Grey and Wood Antique Buffet

Grand Grey Distressed Antique Wooden Buffet on Caster Wheels. This piece has such hidden charm from the mini mirror on the top back to the long low top drawer, french legs, remnants of exquisite trim, and even an optional resurfaced wooden silverware organizer that can be removed if necessary. I stripped her down and painted a grey milk paint wash over her, and distressed her back down for a well loved and worn look. the natural dark wood compliments the subtle grey in such an elegant color palette. Most of the hardware is original and cleaned up a bit to show through some silver hints, so I chose 2 silver wired knobs for the 2 cabinet doors. Two of the middle drawers are lined with an muted yellow regal animal paper. 

Dimensions are as follows:

5 feet wide
4 feet tall with mirror, (40 inches tall without the mirror attached.)
22 inches deep

Grey and Mint Dresser turned Vessel Sink

Just recently sold this gem to a family in Silverthorn Colorado who were taking the leap and turning an old dresser into a vessel sink vanity. I'd be ever so eager to see the cozy little mountain bathroom she ended up in and the little hands that might tidy up before dinner at her frame. I loved the mint glass geometrically shaped knobs fort he bottom two drawer. I had to keep the top two with her original knobs as a little relic of the past always keeps us grounded.  She had the loveliest of trims and added embellishments.

Bonjour Buffet

What a prize to find! You'd have thought I had won a contest when I snatched this little treasure up! I kept grinning all day, dreaming up the possibilities of her outcome. The detail and shape to her are simply exquisite and dear. I originally planned to just shoot for the two toned white shabby finished product, but after applying this coat of paint, I realized she needed just a hint of color.  I love the muted grey with green undertones.  I kept most of the original hardware and cleaned her off with a good coat of poly.

Creme and Grey Dresser

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.

I was quite pleased by how this little one came out.  When I went to pick this dresser up, I noticed some vintage remnants of her original color and became quickly fond of the light blue and cream combo.  I searched around my paint options and while none of them actually was the true color, I began doing a little kindergarten paint mixing to try and match the color as best as possible.  While not often functioning, keyholes are a favorite feature of mine in a dresser.  I also loved the simple trim around the bottom 2 drawers that adds a dainty extra touch to her face.

Autumn's Dresser

How fitting that this dainty dear find a home at a friend's named Autumn. I did this piece as a contract work and love the warm hues she'll bring to a room. My favorite little part of her is her top. The contours of the wood are unique to say the least. She just has a classy little face to her, not to mention some legssss!
