This is similar to what I was looking for, and what I let slip away...
But, the other day, I found this little number and couldn't say no to it.
I wasn't crazy about the little applique thing in the middle, but it quickly grew on me. Mainly because when I removed it, there was a huge hole and I had no idea how to fill in the space. So, it went back on.
I started right away on it. Removed the drawers and pulls. And sanded the top. Perfectly. I learned my lesson with my desk.
I covered the top with painters tape and paper so I didn't ruin the freshly sanded area. Then I primed the base. I stained the top ebony and put a coat of poly on it...AND... painted the base....Sunflower yellow, by Rustoleum. Yep. Yellow. I was going to paint it white. But, the boys were napping, I didn't have any white left and I had a bunch of yellow. Plus, it's good to go outside my comfort zone and see what people like.
Can I tell you something? I LOVE IT. LOVE IT. Oh, it is so perfect! I updated the handles. Scuffed them up a bit, distressed all the edges and it is so cute! I hope it goes to a good home!
Dreamy, creamy, buttery yellow. I heart yellow.
Awesome transformation!!! I am looking for a dresser to use as a sofa table so I have been searching CL for a buffet or dresser. You really made it look great!
ReplyDeleteIt's great!

I like the yellow, nice change from white. When you said sunflower yellow I was picturing it much brighter. But his is nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd what? The lady took the tag from your hand?? I need more of that story!
I love it! I'm a HUGE yellow fan :) Nice flip lady!!
ReplyDeleteI love that yellow color! So cute! And the ebony wood really contrasts nicely!! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the difference between the top and bottom.
ReplyDeletelove the color and new hardware you put on it, great job!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be more perfect and ewww all that extra storage. I love drawers!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out wonderful and I do love the pulls you used.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the sideboard! I have a buffet from GW that I'm going to redo and I'm also planning on staining the top and painting the base white (similar to your original plan with the desk). I have a few questions: did you use an electric sander for the top? If I use a deglosser and sand by hand do you think that's sufficient? And did you sand down the drawers and base before you painted?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much - great work!
It looks great! Yellow is such an intimidating color to work with - I'm forever wanting to paint a piece yellow, but haven't gone for it yet. I love how yours turned out!
