Buffet Before and After - Favorite Furniture Rehab

The story of this little gem begins a couple of years ago. I had joined a freecycle site and had been watching for some furniture.

I tell you I have little angels watching over me because I saw a buffet come up and immediately emailed the owner. I hadn't seen it, but wanted to take a look.

The couple were moving into a new location that had some leftovers in the garage, this was one of them. They didn't want it but at first look I knew I did!

I loaded this buffet into my minivan and brought it home with me.

It sat in my garage for several months, then I brought it in and put it in my dining room, like this, so it wouldn't get damaged through the winter.

I finally put it back in the garage, after we had found our new house and were getting ready to move.

Up until that point I wasn't sure where I would put it, what color to paint it etc.

Knowing where I would put it in our new house, and wanting it to be ready right as I moved in, I did this project quickly, while also packing up our house!!!

I love it! It has great character.
