Oh my I nearly forgot this was a decorating blog , I was getting annoyed with the paint on my new buffet , it was chipping off with no force , in some spots , I followed all of my steps , TSP , light sanding , high adhession primer , paint , but there is not telling what the previous owners have applied to this piece.
My solution was a rub on of polyshades {antique walnut} , it enahced the paint sooo much.

It gleams now and glows with loviless.



I also was able to find the perfect lined basket for my re-done landing spot , thinga majiggy.

Also the mirror turned out very well , good bye ugly bamboo paint finish , hello beachy white mirror.

I wanted to show you my daughters decorating , she did this arrangement all by herself , she did such a great job putting this together .

The wash on the buffet was the perfect solution.
great job o that buffet - I love it!!
Great solution adding the stain. Looks great.
Your daughter did a great job. I love the color of your buffet, it's very beachy and your new basket looks great in that spot by the stairs.
The mirror, which I thought was just a frame from your last post, also turned out great. White paint makes everything better!

My daughters antique dresser looked just like that, in the minty green(paint was called summer sorbet). But we just recently painted it black because she was ready for a change. It looks great black too.
Very nice buffet! I love the basket...so cute and what a great shape.
Looks great - love the stain. Do you put anything on your pieces after you paint them (some kind of protectant coating)?
Love that buffet! It's such a pretty color!
