Auction Find

I have been on the look out for the perfect buffet table for my dining room. 
I've been looking on craigs list and in the paper, and I've been having my dad look at auctions and antique malls. 

He stumbled across this beauty at an auction and purchased it for only $60! 

I want to change out the hardware as well as give it a fresh coat of paint. 
I am thinking of painting it either a bright yellow or red!

I've heard great things about Annie Sloan chalk paint. There is no need to sand the piece of furniture and usually only one coat is needed!
  
 I'm also thinking about removing the bottom middle door all together. Maybe get two cute baskets that will be seen. I don't know yet. Ill need to play around with it. 

I LOVE the middle doors on the red buffet though. It looks like it's one of those decorative ceiling tiles painted and added to the wood.
I may try and find something similar! 

Stay tuned!
