well, the blue buffet piece is done! i didn't really get a great shot of it, but at least i can show you what i did...(really time for me to invest in a better camera, you can barely see the distressing on this first shot! argh....)
here's a refresher on what it looked like before:
photo of the details:
i love the scalloping on the drawer fronts! so many cute details on this piece.
the legs are the absolute best! again, the color is "lagoon" by martha stewart.
have a great wednesday!

post-edit: i am told by a sweet reader that there is a piece like this available on craigslist in the conyers, GA section. the style is 'depression era', just FYI. and of course if you need a painter, you know who to call :)
LOVE. IT. Such pretty details in one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Makes me want to set a cocktail on it (with a coaster of course) in the Bahamas!
ReplyDeleteomg. i'm obsessed with this. i want one just like it.
ReplyDeletea- someone tells me that there is one available on craigslist right now, in conyers! just fyi. the style of the piece is "depression era", just incase you want to do a search for it!
ReplyDeleteit's really way cuter in person. i'm going to get a photo of it once she moves it into her dining room, where it's going to live. her style is precious, so ican't wait to show it off with the rest of the room!!
gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletei want one!
Gorgeous! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks amazing! I actually have a similar buffet, but it's painted in a cream colour. You are inspiring me to paint it blue!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job (as always!) you really are talented! Fantastic colour!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I couldn't even tell in the before shot that there was scalloping and other details on the front. I'm really digging the color, too!
ReplyDeleteSo whimsical! I can picture this in an enchanted dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteOr, you know, my living room. How pretty would that be as your entertainment center?
No words! How sweet it must be to have a job where you make people ooh and ahh and this isn't a baby in sight! Destiny
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I just painted and distressed a whole dining table and six chairs, all inspired by your blog. Now I want to do my side table too. The blue is great as well. Love your work.
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! she's a BEAUTY! well done!
ReplyDeletexo
oh, thanks friend!!
ReplyDeleteYou brought it back to life!! I don't think this piece is feeling any more depression. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Thank you for sharing the finished product.
What a great "after". Love the color!
ReplyDeletei think this is my favorite job you've done!!
ReplyDeleteI love this, so perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have to share this with you...crazy huh? Think you could save it??

This is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could do some DIY instructions for the followers who live thousands of miles away so we could attempt to something similar.I would just have no idea where to start!
Beautiful piece and perfect color!
ReplyDeleteOkay, is it just me, or does the finished product have red on it now as well as the blue? That's not the wood coming back through, but a redish paint. How did you do that? Did you paint the red on afterwards?
ReplyDeletei think it's just the reddish tint of the stained wood underneath :)
