I was driving down my street last summer and spotted this on the side of the road with a FREE sign on it - you better believe I slammed on my brakes!
Before
I happened to know the nice guy who was giving this away, and he agreed to load it up on his piano dolly and roll it on down the street to my house. Free, and delivery too? I'll take it!
So I got out some of my favorite paint, and yes, it took me a year to get around to the project, but I love how it turned out. I used some spray paint for most of it, and a foam roller with the matching paint in a can for the top and sides so I could get a more even finish.
You can imagine my excitement when I was at the Dollar Store on 88 cent Tuesday and found (my favorite!) spray paint - Heirloom White for 88 cents a can. Yes, this is the same paint I bought at HD for $3.49 a can. Yippee! So now I have a stash - for any future projects I might have (there are plenty in my garage, just ask my husband!)
After, part one - The top needs new glass shelves and still needs to be painted, but I am loving using this as a buffet for now. Much better, don't you think?
I spray painted the small knobs Oil Rubbed Bronze (my other favorite paint) and they turned out great. I LOVE that stuff! I bought new knobs for the bottom, I found them at Craft Warehouse and used a 40% off coupon on each. That made them $1.52 each with tax. Not bad, eh?
The problem is that my brain keeps thinking now it's time to go.
