Note the fun detail of file drawer hardware on this piece. It's perfect for an office, a bedroom, hallway, kitchen or as a dining room buffet.

This credenza has been repurposed to serve as a bar, and the original spirit of the smorgasboard lives on!

Always add a couple lemons to any bar setting. Not only do they brighten your drinks, they keep away scurvy! Arr.

A seaside painting, outdoor sconces and a pastel paint job lend a relaxed beachy feeling to this home. More: Craft Modern A Colorful Cottage in the Hamptons Design Lessons from a Nantucket Inn

Wine glasses. Setting wine glasses in a grouping on your banquette not only adds a stylish element, but it helps you cut down on party prep. With the wine glasses permanently set out, you're always ready to go.

Milk glass also goes well with clear glass. Mixing the materials in this tablescape shows a restraint that feels like an update on traditional décor.

We've seen a lot of pieces turned into bars and buffets of all sizes, from a nightstand topped with a tray to this wonderful office cabinet. A fresh coat of paint and refreshing or replacing hardware can give a piece an entirely new look. See the rest of this clever blogger's home

With a fresh coat of paint, this credenza was transformed into a bar/buffet, depending what's on top. The generous drawers are perfect for storing linens, silverware and candles. See more furniture repurposing projects in this creative home

Take it a step further by refinishing a piece of furniture in a pastel. This vintage dresser maintains its classic feel while appearing fresh in a light shade of green. When paired with the ocean artwork, the entire vignette is the image of aesthetic serenity.

Emphasize a focal point. Increase the appearance of your artwork by installing a pair of candle sconces on either side. Choose a finish that complements the art. To keep the candles from stealing the spotlight in cases like this, choose white or off white.

It's the painting that does it. Don't you agree? I would maybe add a single rope knot or glass float to complete the tableau.

A solid chest of drawers found on Craigslist, curbside or at a thrift store can be transformed into a stunning dining room buffet with a few coats of paint and new hardware.

This is the configuration I was thinking of. Only we would have a mirror instead of a painting. Although, we could use the mirror over the sofa and put a painting over the buffet.
