Recycled furniture - chic on the cheap II

Here's an old bedroom dresser that I repurposed as a dining room buffet. The original piece cost $35 at Goodwill. I painted it, changed the hardware and had a custom glass top added. I added the monogram letter "P" in the center to cover up a really ugly engraved heart design.





The drawers hold all of my nice dishes and serving pieces, and when I entertain I can put all of my appetizers and drinks out on top of the "buffet."
And yes - the plates on the wall were also collected from Goodwill for about $1 each.

    Stay away from my Goodwill!!! ;-) Just kidding! Gotta ask, where did you order the custom glass? I just refinished my desk but wanna add a glass top to protect the lacquer (it's white). Love the concept of your blog-- added it to my blogroll.

    Got the glass top at Chippewa Glass & Mirror at 7430 Gravois Ave. I shopped around and they had a good price and the service was excellent. Definitely worth the $$!
