French Script Buffet

So, I tend to like large pieces of furniture. My hubby, not so much, but he has been a good sport about it. I fell in love with this piece, especially with the back that has 2 rows of grooves for plates. However, in all it's Belgian loveliness, I was ready to get this baby painted.
I have seen several black buffets, so I thought I would try that first, but I didn't like it at all! I thought it would then make a nice undercoat for the top color, so I gave that a whirl.

So after lots of painting, hours of distressings and even more hours of waxing, here she is in all her French script glory. I put French script on each door panel as well as the sides. I usualy strip the tops of my buffets and hutches, but I wanted to try something different, so I painted it in the same color gray that I did the script in.

My lighting was not so great, but you can see the contrast of the gray top to the off white bottom.

Ready for purchase, however I don't plan on listing it on my regular sale sight, I am going to keep it for my May Vintage Market, unless is sells before then.
