Dining Room Hutch, part 1

Here is part one of a two part project post.
Why two posts?
Because this piece of furniture is massive (and heavy).
It doesn't appear that large in photos, but trust me, it is.

A few weeks ago I posted about a client who recently
purchased a new lake home.  She came to me requesting
we brighten up some of her existing furniture.

Here is another piece that she dropped off:


She requested it be painted in Annie Sloan's Old White with
light distressing.

Here is how the bottom portion turned out.



I love the original hardware. 
The entire piece looks fantastic. It's a completely different look.

We're nearly finished with the hutch portion of this project. 
I'll post photos in a day or so.
If you know me, you know I'll do whatever it takes to get a
great furniture shot.  Lifting, moving - bring it on.
So . . .  I'm really bummed that
the hutch is too heavy for us to lift onto this cabinet.
On the bright side, two part furniture posts can be fun.
Plus - I'm pregnant - so the lifting ends here.  Until, October.
To be continued!

China Cabinet Beauty

I am so excited to FINALLY show off this project!
The before and after results are drastic.
{i.am.exhausted.}


I found this china cabinet at
Good Will a LONG time ago.
It's been sitting in my garage, collecting dust...
until a new client of mine reserved it.


Here is the before shot,
sitting pretty in my garage.
{check out that dust!}

We decided on:
 Annie Sloan's Old White paint for the exterior.
A subtle gray color for inside the hutch.
Stunning hardware from Anthro.

Here is how it turned out!






I already warned my client that I may be watery-eyed
as we delivery this. Gosh, it would look so nice in our house!

Sand Dollar

This antique radio cabinet was gifted to us by our neighbor,
how luck are we!  Well, it wasn't always this beautiful.
Naturally, it was a bit dated, but it had LOTS of potential.
Such a cool piece with unique doors and storage space.


I decided to paint it in Annie Sloan's Louis Blue - paired with
Old White highlights and just the right amount of light / dark wax.
I'm happy to report it's now a beautiful wine bar.

We just love this transformation!

Duck Egg Curio Cabint

My sis-in-law and her husband recently bought their first
(charming) new house.  And let me tell you,
it's furnished beautifully!

They've had their eye on this
tall curio cabinet for awhile. 


We decided on Annie Sloan Duck Egg for
the exterior and Old White for the interior.
We paired it with fun knobs from World Market.

Here's how their vision turned out!




It's such a fantastic piece with so much versatility.
I love it!

Buffet Beauty

I love this one!
A repeat client of mine has been searching for
that.perfect.piece. for her dining room.
And, she finally found it.
This bar cabinet has been sitting on the
Coming Soon page of my website for awhile.
It's the best little cabinet! 
The wood top actually pulls apart,
slides open and nearly doubles the serving space!
And, there's a ton of storage space inside it.


Here is the before:

She requested an Old White body with a wood top.
I decided to make the top look a little more worn and aged
by doing a whitewash, rubbing it off and then sealing
it with both a dark and clear wax coat.
It's beautiful!







I hope you love it, Gina!
If not, we'll gladly keep it!  :)

Corner Cabinet

A repeat client of mine has been looking for a
corner cabinet for in her dining room.
She stumbled upon one on Craig's List and snatched it
up at a bargain price.
She emailed me for a custom quote and said
she wanted it painted black and lightly distressed.
So, we did just that.







I think it turned out perfect!
