The Pemberley Inspired Buffet



As I gathered the key pieces for my Jane Austen themed window display, I found inspiration for their makeovers in her novels, and the movies that were based on them.  Some of the pieces were simple or had more of a rustic, country cottage feel.





These are the pieces that I imagined might have come from the Bennets' charming country home. 



This buffet however, I felt was a little more regal...




 and therefore could have graced one of the stately rooms in Pemberley, the home of Mr. Darcy.


Of course this long, lovely buffet would be gorgeous in a formal dining room.


However, it would be just as sweet in a bedroom, a hallway, bathroom or a family room...


My husband imagined a flat screen TV sitting on top.



Wherever this piece ends up, it is sure to make a statement.




Once again, I chose my favorite color combination of Old White and Paris Grey. 


Refined without being too stuffy...


Neutral, but not without character...

A little different than it's original flame mahogany veneered former life.


I think it makes for a lovely feature in the Jane Austen window.


Thank you so much for your sweet visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
