Hi Friends!
It’s been such an exciting busy week here! This past Sunday was the annual Victorian Stroll in downtown Troy. It’s takes a lot of time to prepare for, but I enjoy the event so very very much! I wanted to say a huge thanks to all the staff and family who came out to help us! My mom, dad, friends Jo Ann and Stephanie, brother Jesse and of course, my Johnny made this day go seamlessly! Mayor Rosamilia and his wife Peggy stopped by at the same time as Uncle Sam so we had to snap a shot! We really have enjoyed getting to know Mayor Rosamilia and his wife. Such kind hearted, down to earth people.
Also, if you missed it lat week, we announced Broken to Beautiful! We’ll be redoing 6 furniture pieces for free in 2016. Read all about it and how to submit here.
Let’s talk about this weeks furniture transformation! We bought this buffet because I loved the lines… I just couldn’t wait to add some stained drawer fronts. Then I found deer head knobs and I had to add them to the design. There are deer heads everywhere lately and although I wouldn’t really want a real dear head on my wall, I like the geometric animal head designs for some reason. My mom thought I was crazy when I grabbed them at the store. Lol!
Here’s the buffet before:
We painted this dresser using Benjamin Moore’s color Simply White. If you’d like to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. We stained the drawer fronts using Kona stain by Rustoleum on the doors. Then the top drawer was stained with Weathered Oak by Minwax, the middle drawer was stained with Early American by Minwax, and the bottom drawer was stained with Classic Gray by Minwax.
Here’s the after!
This buffet is for sale right now! We just brought it into the store last week. If you’d like to purchase it, please use our Contact Us form or stop by our store at 272 River Street, Troy, NY. I also added quite a few other new pieces to the store!
