This large buffet was purchased about 6 months ago and I finally got around to painting it. I was waiting for inspiration to hit for the right color. White? No. Cream? No. Black? No. Nothing seemed right, until French Gray came along and said "Yes, Please!" I saw a chair painted by Freckled Laundry several months ago and new it was the color. So off to Sherwin Williams I went. I normally use oops paint from Home Depot or Lowe's, but I wanted the perfect French Gray for this and didn't want to mess with mixing my own.
I wiped it down and got all the cobwebs off since it has been sitting the warehouse for too long. I already took the drawers out, they aren't missing. I like to put bigger pices on tri castors so I don't need help moving something this big. I broke my rule for this piece. If I can't move it myself, I normally pass on it, but I had to have this!
..And here is the finished piece. I painted the hardware ORB (oil rubbed bronze) of course! I already have it in my space and loaded up. I just need to put a finishing layer of wax on it, but I had to move it when I had the help. So I rushed it, but it won't be a problem to finish. I cheated and primed it with spray primer. It's faster and easier!
