after a long battle in my head i have decided that the buffet will be painted farrow and ball's hague blue:
it is the perfect shade of sapphire-ish-peacock-y-mysterious blue. it will get 2 coats of oil based high gloss love. below is someone's bureau painted in hague blue. you love it too don't you?
here is a room painted in hague blue. it is almost black and most likely would read black at night. i love that aspect of it.
gran thinks it's a kick ass choice!
so now i must find the perfect pulls and hardware bits....sigh. i have no idea what i want.
