This is the piece that entertained use in my home office as storage in my last post.
While finishing up some art pieces I was studing this wall in my kitchen, and decided
that this piece was hidden in my office and not looked at enough; you know what I mean?
It was a piece I could not take my eyes off of to its final design and paint finish
I gave it.
The buffet, side board was salvaged from a local thrift shop, I paided $22.00
for, and it was in bad scratched up shape, yet sturdy with European country lines;
and what a deal for a piece that came from Century Furniture Co. High Point
North Carolina, the largest industry in trade showing of fine furniture.
The top Cabinet was married to this buffet 2 years later when I found this!
I took out the glass shelving and added aged alder planks splits and all. I
then added raw plywood beadboard backing to another piece of 1/4"
plywood for strength; adding shelving support runs under the shelving incase
I ever wanted to hang it as part of my kitchen cabinets, rustic and inspiring.
The cabinet cost me $30.00. Alder wood and plywood another $31.00
For $83.00 this is what now inspires my kitchen wall. |
