The Dawson Buffet - Custom Refinish Before & After

Before Ahhh - nothing like a beautiful buffet I tell ya! And this one is lovely. We posted before pictures and offered it up as a custom refinish and had several responses so thank you to everyone! A long time follower and new friend Mirien jumped on it first. She sent pictures of the space it would occupy and we talked colors and landed on this lovely red.

After Remember how I said whoever drove away with this I would be green with envy? Well it came true. Although I was not there when she picked it up I took one last look at it before I left yesterday morning and said my good byes. This little wood design sits in the middle of the top drawer. It mimics the detail around each of the wooden knobs. Notice the levels of details around the drawers and the wood border just below the table top. There was no need to change out the hardware because the original wooden knobs were a huge compliment to the whole design and theme of the piece.

The base of the dresser has nice wood molding as well as a curvy vintage skirt. And then the feet! Could they be better? I think not.

We hope Mirien and her family enjoy the newest addition to their living room. I have to mention that this will be sitting next to a beautiful upright piano. Have I mentioned I want one of those? I do. I want an upright piano along with a parlor, a wrap around porch, a breeze way, and house filled with wood floors and high ceilings.

BUT

I am getting way off track here.

So are you ready for the big day? The other night I was running around baking cookies, straightening up, doing laundry and my little one told me to just lay down and think about sugarplums. I looked at her innocent face and deep into her blue eyes and thought about all that was waiting for me to get done and said

"lets do it".

She grabbed a blanket and we snuggled up together on her bedroom floor and did just that.
