Seeing potential in this heavy storage piece from an old bedroom set, Carmina set to work transforming the blah beige finish to a handful of shades of just one hue. Now beautiful and functional, it’s got a modern color palette that updates its style and creates one unique addition to a home!

From Carmina:

We rescued this piece from a house being cleared out after an estate sale down the alley from our home. It was originally part of a bedroom set, but we now use it as a buffet in our dining room. The piece was originally white but it had been “antiqued” with streaky beige stain by the previous owner. After sanding it out we went for the ombre effect and some new hardware. It is now a great addition to our dining room, and practical too!

Thank you Carmina!
