I would like to thank HomeRight for sending free product to help us with getting our buffet table painted for the One Room Challenge. All opinions are 100% my own.
It’s week 4 of the One Room Challenge. Did you hear that? Week Four. I’m slightly panicked right now. This buffet table project has been a massive undertaking.
In case you’re just joining in, here’s the scoop. Four weeks ago I joined the One Room Challenge, hosted by Calling It Home. Basically, I have to get to do a complete room transformation over the course of 6 weeks. My original plan was to buy a buffet table. But why buy a buffet table when you can make one? (I’ll tell you why… It’s easier and takes a lot less time 🙂 ) But, here we are, making a buffet table. A massive, hope-we-don’t-pass-out-when-we-carry-this-inside buffet table… but, you guys, it’s so gorgeous!
Last week it looked like this.
Then we stained the top, and I that’s where we left off.
This past Friday, a couple packages arrived on my doorstep, and they will forever change the way I paint. HomeRight was gracious enough to send us a large spray shelter.
… and the Finish Max® Fine Finish Sprayer!
Let’s start with the shelter. Setting this up was a bit challenging for me, so of course I do what everyone does and Google “How to set up a HomeRight Paint Shelter”, and I’d like to sincerely thank Wendi from H2O Bungalow for making this YouTube video! This thing is the most amazing thing ever! It’s huge. We were able to get the entire 8 feet of table into it so we could spray it down. This tent protects my beautifully clean and organized well-lived-in, totally disorganized, garage.
Once my husband got the table into the tent, we got our paint prepped for spraying. He seriously loved the sprayer so much, I never got a turn 🙂
All I keep thinking about is what I’m gonna spray next: Kitchen cabinets? Dining Room Table? Garage door? (The paint is peeling off our garage door. Go figure.)
And here’s where we’re at today.
After holding up paint samples in different lighting we decided to go with Outerspace by Sherwin Williams (but had it color matched in Behr). I absolutely love it!
We’ve got one door done and one to go, and I’m heading out to get the items needed for our DIY barn door hardware now.
Have a wonderful day and thanks again, to HomeRight, for providing such amazing tools for us to use!

It’s looking awesome! I need one of these sprayers!!
They are so amazing! Christmas list.
I have the same sprayer and I love it SOOOO much! Makes life a heck of a lot easier doesn’t it?! lol. The piece looks beautiful in that grey 🙂
Thanks Lindi! And I totally agree. I’m absolutely in love with the sprayer.
Yes! That spray paint shelter is the BEST, isn’t it! I don’t know how I DIY’ed so long without one!
I know! HomeRight’s products are amazing! I keep thinking about how much easier things would have been if I’d had these tools for all the projects up to this point. They made such a huge difference.
I love your color choices for your wine bar! Isn’t the sprayer and spray shelter so amazing!? It makes me want to paint everything!
Thanks Ruthie! And now we are seriously considering doing our kitchen cabinets. I know how fun it was for you, so if you ever want to stop over to help, feel free 🙂 We can stick the new baby down for a nap and Lucy can help 🙂 (No worries. I’m totally kidding…)
Yup, totally agree, I was nervous about trying a paint sprayer, but I have already done 5 pieces of furniture with mine!
I know! I have a list of all the things I want to paint now that I have the sprayer. Projects are SO much easier!
Looove the color of the buffet! I need to get one of those sprayers….
The sprayer just might be the best thing ever. I love that you get such great coverage with such little effort. Totally worth it!
Those sprayers are amazing huh! you can paint half the time. I just got a Wagner One a few days ago! We can having painting races. So far it looks so good!

Ha! Love the painting races idea. Aren’t those sprayers awesome!? Make painting so much easier, and a little paint goes a long way.
Erin this is absolutely beautiful! And so glad you got your sprayer. They are amazing!
I look forward to seeing next weeks progress.
XO- Jenny
Thanks Jenny! I agree, those paint sprayers are the best! How have I gone so long without one?
Erin, I do love that color you chose and your husband really did a fantastic job on building it. You both must be so pleased with how it’s coming together. Can’t wait to see the next installment. Have fun this week.
Hugs, Lynn
Thanks Lynn. I am so proud of my husband for taking on such a massive project… on a deadline. We finally brought it in last night, so I’m excited to move forward with some other stuff for this space.
Oh wow!!! It’s gorgeous Erin! Aren’t those sprayers incredible?!
Thanks Kristi! … and, YES, I am loving the spray painter. So happy to have it. It made things so much easier, and I love that there aren’t any brush strokes (I know some people like the look of brush strokes, but I happen to like the smooth finish).
This is the 2nd post about sprayers that I’ve read today and now I really want one! The table is beautiful!
Thanks Emy. I am seriously in love with the paint sprayer. I’m a lover of spray paint, and now it’s like I can spray paint in any color I want. Super easy to use.
it’s going to be gorgeous! I just know it from where it is now.
Thank Brenda! It’s been quite a project. I feel like we just keep waiting for it to be done so we can move forward with the rest of the space 🙂
