Honestly, the title of this post is a little misleading, because Coffee Bean Buffet really doesn’t do it justice! I think, Elegant and Sophisticated Buffet is a more fitting title!

This is a commission piece, and my client chose the Dixie Belle chalk mineral paint color, Coffee Bean for the finish. This was my first time working with that color. It is beautiful. It is a deep color, almost black with a warm base of brown.

The buffet is actually not that old. It had a standard, factory finish on it. Below is a video that shows the before and after of the buffet.

My client wanted the buffet to be slightly distressed. However, when I tried to rub back to distress, the only thing that came through was white, because it was just rubbing off that factory finish to a white base.

The drawer pulls are from World Market. I just found out that they no longer are carrying drawer hardware, which is such a shame!
