Indoors out again...

I'm wrapping up our backyard makeover.  I mentioned in a previous post that I'm trying to bring the indoors out and make it more like an outdoor living space.  So, I found this great dresser at Goodwill.  I was drawn to the chunky drawer pulls.  I knew it would make a perfect buffet table for our backyard.  Keep in mind, I like the weathered, worn look.  I know with it being outdoors in the elements it will get a little more weathered and I'm ok with that.  I did seal it with several coats of polyurethane.  Another thing you may want to consider if you do this is to buy a piece that is solid wood, no veneer.  The veneer will warp and look awful in no time.   

Here is the before....



and AFTER!  I used a teal-blue paint, did some distressing, and then went over the whole thing with a dark stain to give it that aged look.
