REpurposed Buffet

Today’s post is about a buffet in a dining room that needed to be revived from the dead. Before/After being the operative words here…

Lots and lots of grunt work on this one. Prep so important when painting old cabinets that were sealed quite some time ago. I used a TSP wash over them first, which actually takes the sheen down and gets rid of any old grease/residue. It was my first time using Benjamin Moore’s Advance line of primer and paint for cabinets. Well worth the money!
