Our new buffet is actually what was once a very old and icky buffet.  I saw it at a garage sale for a few dollars and couldn’t resist.  I thought it would be fun to see if I could bring life back to this old gem.  It was a lot of hard work getting the old veneer top all off and fixing some chunks that were missing from the detailing on the front.  Then I sanded, filled, sanded some more and painted with a glossy black paint.  It still has some areas that have small flaws, but I am probably the only one who notices now.  But, it is sturdy and I have plans for this to one day become a baby changing table once I inherit a piece for the dining room from my grandmother.  Here it was before:
