this piece of furniture was GI joe husband's grandma's dresser...i wish i had a better picture of the before but i don't sorry! all you need to know is that the handles were gold and yuck and well i wasn't diggin' the wood. this has been on my to do list for a few years, and i'm just so dang excited that it's done!
i also had to paint the wall, which was the hardest thing for me to do because i don't like to paint walls but it had to be done so i did it...
it's defitnitly a step in the right direction...i still need to figure out the decorating on it and the plates but all in all, good steps in the right direction.
have a good weekend, i have a date with barbara the loner sewing machine, and star wars the clone wars is showing in our movie theater here in town so me and the kids are going to that! i may even get inspired and paint a little more...but who knows what next weeks obsession will be.

Good job--did you use spray paint or regular paint? I love spray paint, but it's so dang expensive compared to regular paint. I better pull out the sprayer I got for Christmas and have yet to use because I'm a little chicken.
no i painted this piece, and as a matter of fact i think i might be painting my little one's dresser too bacause it's buggin me how it looks with the spray paint. i have a air compressor now also but it's just too cold to do it outside, oh yeah and i'm scared of the blasted thing too.
Pretty colors - for both the buffet piece and the wall. And the paint jobs both look perfect!
It looks wonderful! I have a few pieces at my house that need some help - want to come over? blessings, marlene
It turned out beautifully! Grandma in-law would be pleased.
