A few weeks ago I got a call from a woman who wanted to take a look at my "stuff"!
She had seen my blue buffet (below) on Craigslist and wondered if I had similar items.
After inquiring why she wanted so many items, she advised me that she was decorating
a restaurant. Which one? Well, it would seem that Lucilles BBQ is opening up a new
one in Las Vegas, inside the Red Rock Casino!!!! There just happens to be one 5 miles from my house, so I know my things are going to a great place with very good food!!Since their theme is "Old Time Southern, many of my items fit right in!
She very much liked my work and went on a purchasing spree!!
She liked my blue buffet and my red milk paint dresser, that I have not been able to sell for over a year!!
I picked up a few other things on CL, sent her a pic, and she liked those as well.
This tiger oak buffet got the ok.....no painting tho...which was good because this baby is in
beautiful condition. 100 yrs old and somebody took care of this! All I did was strip the top,
match the color and re-polied!!
just a tad dusty!
My next buffet was in horrible shape. Can you say, "100 years of grease and grime???"
Now it came with a black marble top and a mirror......see below......However,
my customer didnt want either top. And where she was going to place it in the restaurant, would require it being painted purple!! Hooray! Ive never gotten to paint anything purple! I love it.
I made up my own chalk paint with 3 different shades of the most gorgeous shades of purple by Behr. "Mozart" was the name of one of them and the one I used on the outside.
I love this color. I wish I could paint something in my house this color. Such a happy shade!!
I painted over the hardware, lightly sanded and then used some gold rub nbuff to highlight. Lightly sanded and buffed with a natural wax from "Briwax".
The customer said she found a different top. I thought a piece of carrara marble would be fab!
