French Sideboard

French buffets have to top my list of pieces I love to transform.  I would say the most popular piece of furniture I redid was this one….

I also did a more subdued version seen here...
And then there was this sideboard that I gave chalkboard panels….
I just love this style!  I have done more but it was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth before I blogged.  Well, of course when I found this piece at the Salvation Army a couple weeks ago, I jumped on it.  And did a dance.  Right there on the table top in the Salvation Army.  Ok, not quite, but I ripped off that tag and ran to the register as fast as I could!

I am over at the DIY Club today sharing all the details of its transformation, but I won’t leave you hanging without a couple after shots….

And I am kind of digging this color against my house…. hmmmm front door color possibility????
Anyhow, hop over to The DIY Club for all the deets!

    I love that color and it does look great against your house! How in the check do you find time to do it all? I’m amazed at what you accomplish.

    So pretty Cassie! I love the color. Our long term plan is to turn our current formal living room into the formal dining room. When I do that, I will finally have room for a sideboard and definitely want to do something like this.

    I love the thrill of running to the register with that tag in hand. It hasn’t happened for awhile. Sad.

    I really like that color and it looks like it is working fabulously with your house colors. I think you’re onto something!

    You are so darn good at painting furniture! These pieces are really beautiful…love the colors. That aqua would be perfect for your front door!
    I’ve had trouble in the past with scheduled posts posting, and I never did figure it out…hope your issue is just temporary. Blogger is so weird!!!

    Wow, that piece looks to be in mint condition! You work such beautiful magic on all the furniture but that one with the chalkboard on it is my favorite! Heading over now. 🙂

    Oh gosh, but I love that style of sideboard! They’re so hard to find out here! Another beautiful finish on your latest version. Hope you get your blog issue figured out. I’m so basic with blogger that I’ve never even tried to post in anything but real time!

    Love the new color! I’ve heard bloggers been having problems with scheduled posts. Hopefully it’s fixed before too long. I usually like to schedule posts ahead of time when I know that I’m going to be taking a blogging break(unlike last week when I just took the week off.)

    Your furniture makeovers are always so inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

    I would have done the happy dance, too, if I’d found that piece! I never have luck finding sideboards. You did a beautiful job with it! All of them!

    really cute! those get snapped up pretty fast around here, so I haven’t had a chance yet! 🙂 Love the color with your house!
    I’ve had that same problem in the past with scheduling, Cassie. It really got to be a problem last year on vacation!!!! >:(
    It hasn’t done it recently, and I’m not sure why. Scheduling has been working….? Soooo frustrating though!

    I am beginning to think you could do these pieces in your sleep, Cassie! I love the color. I have a yellow house with a blue door (different hue) but it looks great and others in the neighborhood have followed suit – I think you should try it. Gorgeous!

    Hi Cassie

    I’ve given up trying to schedule a post as it never seems to go up when I’ve requested it. So I’m using real time posting with blogger.

    Love the sideboard – love all the painted furniture. I’ve joined the painted furniture bandwagon and just picked up two pieces to re-do.

    They are gorgeous Cassie, we just don’t get furniture like that here.

    I also almost did a dance at the Salvation Army the other day too, I scored a great sideboard and had to hover around to stake my claim once some other women had walked away from it, talk about stressful, haha! I haven’t picked it up yet but am so exicted to get stuck into it, yay!

    Wow! You’ve done a ton of these! Love the color on this one! You’re right – that would look pretty spiffy as a front door color!!

    Pure gorgeousness! It tempts me to paint the vintage dresser I have that I use as a sideboard…if I can let go of the sentimental factor (it’s from my childhood home, it belonged to my parents when I was growing up) I might paint it.
    A resounding YES for the front door color!

    Thanks for inspiring.

    How did I miss this post????? Oh be still my heart. You just did the number one piece of furniture that leaves me breathless every time. The French Side board or Buffet. I have not found one at a thrift store in years, but if I did I would be doing a dance too! And not only would I be running to the register with the price tag, I would probably be running so fast I knocked over kind old ladies on the way. I have one in my garage that I have been saving. Now that I have a bigger space to sell my things, I can’t wait to “Redoux” this one next. And yes, I do really love that color against your house.

    So beautiful! The piece you just completed is exactly like one that belonged to my parents. My mom called it French Providential. Want to know how many times I dusted it? Lots! 🙂 They had the whole set and it now belongs to my sister and fits just right in her home.

    You did such fantastic job refinishing it and it looks beautiful!
