So, there was this mid-centry modern buffet...

That I figured I'd try as a kitchen island.  When I picked it up, it seemed to be in pretty good, solid shape.  No HUGE areas of peeling veneer (at least not that I noticed right then...), no rotting wood, the bottom looked nice, and it was a go.

I suck at taking pictures of projects, so you'll just have to pretend you can see all the steps.  Oh, and pretend you don't see my disaster of a deck.  That is SO getting pressure washed and painted this fall...

 So, I wasn't originally going to put the finished project up front, but Blogger had other ideas...

The doors, primed and ready for that first coat...              Aaaaaand the first coat.
