It also came with one side missing trim on the bottom and try as I might, I couldn't find a similar piece. So my father-in-law went to a local lumber yard and found something that would work well. He cut the pieces so that I could attach them with brads and glue.
I added 9" legs from Home Depot. Strangely enough, this piece already had the leg plate attachments, so at one point, this had legs original legs.
I know I do two toned pieces a lot. Here's why: when there is actually something good left on these old pieces that have been mistreated, I want to preserve what is there. There are not many companies that make furniture like they use to.
So here's my latest two-tone piece:
Now it comes up to my waist...perfect buffet height!

Good job and good choice on the legs, looks like they were meant to be there.
I love the two-tone, as well. This looks great!

Just beautiful! Was it milk paint you used? Lovely colour!
That is a lovely colour and a great makeover.

I really like your two-toned pieces. In particular, when you just restore the top. I also always like how you distress. No leopard skin patches on your work! I think you do a beautiful job. This is a really gorgeous piece -- then and now.
can't imagine this beauty without legs lol, it looks great!! :)
