Painting A Buffet For A Friend

I went to an estate sale a few weeks ago and saw this funky little buffet. ( I know what you are thinking....she is not supposed to buy furniture. And you are so right!)  I actually didn't buy it, but it was the $100 price tag rather than clear thinking that saved me.

 I was attracted to the color and the art deco design on the doors (which I had already sanded off somewhat at the time of this photo.) But remember, it doesn't belong to me! Long story short, a friend of mine ended up purchasing it and didn't like the color or the art deco design as much as I did.  She asked me to paint it for her.  After sanding the design down, I painted the doors and top a light green to cover any stains or dark colors.

Then I did two thin coats of white with a paint that she had supplied.

A little distressing brought out some of the green underneath.

What a cute little piece she turned out to be!

I've christened her "Hettie".
