The buffet compliments the raised panel wainscotting on the remaining walls and the warmth of the dark rich wood of the dining room set. The inside of all the cabinets are finished in a bronze metallic paint to further accentuate the elegant gold/bronze ceiling.

Built as 5 pieces and assembled on site. The sections are set at staggered depths to create interest. Notice how the staggered cabinets telegraph to the crown molding creating many beautiful outside corners.
Wallpaper applied to the carcass of the cabinets accents the depths and breaks up a monotonous wall of white.
A Rubber Wood arch with a key highlights the center section creating a focal point.
Lighting behind the glass doors and above the arch give opportunities to set many moods.
