This would have sat in a woman's kitchen during the '30s. Iveta fell in love with it. It need a few repairs and to be stripped down, but the buffet had lots of character and great bones! She wanted it Grey hues all over with contrasting black and CRACKLED up the wahzoo! So, it was painted with vanGogh "Revenge" all over and then a combination of vanGogh "Chivalry" and Annie Sloan "Paris Grey". The crackle medium was applied everywhere! The hardware was hammered off (I think it had been there since the '30s!) I put on beautiful bubble glass knobs that a local craftswoman makes, replaced the glass on the front (which we managed to knock into and break on the way UP her stairs upon delivery! (Another one was picked up to replace it!) Iveta & her kids loved it.
