I came across this shot on houseandhome.com recently and remembered how much I loved it! It was from a story on fashion-inspired rooms crafted by my friends Cameron MacNeil and Stacey Smithers of House & Home Magazine.
I thought this was a good example of an upcycled buffet or sideboard that would make for the perfect media unit or dining room storage in any home. Just a few coats of paint in a fashion-forward colour and you’re off! Cameron and Stacey went the extra mile and had a piece of marble cut for the top which takes this project over the top!
After looking around I found lots of wonderful examples of painted sideboards. Pick the colour and style that suits you best! So check it out and give it a try!

What colour would you say the one with the pussy willows and mixmaster is?
I find it hard to tell. It is the one I prefer.

I love them all. I have a dark wood sideboard. I bought it new a couple of years ago but, the dark wood is getting to me. Would I be crazy to paint it?
Love it!
Hi Michael, In your opinion, what would you use as paintcolor for a sideboard that will not become outdated after a season or two– black, grey or white?
I am currectly debating between those colors, and albeit part of me wants to use a mix of bluish grey color or the aqua which are popular this season, I do not have the energy nor time to repaint this furniture again. So I am thinking longterm.
Thanks, I appreciate your website. nice ideas.

Hi Ellie, I don’t think you’ll get tired of either black, white or grey but the aqua, maybe. I’d say between black or white you’re pretty safe with either – just depends on if you want drama and sophistication or fresh and cheerful, more beachy. I’m sure you’ll make the right choice for you!
