Rustic farmhouse buffet - my first project!

This was a modified version of the Rustic Farmhouse console table. I didn’t want something quite as long, but half the length would’ve been too short. Wanted to use it as a buffet. So I made it a little longer than half the original design and it came out perfect. If I were to do it all over again, I would make the top an inch longer for more of an overhang.

Dark walnut stain on top and the rest was painted with Magnolia paint in Shiplap. Finished with clear satin protective finish. Absolutely loved how it turned out and can’t wait to start on my next project!
