$35 on the side of the road

If you recall back in Nov I posted about a buffet I picked up on the side of the road for $35 (Isn't that how most Mainers shop?).    Well, as my gift for Christmas I requested to my husband that it be finished, by him.  He put the final coats of paint on last weekend.  Only two weeks after Christmas- not too bad.    I have to say it came out AMAZING!

Let's just remember how UGLY it was!


After shots!  I kept the three handles for the middle drawers.  New glass handles on the side drawers are from Anthropologie.
Paint is Rust-Oleum- espresso.  Purchased right from Home Depot.
