French Style buffet before and after!!

This was a fun item to restore. It sold as soon as it hit the booth!! Below is the before photo. Up close it had some scratches and dings that were not fixable, therefore it became the perfect project for me to restore into an aged French style item that I love to work on.
Before above, After below

The last picture below is a close up of the great detail work I did when I aged out this Buffet. The detail is what makes this so charming.

Beautiful Huge French Style Hutch Before & After

This was such a large project to undertake. I think it will be a long time before I purchase a project of this size and detail to restore. Although I am very happy with how this turned out.
Below are the before pictures. This hutch was so large it would not fit through our garage unless in two pieces, so that is how I had to take the below pictures!! But you can still see how great the paint and hardware restorartion turned out in the end!!

 Before, and After
 Somehow I missed getting before pictures of this beautiful Dresser / Buffet we restored. For sale booth 825 asking $199 or make an offer.

 I found this old mirror at a Thrift Store for $6, I painted it a black high gloss finish, sealed it with a good poly and now I love how it looks at the kids entryway to the second floor area.

 This picture is not the best, but trust me it was flat ugly, purple mirror with yellow hand painted triangles etc. But I looked past the color at the shape and I painted it a metallic silver finish then sealed it with poly, I can use it as a mirror or as part or my dinning room center peice as I have shown below. Enjoy, Kel
