Outdated Vintage Buffet Made Modern...


I had found this vintage buffet a while back.
Was waiting to work on it once I finished all 
my customer orders.  Now, that I started limiting customers orders
I can start doing my project pieces.
I love doing my own pieces so much!
This buffet I didn’t like the plastic fronts.
Didn’t like the hardware.
Didn’t like the bottom skirt.


I first removed the skirt trim.  Still didn’t like it.


So I removed the plastic front decor.
Then cut the wood fronts and sides on bottom.


After cutting it, I wanted some added layer 
to the bottom.  So we added more wood
trim just to the bottom underneath it.
We added some wood legs to each side.


Filled in all the holes from the plastic decor.
Also filled in the older handle holes.
I purchased new antique bronze modern hardware.


Removed the back because it had a hole in it.
Added a new back.


All prepped and I was loving it!  
It was coming out just like I had envisioned.  


Primed it gray, then painted it in
Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray.





Added the new modern hardware.


I painted everything, all the inside cabinets areas.










Love it!  So happy with the look!!

Mid Century Modern Dresser White Grey....


This was made by the famous designer
Johnson Carper who 
designed beautiful mcm furniture.
This one we bought at a auction it was broken 
on one leg and severe veneer damage on the front pulls.
Here is the before.



We sealed in all the loose veneer.
Then stripped the whole dresser.


We repaired the leg. 


I decided to go with a multi color look.
Primed everything I was going to paint.
Painted the body white and the front drawer
pulls gray.  
Then stained the drawers.




Sealed everything in a semi gloss water based sealer.
All done in a NO BRUSH STROKE FINISH.












Looks amazing.
Currently available for purchase, message me for more info.

Gray Media Cabinet Updated....


New client found me online and wanted us to update
her media cabinet.  She wanted a gray body with a stained top.
Then distressed edges.  Hardware in rubbed bronze.
Before below...


We stripped what we could as most of it was pressed board
with a very thin veneer covering.










Stained top in espresso and sealed in a water base sealer.















Amazing!
