Annie Reed ~ Furniture Refinishing & Design

Some furniture doesn’t need to shout to make a statement.

This Thomasville buffet started out tired, scratched, and ready for a second chance. Instead of reaching for a standard black or green, I mixed my own custom color using @legacypaintsco Midnight Reserve and Night Garden until it landed somewhere in between, a rich, moody charcoal with subtle olive undertones that changes beautifully with the light.

The top was finished in @generalfinishes Java, adding just enough warmth to complement the restored brass hardware and bring the whole piece together.

It’s always amazing how the right combination of color, wood, and original details can completely transform a piece without taking away its character.

Would you have kept it wood… or are you loving this dramatic makeover?
