Marriage of the Mismatched Finishes...

Hello all...I found this beautiful buffet and thought....maybe just maybe I could pair it with
this mirrored back pine hutch...
so a little celery paint later...
yes, even over the mirrored back.

I think they were meant for each other....

Add some distressing and chocolaty glaze...
move them into their new home.

Slap a big ol' flat screen TV on the hutch...
stand back and admire what a handsome
couple they truly are.
Yes, a match made in heaven
(or my garage).
I think they will be very happy
in the years to come.
They are already enjoying their
first Christmas together.

Seriously though, hubby has wanted a
flat screen for a long time.
I was fighting him though, because
they just seem a bit to contemporary
for my taste. So, I decided if I could find the right piece
of furniture for it I would consider it.
I think I found it!
It's also great to keep all of the DVD's
Wii games and such stored and organized.
We are all happy now,
except when I want to watch HGTV and
he wants to watch football.
It's our new favorite hang out!
Merry Christmas
to our family and us!
Blessings~
Leigh Ann

  7. Hi there! :) I wanted to get back with you to let you know where my Mom bought the glitter village she put in her tree. Grandin Road sold them in their catalog last year...but I'm not sure if they are still sold there??

    Anyways, I'm so happy I came to your blog. I am blown away by your talent! And this is perfect, SO beautiful. What a big task to accomplish...I can't even imagine. Love the color too.

  8. Oh my goodness! I love this. I don't personally own a new flatscreen. We bought our huge tv right at the onset of flat screen mania (and it won't die) But! my daughter has one and is looking for something to satisfy the hubby/man thing and satisfy her need to be pretty thing... She'll love this too!

    Thanks for posting it. I found you at MMS--fff

  10. What a fantastic idea, you pulled it all together brilliantly! The colour is gorgeous too. Well done :)

    I, too have painted over mirrors in the back of cabinets before, it feels kind of rebellious but really makes a great change to the piece!

  14. What a great alternative to hanging a TV on the wall. I find they are always an eye sore but you really made a home for the tv. Very practical and beautifully executed.
