Timeless White Buffet


When my client contacted me requesting her boring piece be transformed to a timeless white buffet I couldn’t wait. She told me that she picked up this curvy beauty for a mere $40 at a yard sale (I’m pretty sure yard sale, or yard sale group ) Regardless, $40 is awesome for such a pretty piece with such potential.

It has such great details, from the curves, carved detail on the legs and feet and the iron scroll work between the leg bases. It also has some marker drawing on the top center drawer as well as rings and stains on the top.

We decided to sand the top down to make it a very dark stain, so even if the marks on top don’t sand away completely the dark stain should hide any uneven areas on top.
But.. uh oh.. the wood top is merely a paper thin covering over press wood. So I had to strengthen the areas where the press wood was exposed and use a stainable wood filler. Once sanded smooth I was able to apply the dark stain.

The body and drawers were then hand painted in white, because a timeless white buffet is well.. timeless. The piece was then distressed to perfection.

The base also had some great iron scroll work that was freshened up with the same dark bronze as the hardware complimenting the dark top beautifully.

This classic beauty is done just in time for the upcoming holiday season and many more to come.
