Oak Buffet Saved

This buffet was a 'freebee', doors broken, brown stain on some parts, lots of crayon and felt pen kid scribbles. Heavy. Oak. Dip stripped most likely.

This is the after picture.

DH repaired the doors and reattached with new hinges and magnet closures. I used Zinsser cover stain (2 to 3 coats in some places) and CeCeCaldwell chalk/clay Antique White and finished it with clear varathaine for the body and waxed drawer fronts.

Buffet after repairs and before painting. This is a very substantial piece.

Before painting (well, a bit of white on the corner), Buffet came with the dark brown staining in several areas and I am guessing 'tried to fix' and 'too much work' lead to its 'free' status.

Just a few closeups of the condition. Not bad, good bones.

One to two (depending on coverage needed) of Zinsser white stain and two to three of CeCe Antique White. Coming along nicely.

Autumn themed decorations. This is a 'pink' pumpkin.

This white buffet will have a new home soon. 

It is so heavy that I decorated it in place (carport).
