Sweet Cream Buffet

This sweet cream buffet comes from Susan and it just might be my favorite piece that she's ever painted.





Susan found this one at a yard sale. Just look how sad it looks in this before photo!




It had a few veneer issues that she repaired with wood filler. That ruled out staining the top, but Susan thought chalk paint was the perfect option here.



I just love the way she used a combination of old white and cream. The cream is a yummy, buttery color and you know how much I love yellow!






And don't you just love all the pretty details?




























Nicely done Susan. This one is a real beauty!

    Beautiful! Love the cream and white combo. It still amazes me everytime a piece is painted, the difference is unrecognizable.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this buffet. The light color just makes it look stunning. I would love to have you come share these on my Sundae Shake Up link party. I'm sure all of the girls there would love to see these since they go perfectly with my 1950's Soda Parlor theme! Hope to see you there!
