TA-DA!

the few of you who actually read what i write know that i'm emBOLDening my pieces with coluh whether it's what buyers are buyin' or not.  mostly not... but, still no white, no way.

nuh-uh.

but that post was  a f t e r  i had finished the buffet formerly known as "the treasure chest" or "brown blob barfy blah" or "the piethe that theriouthly tried to dethtroy my thumb".  so this guy isn't exactly blazing bright in coluh so i embellished him with some kuh-noberiffic BAM!

you'll notice that the "acKnowledge the K kampaign" is still moving right along.  the new president is talking to the wall street protestors to see if we can kill two birds with one stone.

yes, that's a lot of back linking for those of you that need to catch up on 'da haps here but...you snooze, you lose...right, gwendolyn?  just go ahead back through  A L L  of those fine posts and we'll wait right the heck here for you.

go on....hurry off with you!  shoo, now!

ho-dee-do-dee-hum-dee-dum...isn't this just dandy and fun? (i haven't poeted in awhile, have i?)

back already?  oh, i see.  you're a "skimmer".

no, really, it's okay.  my babbles and rambles are not worth your time anyway.  no hurt feelings. not a one.  (sniff.  wipe.)


movin' on....let's briefly review in case the... um, skimmers did not fully absorb blob's history.

here's the "before" photo of the freebie blob of a buffet that my mom, the snarly pooch and i plucked up in a shady-upholstered-furniture-on-da-porch-'hood 'round philadelphia:

...after two coats of citracrap....

...after two JUGS of citracrap....

yes, that woodgrain is GORGEOUS but not nearly the stainable kind of gorgeous.  too pocky and pokey for a clean look so out came the paint.

excuse me?  YOU would've made it work?  really?

see?  see those filled spots?  see what i mean?  oh, yeah?  we'll just see about that when you happen to find your own FREE mahogany buffet -- that devours TWO jugs of stripper-- and shoot for the stain.

yuh-huh.

for those of you still reading....thanks.  we'll mosey on now.

i hate predictability as much as the next blogger but...it was ASCP for me.  again.  it's just so darn easy to layer and...

i'll shut up now and just show you the pics 'cuz you're probably gonna just scroll down to them anyway, miss "i've-got-cookies-to-bake-and-gifts-to-wrap".

no, it's not really a blue kinda blue.  the sun was setting and i still just twist and twirl the knobs on my camera with the hope that magic would take over.

i'm old enough to know better.

the color is a blend of a blend of a blend of paris gray, old white, aubusson blue and emperor's silk.

in an effort to maintain my status as "predictable", the knobs were on sale for $2.95 at anthropologie.  if you don't already hate me, read this post.  

it--accidentally--was not a bold enough color for me so i blew a bit of bold into it with the orangey-red-hot-momma-knobs.  

mr. macguyver is not on board with this flava-flave of bold spiciness.  

yet.

yepperoo, this buffet is a keeper so the  kuh-nobsploration is on.  can i find something we both love for $2.95 or less per knob???

well, hobble on over here tomorrow for a peek at the tame version of the not-quite-blue-buffet.  prepare to share your opinion...though i likely won't listen ....

now get on back to that baking...

(lucky YOU...ta-da!: part deux is only a click away....)

HEY, Y O U!!!  YES, Y O U!!
