She is big and dark and really did not work in our foyer. So now she looks like this.
Look at that sweet keyhole.
I started to paint her white.
Left her like this for a week or more. Yup, that’s how we roll around here – half done projects galore!
I wasn’t liking the white. It was too stark. Luckily I was painting with Chalk Paint, so I just grabbed the Paris Grey and painted right over the white. Easy.
Don’t y’all paint right in your foyer?
One coat, and you can see it is still drying.
I used the original hardware and here she is again, all done.
She may stay right where she is, or make an appearance at my space – Vintage Restyled. We shall see.
Have a great week!
XO-
Shannon

Beautiful transformation, It is gorgeous.
awesome this is right up my alley! I am a new follower from the dittle dattle hop...hope you will pop over soon! I do furniture and I garden!
If it makes you feel any better, unless it's a terribly messy project, I just paint where things are in the room too. You did right by changing the paint. I'm liking the "after" version very much!
Looks great! Sounds like you are loving the chalk paint!! No priming is a godsend!!
I could NEVER paint in my foyer! I am the messiest painter ever......walls, floors, dog, cat....they would all be splattered!! :-)
I think this is simply beautiful!
Hi Shannon,
I can't get over the difference! It looks amazing. The color you chose is beautiful, it makes the whole piece look so elegant.
P.S. I'm having trouble commenting on your blog unless I'm "anonymous" :(

I can't you paint in the foyer! You must really be neat. Great job and you're right the grey looks a lot better. New Follower stop by for a blog visit!
You have a beautiful piece now. The color you chose is just perfect. I really want to try this chalk paint soon.
I usually don't like original hardware on refinished pieces but this hardware is perfect. LOVE that keyhole!! Great find!
Very nice.
It´s a huge transformation
It looks so cute now

beautiful! love the color and distressing!
i am working on a china cabinet in paris gray right now! love that color!
The buffet looks amazing! What a transformation!
love what you've done with it! I have a china cabinet that the same exact color and style as your buffet... but I haven't been able to bring myself to paint it... you're great inspiration!!
The gray looks great, you did a wonderful job with this. Well done and thanks for sharing at Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays.
I love the gray color, I have been wanting to try the chalk paint but haven't done it yet.
It looks fabulous!
Such a great piece!
Fabulous transformation!! I just started a blog paty "from trash to treasure" and this post would be a great additon. I hope you'll stop by and join in!
OMG- I have that bought that exact piece for $75 at a Restore, hauled it to my living room, painted the bad boy on the spot and voila, it looks like the twin to yours!
