My Entryway Buffet...

  Hey friends!  Last night at nearly 11:00 - I had a notion to paint something... 

 Won't you come in and see?

 That's my new/old blue buffett that was screaming for some love...

 See, last night it still looked like this - white - and even though I love white - this just wasn't doing it for me.  It was white when I bought it years ago, I painted it black then back to white and now it is "Flood Tide" blue.

 When I was in Lowe's - I spotted this lil' sample jar - just two dollars and change.  I already had my glaze and wax, a cheap brush and of course my sander - I just LOOOOOVE my "mouse" sander.

 After a lot of dry brushing with that inexpensive chipwood brush, I glazed it, waxed it and put the original hardware back on and now it is perfect - at least for now anyway.

 I bought this piece of art - which was my first "real" art piece purchase a year ago at our local "Art in the Alley".  It is a watercolor and the peacefulness of the fence row and grass just kinda spoke to me I guess.

 Months later - I found this 5X7 rug at Lowe's in the clearance section for 24.00 - it was another jumping off point I suppose.

 Glass vase from Home Goods - a trio of frawns from my "Macho" fern.

 Lamp with burlap shade - Kirklands and that quirky ball - a score from the Peddlers Mall.

 So here is the view from the den... 

Looking out from the office...

And here coming down the steps.   Next - when I live with this new house a little more - I'm seeing stripes, or a stenciled wall or maybe even some wallpaper behind my buffet - but for now...

I'm happy ;-)
