Like anything, the last one proved to be the hardest. Her pulls apparently wanted to stay in their place....it took me nearly an hour just to clean & take off all the hardware! At first, I thought I would go classic white with this one. But then - nah! I'm bored with white. I'm ready for some color (Provence Blue) and some major distress!
Here She Is!
Lots of Distress
Someone asked in the last post what I used to change the hardware color. All of these pieces had great hardware to begin with....the brassy gold just needed to go. I used these two products - Rust-oleum spraypaint in Oil rubbed bronze and finished with a spray poly.
Whew! All three pieces - done! Ready to go to W&T's today. This has been creatively fun.....these buffets are the exact pieces I love to work on: authentically old, great lines, and well made. Here's the trash pile of 3 days work ......lovely.
I'm not keeping Amigo #3. The Antibes Green buffet sold before I could even take it to the store, so this one has to take her place. : ( One day.....

Well, there you go, maybe you should paint them all green! I love the blue -it's my favorite. I ordered paint yesterday, can't wait!
All three look great. Nice colors, great finished looks.

It's gorgeous! You did an excellent job! I love that color so much! Thank you for the info about the hardware too!
I love that color! Great job!
I absolutely LOVE that color! Beautiful job on the dresser.
So pretty...I really like the colour! And the hardware looks a lot better, too, now!
Love the blue. But that green - there's just something about it. I have hardly any green in my house but everytime I see something in antibes green, I drool a little.
