| These are pictures of the buffet Granniecat painted in the winter of 2007-8. |
This is the buffet. It had an "Early American" finish on it. (I had done this years ago.) 
|
First I had to sand the varnish off. I didn't worry too much about the stain. (The angle of this is weird, but it is no matter what way
I turn the photo.)
|
The very first coat was a pink primer!
|
Here it is with the first coat of red.
|
This is a cardboard with Granniecat's design on it.
|
This is her sketch whitecoated onto the left end of the buffet. Notice, too, that the red has been toned down with an antique rub.
Without this it doesn't match my fabric.
|
Here it is with some, but not all, the color.
|
This is the final left end.

This is the right end.

These are the flowers on the top, except they are pink, not gold!! (This has to be the lighting in the room. I couldn't adjust it to
come out right.)
