Upcycled Pine timber buffet & hutch

Upcycled Pine timber buffet & hutch

This is my completed upcycling project where I transformed an old Pine Timber Buffet & Hutch into a stylish Coastal meets Hampton cabinet. I wanted a fresh look without the price tag of new furniture.  The project involved cleaning and scuff sanding the wood, replacing the particle board with VJ panels from Bunnings, and applying a primer. I then applied two coats of chalk paint in 'white linen' and sealed the finish with a wax. To complete the transformation, I added black handles from Bunnings, giving the piece a fresh, modern look while maintaining its classic charm.
