A Sweet Little Farmhouse Style Gray Buffet Makeover

I picked up this cute little buffet through a Facebook ad a couple of years ago. I needed something in the dining room and wanted a buffet with intricate legs and farmhouse character. It was a distressed white finish when I bought it, and I liked it that way, but I needed a change so I just recently transformed it into this farmhouse style gray buffet.

Here’s the original  buffet, against the wood wall in our dining room.

When I’m painting furniture I often use chalk paint or milk paint, but this time I didn’t use either of those. When I painted the cabinets in my laundry room I really fell in love with the matte finish on the cabinets. I liked how they looked with no sheen and no distressing.

This isn’t a true tutorial, because I probably should have sanded this a bit better before I started. So you should probably sand the paint off a bit more than I did.

I added shelf liner I found from walmart.A Sweet Little Farmhouse Style Gray Buffet MakeoverThis is the paint that I used. I had it  mixed in Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal, the same color as my laundry room cabinets and door.

After  I painted it I used a water based polyurethane on the top to seal it. I kept all of the hardware the same.
