My mom had given this china hutch (the top part is not in any pics but it is sitting in our office) a while back because she got a BEAUTIFUL buffet from Tommy's grandparent's house. I have always liked the "bones" of this piece bur it was always a little too country for me. When she gave it to me I asked her if she monded if Ipainted it. Well, that was in January...I fianlly did it. I LOVE how it turned out and I did it all myself, on my patio and in our office! This past Friday night I sanded it down (and striped the top), Saturday night I put a tarp down and painted it an off white to match our dining room chairs, after it was dry I put it on the patio and re-stained the top to match our dining table and the wood in the chairs. I also spray painted the brass handles, knobs and hinges black. I was going to get new handles but everything I liked as kind of expensive. I decided I would just paint the ones I had and save up for the ones I wanted...turns out I like these way better! Anyhow. I decided to leave the center door off and take the magnet off and leave it open. I am so happy with how it turned out. Any opinions? Loves

OMG! It LOVE it!! You did a fantastic job. I love that you are leaving the middle door off! It matches perfectly with your table and chairs!! You are sooooooo "decoraty" as Tommy put it. You should be very proud of yourself!

Wonderful pictures, and yes, we love your painted buffet. You did a great job and much braver at tackling that than we would have been. Love all the pictures of Sadie but especially the ones of her playing house and taking care of her baby doll. She is just a baby doll herself and is so loving and giving to others at such a tender age. What a joy she is now to all of us, and will be to others she comes in contact with when she grows up.
Thanks so much for being so thoughtful to write about all of you and your "days of wine and roses". We love being allowed to slip into the Shugan World and feel the love you all have for one another.
Love to all, mama and papa
