She Was Headed to the Dump.....

This 1920's Jacobean Buffet had lived in a garage and served as a potting bench for years when I stumbled across her.....

She didn't look to bad from the front, but oh, her top.....ugh





I was up to the challenge!





It only took me about 10 minutes to sand her top down. I wanted to preserve the "vintage" feel of her, so I left the random water rings and imperfections.





Three coats of Kristi Kuehl Pure Home Paint and Finishes 100% Non-Toxic Protective Wood Stain, in Chestnut, and I am ready to paint her "body"!





I chose Pure Home Paints Golden Rule, Heavily Distressed and Sable Protective Glaze.





She turned out Primitively BEAUTIFUL♡♡♡♡





She will be MUCH LOVED in her new home!
