What better way to brighten up your dining room than with a country buffet with window paned glass doors, bun feet, and a set of extra drawers on top! How about we paint it white to accentuate the great lines and give it an updated look!
We refinished this piece for my brother and sister-in-law and what a wonderful piece it is! We kept the original hardware which consisted of knobs and two dangly pulls. I always suggest using at least two types of hardware because it gives better dimension and outline of the drawers and doors.
The glass doors gives a clean look and is a great way to feature dinnerware and any family collectibles you treasure and want displayed.
The additional drawers on top add yet another level of depth and provides for storage of flatware and dinner linens.

I am not fond of furniture pieces that are flush with the floor. It mats the carpet and feels extra heavy with little height. The popular bun feet work well with their circular element against all of the straight lines of the piece.
Up next we are working on a family treasure as well as a vintage dresser with a mirror and a few custom pieces thrown in here and there. We are also working on our next Studio 5 segment as well as a few home projects (I think I always mention those but the home is a never ending project!) We plan to enjoy the last few weeks of summer before school starts and head to the pool a few more times and perhaps back to our local amusement park. I do look forward to the upcoming months as the fall season is my absolute favorite.
i love that! the shape and style are so cool, and i think the paint makes it! gorgeous!

What a great piece! I love the layers on the buffet--I've never seen one like that before. Also, your tip on the knobs is very helpful as I'm trying to re-do a furniture piece for a friend right now! Cross your fingers I don't botch the whole thing! ;)
