This is what I did with mine, sorry the picture isn't the greatest quality, but you get the general idea.<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/94091419@N00/5640566894/in/photostream<br /><br />RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-33751847082135821282011-04-08T08:41:29.391-05:002011-04-08T08:41:29.391-05:00Mr. Modtomic - Yea I was thinking about painting t...Mr. Modtomic - Yea I was thinking about painting the body white but now that you mention orange that might also look really good. I was also thinking about painting the drawers and the legs a different color but I might just put some touch up stain on the missing chips on the drawers to keep them looking natural wood. Thanks for the info! I'm sure I will figure all of these names out eventually :) I thought I did good too but my dad thinks otherwise lol.<br /><br />Krazy4Mod - Yea I think it will amazing after I paint it! I can keep the best of both worlds if I just paint the body and leave the drawers the way they are like Mr. Modtomic suggested.<br /><br />1950sAtomicRanch - Yea this think is pretty junky. I would never paint anything really valuable like my Milo Baughman chair. This dresser is pretty beat up so I think it would be best to paint it.<br /><br />MovieMag46 - I know! I'm excited to be able to sand this thing down and paint it up! It will be great to not have any guilt painting this thing!Lost World of Brian (Mr.Fizzle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12221159659747105327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-26000472193819631702011-04-08T08:25:48.262-05:002011-04-08T08:25:48.262-05:00That is the nice thing about a piece that is not p...That is the nice thing about a piece that is not pristine....you have the freedom to either restore it or take it in a whole new direction...without guilt :-)moviemag46https://www.blogger.com/profile/03937606610082430100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-36457400260177642082011-04-08T04:56:47.238-05:002011-04-08T04:56:47.238-05:00I never paint anything unless it's complete ju...I never paint anything unless it's complete junk. Like the late 60's early 70's Colonial Revival crappy small dresser I got about 20 years ago which was an ugly dark stained wood, poor construction, and did not match anything I had, nor did it look "mid-century". That I painted recently (already showed pics on my blog), and the shelves I had bought about 10 years ago. <br /><br />Otherwise I wouldn't touch it with paint, but that's just me. =)1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-30216846691606815622011-04-07T21:32:19.132-05:002011-04-07T21:32:19.132-05:00Very nice!

It'll look great! Check out <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/category/before-and-after" rel="nofollow">Design*Sponge</a> for ideas. BTW, it's not a buffet but a nine drawer chest of drawers. You'll figure out all these names eventually. There is probably a more specific name for this type of dresser too, but I don't know it off hand. You did good! Look on the Chicago craigslist for what these go for up there!Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-31290587951087327602011-04-07T16:28:38.336-05:002011-04-07T16:28:38.336-05:00Yea I'm leaning more towards painting it...

I think it would look great painted with a glossy coat.Lost World of Brian (Mr.Fizzle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12221159659747105327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070666061001495892.post-37014981749222426142011-04-07T16:26:48.714-05:002011-04-07T16:26:48.714-05:00A lot of potential.

I'd probably paint it but then I have no patience and would want to see it done up as soon as possible.DearHelenHartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191525904664350294noreply@blogger.com
