Grey and Wood Antique Buffet

After:

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.

Shabby Pair of Side Tables

These were a fun pair that a friend dropped off. Incredibly old antiquing wood with really interesting detail. They just don't make them like they used to.  You can tell the sides extend on a hinge that when pulled out, a hidden bar or wedge can be pulled out for the side to rest on.  I considered changing the knobs as I love a fresh look on the old, but couldn't bear to change too much and bring too much attention to the change. You can find them in the living room of a dear friend, along with other treasures I've created sprinkled around their house.

Sailor Blue Side Table

BEFORE:

 

AFTER:

I had recently found this Blue Milk Paint to be so subtle and rich and therefore was pretty excited to give an old vintage side table a fresh start.  This gem sat in the basement for what seems like the longest time waiting for the perfect knob.  I could have brought home a course of 7 different options, just sure it would be a smashing hit.  And each seemed to incompatible in some measure.

Finally 3 lovely Anthropologie painted knobs found their home on her drawer fronts.

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 ;)
