Little Stately Chic Bedside Table

Refinished antique side table. I picked this little guy up and knew a client that was looking for a pair of bedside tables.  I had finished a similar one in white and went ahead and gambled to make this a set.  Nevertheless, people will surprise you and keep you on your toes.  She ended up not going with the pair, so I switched out the knobs to make this little one distinct.  I favor the stately element of that brass to balance the delicate that the rest of her struts!

This had to be part of an old vanity dating back to the early to mid-1900's. Lovely and delicate legs and the sweetest of trim on the bottom and detail on the drawers. She comes with three drawers to store your nighttime necessities. This was sanded down and painted a grey/white wash and distressed to give her a well loved and worn coat as you can see the wood wear through. Unique knobs from Anthropologie with brass/gold undertones that give her a stately class.


Dimensions:
14 inches wide
18 inches deep
30 inches tall.

Bebe Changing Station






















This was a custom piece done for some friends expecting twins in the next 2 months! It will be the changing table once the additional little padding accompanies the top! I believe this was an old family dresser and I can assuredly tell you she has seen layers upon layers of different season all with a different little coat.  She required an extra dose of patience and an additional tub of stripper.  But I quite love that simple grey milk paint wash and the subtle details that keep it still somewhat masculine for those 2 new beaus! Welcome to the world little ones.  Change is inevitable, embrace it as it comes ;)

Shabby Chic Antique Bedside Table

She comes with two drawers to store your nighttime necessities. This was sanded down and painted a two toned white and warm grey combination and distressed to give her a well loved and worn coat as you can see the wood wear through. Unique shaped glass knobs from anthropologie with brass/gold undertones.

Creme and Grey Dresser

 Before:
After:

New dresser with glass knobs has already found a home!  I wanted to shoot for a 2 toned dresser that would somehow make the drawers pop! The cream and grey is a favorite color choice these days.  It maintains a subtle shabby chic look, but the stained grey drawers bring out the rusticity of the wood.

Robin's Egg Blue Antique Dresser

Before:
 

After


What a dainty little dresser.  I love the original key holes and caster wheels of this little dresser that seem to accentuate her French feel! This was a little of an experiment in color as I wasn't quite sure how this slate would turn out with the Dark Walnut Stain.  But love her I do! She was an easy little ditty to put some love into!
