new life to an old buffet

My mom had an old buffet hidden in a back room I had been eying it for years,  

I never had a place for it but I recently decided to to MAKE ROOM!!!!

My Mom and Dad surprised me and brought it down last weekend.

She is a beauty huh???? 

OK OK she is a bit rough,  a lot of years of wear and tear....

I first took my trusty radial sander and roughed up the finish.  

I then primed it.  I did a quick coat.

I knew I was going to give it a highly distressed finished 

so I was not super concerned with a perfect paint job.

Once I had it all painted I brought out my radial sander again and went to town.

I AM IN LOVE WITH HOW SHE TURNED OUT!!!!!! 

 

quite the change.....
