My new buffet!

When you walk into my home, you are greeted with this.
Built in little shelves and an entry table.  
This is where I set up my salon and do hair twice a week.

For the longest time I've wanted a buffet table (thanks to my SIL Emily).
Back in boring January, I found this one on KSL (better than craigslist in Utah) for a whopping $150
They sell for around $400 in consignment shops.  
I thought it'd be perfect for my "salon" station and I could not pass up such a good deal!
I loaded up the kids and headed to Payson with my Dad (an hour south) to get it. 
 I knew it was a winner and I knew it would sell fast!  

A BIG thanks to my Dad who painted it for me!

I just LOVE it!!!!
Don't you?
It just brightens up my room!
I'm still trying to figure out what to put on top of it.  Cole broke my bigger glass lamp so this one is there till I figure out what to put on the top.  That book shelf (which has been so hard for me to stage) has a lot going on so maybe I should keep the buffet simple.  My friend Alicia helped me with the current set up of the shelves and I love it.  
Any suggestions for the buffet?  

I replaced the knobs with Anthropology type glass knobs for half the price from World Market.

My little hanging heart souvenir from Paris.  So cute.  Thanks Mom!
 Notice the detail on the wood.  I love it!  

Here was my inspiration photo
Sorry, no source :(
I love the dark glaze in the cracks that bring out the detail.

Here is another cute buffet with the glaze that brings out the detail.
again, sorry no source. :(

I've been waiting for the paint to really dry on mine to sand and glaze it.
What do you think?  Glaze or no glaze?

Definitely glaze...it gives the piece more depth and a richness that you can't get any other way. Looks great! Love your blog.

I love it! The color is awesome and it looks great the way it is but I still think a glaze would definitely bring out a lot of detail. Love your style!

Hey Amy! This looks adorable. I am sure it is the perfect compliment to your darling home. (We were in SLC last week and I am still bummed that we did not have a chance to stop by and say hi. Hopefully this summer!!) Take care.

Glaze!

Just came across your blog and have really enjoyed it. Your family is precious.

Thanks for the idea on the buffet. I have an old one that looks almost identical. Thinking it could use a facelift.
