Way back when my mom was searching CL 4 times a day for her house she came across a piece of furniture that she knew I needed. In my new house I do not have a lot of storage {in comparison to my old rental that had a whole lot of it!!} So I was on the hunt for furniture pieces that could store all of my glass vases and decor items.
This is what she found...
The size of it is just perfect.. the style of it, not so much! In fact the hubs hates this piece of furniture! When I told him that I could make it look less Santa Fe and more modern he totally looked at me like I was crazy!
"Challenge accepted!!"
When I am done with this thing you will never have know it was a knotty old pine buffet cabinet.
A little wood filler...
A good sanding with 60 grit...
One more sanding with 120 or 220 after the primer and then I am going to attack it with this

| {ASCP in French Linen} So what do you think? Can I do it? The hubs says he will reserve option until I am done... To be continued...... |

I've got your back. I can see the vision and I love the color :)
That thing is going to be boss! Pop you some gold/brass hardware on that baby, and the hubs won't know what hit him. Nice job on the prep work, by the way
FOR SURE YOU CAN DO IT!
I love the color you plan on painting it!!!
Have fun. You have one great Assistant!
of course you can do it! It's going to look great!
Are you kidding? That poor old knotty piece doesn't stand a chance! I do like its lines, because once they're all covered up with your gorgeous French Linen, 'HELLO!!!' will come to mind! Hubs will see ;-)
Moms are the best what a great piece I can't wait to see the finished beauty!
It's going to be AWESOME! What a great find! I have full confidence in you! And how about that little helper! What a cutie! ;)
I love that piece, so strong and authentic! Love the French Linen and your little helper.
Have a good weekend.
