Buffet Table
My final piece for the dining room was a buffet table. I wanted something simple made from real wood that I could redo
myself…and with a low price tag. Something like this but with more open storage
instead of so many drawers.
"My Inspiration"
So I began my search on craigslist. It took about a week
to find the one that was just right. I found it just 15 minutes away from a
very nice man moving to Michigan…who was selling it for $25. It did have all 3
drawers when we bought it, two of them became firewood for my husband later
that week.

We got it home and gave it a good cleaning and sanding.
We had to replace the bottom board with plywood for to create a bottom shelf.
Then I painted the entire thing black to match our fireplace and new
chandelier. Add a few coats of polyurethane to protect it from my children…and
finished!
We already had the sanding, painting supplies. So the
only new costs were for the dresser, the plywood, and new knobs…Total cost $30.
