screen television. I staged it accordingly and added a shaker and a couple of martini glasses….

I love the way it turned out and it’s one of those pieces that I was tempted to keep for myself..

But it didn’t….it's in the store and waiting for someone to come along that “just has to have it”….
