Remember this Buffet? What, you have one like it, or simliar to it? This dining set was purchased for a song by a client. She is steadily making over her home and I am helping in the "redoux". Here is a look at the old set, chairs on are their way......
Do you have a dresser or piece of furniture with detail like this on it? Chances are it is glued and or nailed on as decorative moulding. It can be pulled off with a little help from a small chisel and hammer. You might need to patch up the wood with filler, but with patience, it can be completely transformed.
New Chrystal knobs, dated moulding gone, and an updated black finish. Now that is a Redoux!
Here is that old Dining Table....
What a difference a coat of paint can do.
Stay tuned for the rest of the set.....





Just found your blog and love it. Am a "Cajun French girl". I also redoux street finds. Truly love the silver chair redoux.
