Thomasville Buffet gets a Paint Job

Now here's a great piece I picked up recently at an estate sale.

(Thank you, Molly Buford!)

It's a Thomasville buffet……

not old.

I loved all the carving on it, 

but hated the new looking wood finish.

And so………of course I painted it!!!!!!

I used two coats of a custom blend of Chalk Paint: 

Old White with just a touch of Louis Blue.

Here it is painted.

Next, I added paris grey to the edges, 

and over some of the wood carving.

Then I distressed sanded, waxed, 

and added dark wax to the details.

I am in love!

I painted the hardware, too..

it's the perfect frenchy piece now.

It's already gone to its new home.

I miss you already!!!!!!
