If at first you don’t succeed…
Lisa gave this antique buffet a blue makeover but afterward she hated it! In order to change it but not start completely over, she “added some patina colors, some darker blues in there to blend. Then I painted the wooden trim on the drawers and doors in a metallic copper. The handles were cleaned and sprayed with metallic paint and then I added some patina, black, and copper wax to them. I sanded the top and found some beautiful mahogany wood so I sealed that and didn’t stain it!”
Blended blues with gold accents really make this a striking buffet makeover. Have you tried anything like this before? See more of Lisa’s creativity on her Facebook page at Timeless Furniture Resto by Lisa.

Hey Jen,

Love the patina on this buffet – very striking!
OMG!!! That looks like a $6000 work of art! You’re incredibly talented! Your work really intimidates me but also inspires me to get better at upcycling the old, tired furnishings in my home.
I did a similar buffet that had the #$%^ beaten out of it in the past. I sanded the top and stained it cherry. The body I painted a rich black. Bought some really dark cool pulls at our local hardware store. It turned out beautifully. It took me about a week off and on in the garage. I wish it could tell me its story.
