The buffet can be your friend or foe. It all depends on how you look at it.

This Brastilo console ($1259) brings together a hand-finished solid pine frame mixed with cast-brass handles and aluminum hardware to create a strikingly beautiful effect. With two sliding doors and two shelves, it makes a great addition to a dining room when used as a buffet.
