Sideboard Buffet Before & After

I have been searching for a true sideboard buffet for my entry way for-ever. I refuse to pay $300+ for something I'm going to paint, so I spent almost 2 months searching for just the right buffet... at the right price, of course!
I finally found this jewel....
 And after! 


It is for sale... ~$475.00~ The dimensions are: 55 inches long, 18 inches deep & 36 inches high (not including the backsplash). I know I said this is for me, but I actually found another buffet that I'm going to pick up next weekend, it's funny how you can wait forever to find one thing, only to find two! So I will either keep this one or the one I get next weekend, which ever sells first!

Before & After Custom Chair

Before:
 Close up of the stained, worn upholstery:
 AFTER!
 I am calling this style "retro-bohemian." The client chose this fun fabric, which has just the right amount of sheen. The orange in the fabric is picked up perfectly by the orange color I painted the chair. I was excited to do something different, and this chair is definitely fun and funky!

Before & After Buffet

This "buffet" as I am calling it, actually was made to hold a television. The tv is long gone, but this fun piece of furniture is ready to be transformed for a new purpose.
BEFORE:

 AFTER!
When searching for a piece to re-do, always look for details. While these details may seem ugly in their original form, they will always pop and add so much fun when you distress the furniture. Distressing is my favorite part of the process.
BEFORE:
 AFTER!
New hardware from Lowe's, $8.00:
This piece is long gone to a sweet girl who is setting up her first home. She also bought 3 other pieces of furniture from me. 
I spent many hours painting before I left for vacation, but did not have the time to add the finishing touches and take pictures. So stop back by soon for some fabulous projects!
