From Dumpster to Wine Buffet

This piece was headed to the dumpster when I rescued it, the top drawer was chipped and broken.

The drawers have such beautiful curves, so I removed the broken one and the 2nd one and reused it elsewhere. A beautiful coat of teal paint, changed out the knobs for eclectic vintage glass knobs and added wine glass holders, finished it  by wrapping stripped fabric around thin plywood for the backdrop.

It is perfect for storing my summer entertaining dishes in the sunroom.

Estimated Cost
Paint $30.00 for gallon, you don't need a gallon I used on other projects
Vintage glass knobs $20.00
Fabric $8.00
Wine Glass holder $10.00
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Sanded down old varnish and stain. Washed completely to prep for primer paint, then 2 coats of the teal paint. Let dry for a week then added the plywood fabric wrapped sides and back, last I added the wine glass holders to the underside of the top.
