Painted Buffet

Last spring, I was sitting in my family room looking up towards the kitchen and all I could think was OH MY GOD LOOK AT ALL THE WOOD (Had I known this was going to be on a blog I would have staged it a little)!!

While I was looking around my house I was also looking at DIY magazine. See that blue dresser. Looks so bright and spring like it was all I could think of.

I turned my attention to this nice buffet my Dad gave me that my Grandfather built.

Off to Walmart I went. There just happen to be some spray paint on clearance. Notice the color? I thought it was a sign.

I bit the bullet and painted it.

I loved it for about 2 weeks then I had to paint it again, this time white. I added some new knobs that I got from Hobby Lobby when they were half off. Now I love it. Again, I am so thankful for all the beautiful blogs that have helped me find my style. By the way, I don't actually keep the buffet in the middle of my kitchen, I moved it so I could take the picture in some good light.

It is funny to go back and look at pictures. These pictures are from March of 2009, almost a year ago, and six months after we moved in. The only thing that is the same from these pictures are the cabinets (which hopefully as soon as it warms up will also be different) the lamp has been painted, different table, different chairs, different window treatments, and different spot for all the crap on top of the cabinets--thank God because that was BAD!
