Dining Room Buffet

I have been looking for a sideboard for our dining room for quite some time.  I was hoping for something that wasn't too big, yet could provide storage for my nicer dishes. When I spied this beauty on Craigslist for only 40 bucks, I couldn't pass it up...

I thought the angled sides would be perfect for the room, giving the room a more spacious feel as you squeeze in between the table and buffet.  All it needed was a pop of metallic lime green to give my new grey dining room a more "glam" feel.  Great, don't you think?

I had hopes of changing out the brass hardware, but with the start of yet another project, my budget didn't allow for it.  So, I decided to paint them green also to be a little less distracting.  I think they add a bit of character, so I'm glad I kept them after all.

As for details, I removed the hardware and doors.  I gave the entire thing a quick sanding and applied 1 coat of Zinsser primer.  I painted the cabinet (with sprayer and by hand) with a 2 coats of Apple Green satin paint.  After it was dried, I applied 2+ coats of Modern Masters Metallic Paint in Green Apple (Semi-Opaue) with a foam roller and a brush.

More to follow on my dining room transformation!
