Hello friends one exhausted blogger stopping for a few minutes to share my refurbished buffet. Here is the after.
Most of you know I’m remodeling my kitchen and this piece just was not going to fit with the new décor. Do you remember the before?
It is a good piece with lovely features but they just don’t show up and the natural wood just does not go with my Paris Gray and white walls. Also its just not shabby chic enough for me.
So I gave it a coat of primer just to cut down on the amount of ASCP Pure White I would have to use. I stripped the top and then stained it with an Early American stain.
I then painted the buffet white and the front door panels and drawer fronts Louis Blue. I then waxed the base and top back with clear wax and distressed it. The top I sealed with four coats of a satin polyurethane.
By the way don’t you just love my little antique clock I picked up at Wuslu?
After I distressed it I applied another coat of clear wax and a little dark wax here and there to give it more of an aged look. I liked the hardware so I just cleaned it up and put it back on.
I love how it turned out especially the way the details pop now. What do you think? Should I paint the hardware?
Hope I have inspired you today its back to work in the kitchen for me. Have a great weekend everyone. 
I’m sharing with the following lovely ladies.

No, leave the hardware. Even though the piece was gorgeous before, I do believe it's even more gorgeous now. Im your newest follower, so please come visit me and maybe you'll follow back??? 8-)
I like this table a lot it is very pretty. I also like vignette on top of it too.
Leave the hardware, it adds to the charm. It makes me happy to look at this piece of furniture.
I love these colors together, you did a fantastic job! I like how the hardware is, it gives it that vintage look, just updated! ~Marcy
Wow! What a great transformation. I love the color combo and think you should leave the hardware as is. Just my humble opinion. :)

I can't believe that's the same dresser! This project would be perfect for our linky party featuring "Transformations" called Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal, I know our readers would love to see it too! (It starts tomorrow- Friday, March 16th 2012 at 7:00 am and reoccures every 1st and 3rd Friday)
