Been looking for a buffet for the dining room for a while now,found this one out in Sun City West on Craigslist, let's just saw an hour's drive from where I live. It is definitely the pricey-est piece I've bought on Craigslist. But it is also the nicest. It is a Drexel solid wood buffet, even has wheels on the bottom! All I did was cover it in the Klean Strip Sander deglosser, that I got at Walmart, with 2 coats, let dry overnight, then used a free pint of paint I got from Ace Hardware for some promotion they were having to promote Clark + Kensington paint and primer in one, I got it in Bella Luna, painted 2 coats, distressed edges with a brown glaze, sealed it and voila!!! What do you think? My hubby thought I was crazy painting that beautiful cherry wood, but I like to think I updated it. :)
Just like most hallways, we have a hall of doors and guests never know which door to open so few months back I saw a pic on pinterest of an office that had signs for the doors. So I tried to come up with my own version. I found this bracket at Rod Works. It had a sign hanging from it that said "Friends Welcome" I broke it off. Then had they neighbor with the power tools cut out the same shape of the previous sign. I painted it to match the trim on the doors. Then had a piece of vinyl cut to put on the board. I drilled a little hole in top of sign and attached fishing wire to it to the bracket.
