New obsession perhaps?

I have another project - another buffet - hutch!
If I can't sell this piece it will go in the dining room - because who needs a spare
6 inches of space in any given room?
It is going a glossy white - the hardware will be spray painted black because
I love the scale of them, check out the size of the handles on the bottom
doors ( sort of a chinoiserie look? ) here is the before in all of it's 70's glory.
As you can see I have already scraped off the horrendous gold pattern
on one of the windows.

Will post after as soon as finished which may be awhile because work
at my Mother's is in progress now.

Antiquing...............

Back in February John and I came across an antique store near our house and fell madly in love with this piece.  It is over 200 years old and it's from Eastern Europe - Bulgaria I think - it is a farm house table
( actually opens up to sit 4 people as a table )
And although I still love it - it's a beautiful piece if you are into this type of thing and I am - I keep staring at it wondering if we got ripped off - we spent a lot of money on it - ( the antique dealer says it will only appreciate in value )
Kijiji and CL have spoiled me - I have found so many beautiful pcs through them - that I find myself
questionning this purchase - constantly.
Whenever someone comments on a pc I have refinished myself - I practically scream in their faces
50 bucks - or 30 bucks - or whatever ridiculous amount I have paid for it - like my badge of honor.

I won't dare say what we paid for this - it doesn't sit right with me.

Here it is...........
