A New Buffet

Versatility is the Name of the Game


When we moved here, a little more than a year ago, we bought several new pieces of furniture.  One of my favorites I found at a furniture consignment store and re-painted it to suit my needs.  I used it in our Living Room to hold the TV.  You can take a tour of my Living Room here.  



This is what it looked like last winter.


A few weeks ago, I got an awesome deal on a TV armoire.  You can see it and the inspiration I found to re-do it here.  I will be showing the TV armoire in it's new home sometime this week, you won't want to miss it.


So, what did I do with the piece above?  Versatility is the name of the game.  I love pieces that can be used in different ways and in different parts of the home.


Now it's in the Dinning room being used as a Buffet, and it's all dressed up for Fall.

























I love how it looks in it's new home!

    1. Hey Laurie, thanks for visiting! I know what you mean, that feeling of getting something new without spending a dime is a great feeling. I am very grateful to have an awesome Goodwill store close by that allows me to get great deals, it give me the opportunity to move things around more often.

    1. Thanks, I really am proud to have this great piece. It's funny how you bring something home for one purpose and then realize it looks better and functions better somewhere else.

    1. Thanks! I like it a lot better in the Dining Room. We have tall ceilings and there is nothing in the Living Room with any height, so the new Armoire looks much better in the Living Room. You will have to come for a visit to check it out (ha ha).
