A Labor of Love!

For our fifth wedding anniversary Matt found me this BEAUTIFUL buffet!!!  It was pretty when he first brought it home, but after many hours and a lot of TLC it is GORGEOUS!!!

The final product - I love it!!!

The before shot.

The process...

step 1 - stripping

 this was messy, smelly work, but oddly enough I think Matt still enjoyed himself 


step 2 - sanding...

step 3 - we originally thought we would paint the buffet but after it was stripped and sanded it was so beautiful in it's raw form that we decided just to leave it as it was - Matt painted on a clear coat finish and it was complete

step 4 - putting all the pieces back together

Sully loves to watch Matt work - it's their man time - can you tell he looks up to his daddy :)

the wonderful finished product - perfect fit for out little alcove in the dining room

fantastic details


cute little hidden silverware drawer

first refinishing project complete!

Happy Anniversary to me - best gift ever!!!
