Old Buffet

Found this old buffet at a garage sale.  It has most of  it's parts but needs some love and replacement handles  It has old wooden casters.  Can't wait to get started

Very happy with how it has turned out.                                 Moved it into my mud room

Painting the frame and prepping the door shelves

 Started today by fixing the shelf that attaches to the inside of the bottom doors.

One of the rails was missing went through my scrap basket and found a strip of wood that was just a little thick ran it through the planer till it was the right thickness then cut it to size.   I didn't make it the same width as the top rail as it was only marginally thicker and thought it might be good to have a sturdier rail on the bottom.




Then I pained it to match the colour of the door frames.


Masked the panels of the cabinet then painted the frames with two coats of Behr Ultra 














The panels had 4 coats of Minwax Wipe-on-poly in gloss then I masked the panels then painted the frames of the doors with two coats of Behr Ultra.

 

Backing board replaced

I've replaced the plywood backing board with tongue and groove boards.  I stained them with the Minwax Golden Oak and add a coat of Minwax wipe-on-poly before attaching them to the back of the cabinet.

Painting the interior

Painting the interior with Behr Ultra In honied white and the frames of the upper doors in Behr Ultra in pale honey to match the enamel counter top.

Going to replace the board on the back with tongue and groove pine

Staining the panels

Stained the panels and drawer  with Minwax golden oak

Bakers cabinet

Worked on creating the frames for the replacement upper doors. I still need to router the edges and cut out the inset for the hinges.
