Enter this thrifted buffet. Confession: I call it "thrifted" but it was actually FREE. A client from my old salon gave me this piece and the matching server. You can't beat that. Since I don't have a "before" picture of the buffet, you'll have to imagine it. It looked just like the sister piece that currently lives in the kitchen (awaiting a makeover of it's own!).

I used my favorite paint - tinted primer! I love it because you don't have to prime (obviously) and it gives a nice "chalk paint" finish without having to seal / wax it with anything. This primer is tinted to match Valspar's Antique White. I kept things simple by painting everything, even that hardware! Then I removed the top middle drawer and was left with the perfect sized opening for our cable box, router & Wii.

I love how much storage this piece has! I put in everything from our previous cabinet and still have empty drawers! The large, deep drawers are perfect for DVD storage.

Then I added some of my favorite items to soften the sharp outline of the TV. I thought about using fresh flowers in the mercury glass vase but quickly realized that water + fancy new TV = no good. So silk it is!
