I just can't believe it has taken me so long to see how wonderful grey can be! I have finished another buffet in my favorite Vintage Grey by Eddie Bauer. This piece was an unfortunate auction buy. It had a repaired back leg and I didn't realize it until I got home :(. Luckily it was well done and I was still able to sell the piece. Here is the before~
It wasn't terrible but there were quite a few scratches and some chipping veneer. I love a buffet on legs! Much better after ~

Oh what pretty legs! These vintage buffets really do look completely different with paint. The before and after is striking! And I love that shade of gray too. Another beauty Chrissie!
**cat call**
Gorgeous legs and paint job!
That is so lovely! Now I'll be on the hunt for that same colour over here. Another awesome job Chrissie :)
I must agee about the grey, I'm not usually a fan but I really like this shade, especially on your buffet. It looks really beautiful with an updated contemporary look on a vintage piece. This piece could easily blend into any style of decor.
and another vintage gray buffet that i love. sigh.
I just can't get enough of that gray Chrissie! I love it! What a beautiful piece!
That gray is gorgeous!
Beautiful shade of gray! I love the lines of your buffet.
what a beautiful piece and i'm going to have to find that vintage gray. lovely.
I love this color! Its seems like I am always picking your link on linky parties. I love your furniture. I am excited to follow you on pinterest! I kinda have a weakness for it. Any way, can I be so bold as to ask you what the paint name and brand you used for it? I have this incredible hutch that I am refinishing for my dinning room, I would be happy to provide a link to your side and give you some props on the post!
This is a gorgeous buffet! The color is perfect and the transformation is awesome!
I love the smooth lines and the color is perfect! I love it!
Amazing looks wonderful. So nice to meet you just found your beautiful blog and so happy I did. I have enjoyed looking around and I'm now following you, wonderful to meet new friends. Hope you find a spare minute to visit me sometime follow back if you like. Sending you special wishes for a wonderful New Year I’m looking forward to keeping in touch in 2012.
Always Wendy
This is beautiful! I love the color!
I saw this at Kim's tonight in her WOW features. I love your grey paint but I couldn't help noticing your gorgeous paneling on the wall! The bright white looks perfect on your wood floor. Just stunning...Ann
great buffet redo! Love the style! Boy do you have a ton of orbs in one of the redo pics...must be the former owners came with the buffet. patti
This is one gorgeous piece of furniture, great pictures of all the details!
Oh Mine! I just love this. I can't believe we owned this exact piece of furniture and when we moved we got rid of it. If I would have seen what you did with yours I would have kept it. You did such a great job.
Wow, I love this piece. I'm a lover of gray too! Found you at Savvy Southern Style. I'm your newest follower.
Chrissie - The gray you chose is awesome - to me gray is a very classic color and you can never go wrong with it! I love your blog - I just found it but will be a frequent visitor from now on. I love refurbished/reworked pieces - they're beautiful and kind to the environment at the same time!
Gorgeous! This turned out great!

I would never had considered painting this grey, but it is lovely...really like how you distressed it and it looks fabulous against the white walls...well done!

I just found your blog when i did a search for dresser makewovers. I notice that you have done a lot of makeovers on pieces that have damaged veneer. When do you opt to take the veneer off vs. saving it? I have a dresser I recently got and one drawer has damaged veneer. What would you suggest? I"m not sure what to do with it. Your stuff is gorgeous tho! I'm totally inspired.
