chalk paint on the Buffet

so we found this buffet...

and as you know, we LOVE to entertain

and I have BEEN on the hunt for one..

consider i found..

NOW 

it would seem I can NOT locate ANY before pictures

so you can't really KNOW

how i looked

but when I drove up to THAT garage sale

i was IN LOVE!

and KNEW 

it needed a bit of Annie Sloan

it did have this remarkable oval of art work in the center

and I didn't want to cover that..

so carefully 

very very carefully 

I attempted in my

enormously amateurish way

to

save it 

The colors are... do you really wonder?

Pure white

and 

Paris Grey

( though it only outlines in spots..)

I love the details!  

It was built circa 1920's

so it isn't as old as the house,

but I LOVE it! 

the drawers are deep

and see those lovely shelves

they will be covered

with the coolest curved doors! 

I was waiting for things to cure before

Machine Man assisted me.. 

see how it fits SO wonderfully!

See also

how I finally got around to painting all the trim 

yep all done with painting the trim in the kitchen too! 

ta dah!

next time..

I will TRY to remember the "before" photo's

and 

to get a good shot of the doors on..

thanks

for understanding my enthusiasm!
