60's Buffet transformed to perfection!

Just another average Sunday morning  for LV Design, taking a drive around the Simcoe County in search of some projects and great finds for our clients. We came across this great piece; a 1960's dining room buffet. Picked it up for $40 and threw it in the back of the truck.

The client we picked it up for was struggling to find something small enough in width that still had enough storage for their media unit. They were also looking for something with a unique touch, soft in colour and hardy enough to withstand time. That is why this piece worked perfectly. All this solid wood piece needed was to be refinished in a different colour to work in the space. We did just that!

Step 1:

Here you see the piece before as we were priming it with Benjamin Moore wood primer $16.99 - That is Buddy Love, LV Design's little mascot. Can't get a project done without him.

Step 2: 

 

After: Painted Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143, pearl finish

$ 22.99

There you have it a one of a kind media unit. Our client could not be happier.

Total cost $80....
