I found this little gem and its larger buffet companion (which turned into a vanity) at an estate sale several years ago at a great price. Both pieces were solid construction, with beautiful detail and perfect for a powder glaze finish!
I was a little hesitant to paint this piece initially, however, it has some damage on top.
I used a powder glaze technique. In simple steps, this means I cleaned and primed the piece. I applied two coats of Sherwin Williams Snowbound ProClassic using my Home Right paint sprayer. I love the finish with a paint sprayer. After the paint set, I applied black powered glaze. (This picture only shows the top from when I had to do a touch up.)
After this dried, I buffed off the glaze with a fine Mylar pad. (The powder gets everywhere.) I applied three coats of polycrylic with the paint sprayer. I spray painted the hardware black. Lots of steps, but real happy with how it turned out.
