Just curious, you said the price was right, how much did you pay for this before the make over?

I’m one of those wood purists, and I’m appalled… so appalled. (it was a good idea to chop off the legs though)

Chelsea,

I used Behr Premium Plus Ultra (it's their paint and primer and one).

I did sand first, but just enough to rough up the finish and give the paint something to "grip".

If it's bare wood, I probably wouldn't sand...I'm no expert, though.

It looks yellow, not orange, but it is fabulous. What kind of paint did you use and/or did you have to sand it first?

I have a piece I want to do that to and it has no finish on it. Should I still sand it first?

wow, that looks fantastic! Somehow the shorter legs look so much more in proportion than the long spindly ones.
And the color is adorable!

Get out!! How did I miss this post?? The orange is so fantastic, and from the girl who painted her piano red to the girl who painted her piano blue, I say very nicely done!!

I love it! My husband is a wood purist and it bugs me! I would paint everything if he would let me

I love it too. I am married to a wood guy and I have a few things I want to paint that he has vetoed. I wish he wouldn't be like that.

Cutting the legs down was inspired! Now it looks perfect there. Can't wait to see it with a little glaze.

I LOVE the buffet and your bold color choice! I could never do it for fear I would regret it, but this really is inspiring!

The color is Toasted Pumpkin. It's a Valspar color from Lowe's. I used one of those little foam rollers and a foam brush. It really wasn't that bad on account of most of it being large flat surfaces!
