Buffet with a Surprise

Here is another before and after project. How I love to take an ugly duckling piece of furniture and make it over into something to treasure! This was painted a pickled yellow...It was nasty in my opinion. I obtained this piece from a friend that is downsizing. I thought I could update it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

I'm always on the lookout for a fun project. This special piece started out as an album storage unit. It was given to me by a friend that grew up in Chicago. I just so happened to have a ChicagoFest poster circa 1983 that was needing a new home. I painted the piece black except for the legs as you can see. I also took out the album dividers inside the unit. Now it can be used as storage. The poster was adhered with Mod Podge (I still love the smell of that stuff!). Guess what? It is back in the original owner's home! What comes around goes around. :)
