Today's furniture transformation comes from Susan.
She found this beautiful buffet at out local Goodwill.
She knew this one was a perfect candidate for chalk paint.
The hardware was removed and painted with chalk paint as well.
And luckily the top was in such great condition that it could be stained to
maintain the natural wood grain.
Paris Grey and Old White is a very sophisticated color combination.
Just perfect for a more formal piece like this.
And here she is, all decked out for the holidays!
The funny thing about this piece is that I was also at the Goodwill that day. But this piece already had Susan's name on it. It immediately reminded me of my Paris Grey buffet, one of my all-time favorites. I've been on the lookout for another one ever since. I love this color combination and I can't wait to use it again. I think that just means that this buffet was destined to be Paris Grey and Old White!
And don't forget you're invited back here on Tuesday for our brand new link party! Sure hope you can join us!

Just too beautiful. I love the color combination! So elegant. :)
I'm loving greys right now. This is beautiful.
This is so pretty and the color is beautiful!
Thank you for linking this lovely and creative post to Potpourri Friday!
Love this color combo and lucky for me I have a buffet waiting in the garage and Old White and Paris gray was given to me as a Christmas present. Lets hope the NJ warm winter holds up. Thanks for inspiring as usual!
I am working with Paris Grey right now!! Love this!
I love it! Such beautiful details! The stained top gives it a unique look too.
Elizabeth, this is just gorgeous. Grey is my favorite color of late. This buffet now looks like something off the pages of "Veranda" magazine! I hope you will come by and link this up!
Just beautiful! I love the gray and white even though it wouldn't match anything in my house!
What a great color combo! I really love it. I want a buffet like that, too! Next time you see one, put my name on it, ok?
Sharon,
I need a friend like you. My bestie just moved to Idaho, and she was the one who "gets" what I do. The hunting, the re-doing, all of it. We had such a blast together. How would I go about finding people in Huntington Beach, Calif, that share my interest?

I'll take TWO please!!! One for Little B's room and one for my dining room!!! I've been looking and can't even stand it that this is what I want! You give me hope that it's still out there! Can I just say, too that you did a FABULOUS job updating it!!! Love Love Love!!! I'm excited to be your newest follower and would love for you to return the "love" when you stop by next for a visit!!! Oh, and if you haven't signed up yet, I have a $50 stencil giveaway going on right now and I'd love for you to have a chance to WIN!

I have never been the hugest fan of gray, but let me tell you - you have changed. my. mind. That is gorgeous! So stately and elegant, I mean what a huge statement. Thanks for opening my eyes!
I love gray and I absolutely love this buffet in gray and white. Always amazed how quickly and beautifully paint transforms.
I LOVE this piece if only I could find something just like this. I want to turn it into a vanity for my guest bath. Great project, thanks for sharing! I am your newest follower. Tabitha @ simplyhomecents.blogspot.com
ohhh Susan!!! Great call with the color combo, it's perfect! I have been wondering what color I'm going to paint the piece I'm working on. I hadn't even considered gray... but it's a possibility now.
LOVE this piece. Thank you for linking up AND linking back to ccc.
Catching YOU this week.
