HOW I BUILT A SOFA TABLE - using reclaimed items
When GG got home from work he couldn't figure out what I had done that day. Turns out what I had built looked so much like something I had already done he could tell the difference. Let's take a look ...
SHE'S A PRETTY SECRETARY - pink and white desk
She sure is a looker!
I started with a much shorter desk, I designed and built the top. Come see the before picture and read about how I created the finished look.
CUSTOMER EMAIL - joelle's new foyer
I got one of those amazing emails from a happy customer.
Hi Kristy and George,
I thought I would send you a pic of my new 'old world dresser'!!!
I put it in my newly revamped foyer..............I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you so much, Joelle
Doesn't it look amazing?
The original posting for this OLD WORLD DRESSER can be seen here.
CONSOLE TABLES - 2 different styles
I have been planning to do this kind of project for quite some time and really enjoyed creating these from recycled vintage desks.
REMAKING A PRIMITIVE KITCHEN CUPBOARD
This huge project was done for a friend of GG's. It was something they found on a trip and they loved it enough to bring it all the way home. Now it was my turn to update it.
MOUTHWATERING DESK - bright white desk
Have you ever seen such a beautiful shabby chic desk.
Glass knobs
It has a great foot shelf underneath with caning.
Painted in bright white, distressed, and waxed offering that oh so soft velvety feel.
I had 2 small orb shaped knobs perfect for these mini drawers.
THE BEFORE - window dresser
I recently replaced 3 large ugly drawers in the middle of an old dresser
with a vintage window turned door and cupboard space behind.
Here are the much anticipated BEFORE shots.
The first time my daughter saw this dresser she remarked on the ugliness of the middle drawers.
Not to worry they will get used in the future but out they go for now.
This is my sliding compound mitre saw, a tool I use just about every day,
and definitely an asset for this project.
The interior of the cupboard was lined with the wood from the 4 drawers.
A = drawer back
B = drawer bottom
C = drawer sides
There is a great deal of framing going on behind that beautiful wood interior.
Again most of it was the original framing for the drawers just re purposed.
It's like it was meant to be this way always!
You can find all the beauty shots here,
