My sister ahem, client sent me pics of the improved color of her dining room buffets.
Remember, these are Ikea's Edland two-drawer chests - which have good lines to begin with.
But, nothing much beats a few coats of high-glossy plus extra lacquer for funsies. Oh, yeah, and some stepped-up hardware. **The paint color is "Daring" by Sherwin Williams - and it was professionally sprayed. We found the Indian hardware at a local antique co-op.** 
The first go-round was a little pinky-peach....
While our goal was for true coral. Check it with the chevron kilim and fuchsia velvet. Looks amazing against the wallcolor, too. BTW, the walls are painted in Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray.
Some finishing touches are in store, but I'd say this room is well on her way to outright fabulousness.

Those turned out gorgeous!!!! I want to see more of her spaces.
I love these Ikea Edland pieces, but not loving their original finish. This glossy paint and WOW color sure make me want to run up to Ikea and purchase! Would you mind sharing the "how to" for the paint?
Hi. Looks Fab! Do you mind sharing the paint color?
Yes, have you shared that coral color yet? Because it's perfect. Love it with the fuschia and black/white chevron. So fun! Brilliant decorating!
Wow those are beautiful! I have loved those Edland pieces but did not love the finish and hardware. This is a perfect look! I can't get enough high gloss and the gold hardware is beautiful. Would you mind sharing what that color is and where the hardware is from. I would also love to know what lacquer she uses. I just got a benjamin moore stays clear but have not tried it yet but I am always looking for a great lacquer. I would love to see more from her house!
I can't believe it's not butter, I mean, IKEA!!!!! These are gorgeous and the paint looks professional! I'm loving it!
They are fabulous and I love the color. Hugs, Marty

so beautiful.....
Would you mind sharing your wall/trim color with me?
so inspired....
Oh my heavens, just gorgeous! What color are her dining room walls? I love that gray...thanks!
I LOVE it! I paint everything and what a difference ... the color is fabulous ... and in answer to another comment, I'm not sure what lacquer you used, but my new favorite is "Eurothane Varnish" by Fine European Paints. It is $65.00 a quart ... pricey ... but fabulous.
What I also love is the mirror image, these two pieces together with matching lamps and mirrors! Thank you for sharing!!
I commented yesterday, but forgot to leave my email, kimmacumber@comcast.net. Love your blog ...I have just started my own and having fun navigating this blog world! Would love for you to check in ....

I just found your blog and love that dining room. Our shops theme for Oct. is Orange you glad it's Autumn, so I'm drawn to anything orange right now. I never would have thought to use it with grey but it's beautiful.

I'm totally loving this dining room! I've always wanted to get pieces professionally sprayed. How did you find your company? Do you have any recommended vendors? Love your blog! http://www.fallsdesign.blogspot.com
Love the colors. Gorgeous!
Gorgeous! I love the color, they look like a custom piece.

I.LOVE.IT!!And will now have a different way at looking at IKEA's furniture selections next time I visit. I've been inspired!
what sort of place do you go to get it professionally sprayed?
@vb
Most professional painters have a power-sprayer they can use for furniture.
In a pinch, you could approach a body shop, too.
wow I love it, and actually I really like the pink too, would look lovely in a little girl's room!
amazing.......found you on pinterest :))) love it
Do you happen to know if they sanded or prepped the pieces before spraying? I love this exact piece but have been reading that IKEA furniture doesn't hold onto paint well. Makes me nervous investing in a piece if it will scratch off.
I featured this dining room yesterday on my blog Finding Fabulous...I just love it!! It's such a great idea to find an affordable side board or two! And then spray them in glossy paint! Love how it's traditional yet totally chic and updated!
