The finished buffet table!

This project has been a long time coming! Back in August I passed a garage sale and spotted this massive, awesome buffet. At $50, I knew I wanted it! It sat in the garage for a while, then took a long time to get 100% finished, but I love it now! The color is perfect, and I love all the little details in the woodwork.
It wasn't in too bad of shape originally. I just took off all the knobs, re-glued some loose joints, and lightly sanded it all. Then came the fun! I chose Valspar's Breezy Blue paint for a clean, barely blue-tinted color.
Because this piece is old and not perfect, I also distressed it to help the whole piece match better. Krylon spray sealer was sprayed on last to seal that paint and ensure durability. Oh, and of course I couldn't put back on THOSE knobs. The cute glass ones were found on amazon for $20 for the set. Don't you love all the details?!
:( This big baby doesn't really fit in our house, so hopefully it'll find a good home soon.

    It's up for $300 right now... but I've never sold anything in this area (I live in N. Colorado) so this is a trial run.

    I would be *heartbroken* that it didn't fit in my house, because it's *GORGEOUS*!!! All the detailing and the scale are so fantastic! And a great makeover, too! (c;
