Relooking project #2


Functional and funky was what I had in store for this 1950's buffet. It's destination: the summer kitchen. It would be used to store plates, glasses and silverware we use when we eat outside. Therefore I went for something fresh and retro. Here's how I relooked it:
  1. removed doors and drawers
  2. cleaned and sanded all surfaces
  3. removed zinc trim and handles and painted them with zinc colored spray paint
  4. removed damaged film from glass doors and replaced it with an electro-static semi-transparent film
  5. applied "violet fig" paint with the help of my low-pressure paint sprayer
  6. cut PVC flooring to size and glued it down, then replaced the zinc trim
  7. line drawers and shelves with silver shelf paper
Total cost = 103€

Because of its location, I could have really gotten carried away. However, I stuck to something simple and colorful that evokes the tastes of everyone in the family.
