The Spring Buffet was originally very banged about and in pretty bad condition. Here is a quick recap on the “before” of this piece from Favorite Find Monday.
I started out by painting the buffet in General Finishes Antique White. After standing back and looking at it, I began to question the finished look. Was it too shabby chic for a french piece? Was I yearning for more color as the spring season takes hold? I have no idea but out came the paint brush once again. I find that either a piece sings to me or it doesn’t and if it doesn’t, I will never be happy with it until I make it work.
This time I went for a french blue. I used a Behr latex paint that I already had from painting my daughter’s room. It went right over the milk paint with no issues. I then added a wash of Annie Sloan’s Coco and a dark wax. I must say, after distressing back it looks ooh la la gorgeous! 
The white peeks through and the wash tones down the blue to a lovely, muted color. 
Love that hardware!
Sophie is feeling much better today – I actually have all three in school – wow! Off to an estate sale to see if I can find another Favorite Find for next week!

Love it! You did a fabulous job. I get tired of white too sometimes and have to go with color. I did a dresser in a very similar color this week with a wash too.
Have a good rest of the week.

This is a beautiful piece Suzanne! Oh… and I saw your General Finishes Tutorial on FB the other day…Great Job!!!
such a sweet piece!
Pretty! I am not an “all white/neutral/beige/grey” kind of girl, so this color really appeals to me.
Looks great Suzanne. Almost like a patina. I would love for you to share on my Chic By You Link Party @ http://chicbytab.blogspot.ca/2014/04/chic-by-you-wednesday-link-party-6.html. Hope to see you there!
What a beautiful transformation Suzanne !!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the hardware and the detailing…the white from behind the french blue…brilliant with the aging!
Suzanne your Spring Buffet caught my eye over at the Inspire Me Tuesday Party. I love the color and the light distressing you gave this very pretty piece of furniture.
Very pretty!!! Love the color!
