I got this buffet, that was previously my maternal grandparent’s, about 10 years ago. I just love it. It has traveled along with each of our moves and was in our bedroom at the time of our house fire last summer. It reeked of smoke, but I couldn’t stand to get rid of it. I originally painted it white when I first got it.
Like crazy woman, I thought that redoing this buffet would be a good idea two days before Hayden’s birthday party. What on earth was I thinking? Like I didn’t have enough to do already! Ha! I was literally painting and sanding by moonlight one night because I didn’t want June bugs to peg me in the head if I had on the porch light!
I cleaned it up a bit before I got it ready to paint again. Can you tell? ;-)
When I was taking it apart, I found this newspaper clipping stuck in the back between a piece of trim. Remember this. I will blog more about this another day.
I was able to sand it, kilz primer it, paint it, and sand it again to get it finished before Hayden’s party. I put in in our hallway under our chalkboard window and I love having it back in our house!
