Vintage Cherry Dining Table

image
I scored big on this table. The owners were practically giving it away. But as you can probably imagine, that was for good reason. It was in rough, and I mean ROUGH, shape.

Antique mahogany drop leaf table

This cute little side table was screaming out for a modern update. The old look was right at home in your grandparent’s house. But the new, lighter color scheme will look perfect in any modern home. I added a pale taupe paint and whitewashed. The drawer pull was updated with glossy jet black paint.

Elegant Cherry Dining Table

CaneTableSet02
So simple yet so pretty.  This delicate looking, cherry dining table received a rich, chocolatey stain on the top, and a fresh cream colored paint on the skirt and base.  And these funky 70s cane back chairs got an identical paint job to match!  Now they’re a match made in heaven!

Set of 6 antique mahogany chairs

IMG_7350
This is a set of 6 antique mahogany chairs with upholstered seats. I’m not going to lie…..these have seen better days. But I’m going to fix these up and breathe some new life back into them and with any luck they’ll be around for another 100+ years!

There’s 1 captain’s chair with arms, and 5 chairs without arms.

Depression Era oak table

IMG_7347
This vintage, oak kitchen table has definitely been around the block a few times. The former owner thought it might be from the 1920s, and I suspect that’s correct because of the “Depression Era” style of the legs.
The veneer (which is typical for the period) is peeling off, and chipped, and something or someone, has been chewing on various parts. Once I patch up all the missing parts though, this table will be beautiful once again and hopefully it’ll be around for another 100+ years!

Pine Farmhouse Coffee Table

This item has been sold IMG_7525

Simple farmhouse style coffee table. Solid pine. This one just screamed to be painted and distressed!  I gave it a few coats of a creamy antique white, called Casa Blanca, from Sherwin Williams, and then distressed the edges just a little.  It also got a thin pinstripe of glaze right in the groove on the top edge.  So cute!

Antique oak foyer table

This item has been soldTiger oak foyer table

Such a beautiful, gorgeously detailed piece of furniture. Just look at all those details, everywhere you look! I had an inspiration for the look of this piece….a beautiful foyer cabinet I had just seen.
White foyer cabinet

The base got 4 coats of bright white semi-gloss paint, and the top was stripped down to it’s natural state. The entire piece got a coating of clear wax, to add extra durability. And last but not least, I left the original pulls because I love that wonderful patina. So pretty!
