My mom has had this old buffet for the past 30 years and has always been trying to pawn it off on me. I kept telling her "no mom, I don't need that, I mean who needs a buffet?" Haha, as I'm growing older I'm finding there are more and more things that I need/want that I never thought I would have...
Who needs a buffet? This girl does. I have this hideous bakers rack in my dining area with all our adult beverages on display. Seriously, we're not in college our liquor doesn't need to be on display.
I scowered Pinterest looking for the best way to paint furniture. Of course there are 999,000 different options, so it was tough picking the right tutorial. I finally found one that required NO SANDING! I'm in...
Materials/Instructions
Foam Roller (purchased from Ben Moore)
Foam brushes - Hobby Lobby: I used these to get into all the crevices

Benjamin Moore Metal and Wood Enamel: I took this picture to my local Benjamin Moore store and they knew EXACTLY what I was needing.

Using the foam roller paint on 2 coats, let dry

Please disregard the messy garage, I still have a few touch-ups before I bring it inside! I can't wait to finish this and get it all decorated! More pictures to come when I get this all finished and brought inside!

What do you think of my makeover??
Linking-up with my favorite girls for Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.
It looks great! You did a fabulous job! It might be the paint she used on hers. When my dad and I were making some furniture he made sure I had some specific kind of paint because it had high glossy stain or something. :/
