So I moved into my house a year ago and go a cute dining room table, but always wanted a buffet or sideboard type of thing for the dining room. However after finding one that matched the table I knew my budget wasn't going to let me have it so I have been on the search for one for cheap. Craigslist every morning and every night and nothing was coming up. I wanted something reasonable in price, but where I felt okay redoing the thing to my specifications.
FINALLY I typed in sideboard on there and yay one came up for $50. So I took my money I had saved and we drove to their house. They had furniture everywhere. I really wanted to take a picture, but I didn't want to seem weird taking pictures of strangers house lol.
He showed me the piece and it was in rough shape, but you could see the potential it had. O I was so excited. I was able to purchase it for $40 instead and we were on our way.
A quick stop at Lowes for some furniture stain, sand paper and wood filler. I sanded down the top and put one coat of stain on it and it already looks like a brand new exciting piece. Here are pictures of the before sideboard. I will post pics of the process so you can see. Hooray for my 1st piece of furniture I am refinishing:) Now I need to find some knobs!
