Whale Gray/Tiger Oak (Pin and Cove Dovetail) Dresser

2/14/2017

Picture
This was one of those projects where we took a chance on a piece, not knowing what we would find underneath the painted surface. We believe this piece dates back to the late 1800s or early 1900s. It features unique pin and cove drawer dovetails and beautiful tiger oak. (Note: More finished pictures are at the bottom of the blog).

Sage Green China Cabinet

This is a China cabinet that a friend of ours from Lynchburg, VA found for us. It was in need of some major love, but we saw a lot of potential with its French provincial style.  It took a ton of work, but we love the way this came out.  Plus, we were able to incorporate designer wallpaper into the project, which really brought the piece to another level! We apologize, the phone that we took the before pictures with stopped working on us, so we lost those pictures.  (Note: more finished pictures are at the end of the blog).

This is a dresser that was refinished for our niece, Kinsley.  It was an ugly green color when it arrived at our shop, so we knew that we had our work cut out for us.  However, this was an opportunity for a major transformation, and we couldn't pass up the chance to work on this piece.

This dresser was found in Greensboro, NC.  It needed a little bit of work, but the body was in pretty good shape and all of the original hardware was in great condition.  We have certain designs that we have come to appreciate over time, and the blend of white paint and stain is a classy look that can help improve just about any room that it is put in.
