BRITISH SUBWAY ART - british dresser


This dresser couldn't get more British unless it was still in the UK.
Yes, it originally came from England, and now it has the British Flag pattern painted
on the face, and it even has British subway art topping it off.


The original cherry cordial finish was in pretty good condition
and it's so unique I wanted to work with it.


It still has some bruises in the original finish but it is has a completely new look now.
  

The bright white stripping of the Union jack flag pop incredibly on this deep Burgundy color.


The original top had a large sun stain where a doily sat so the plan was hatched to cover it up.


There is over 40 different British destinations listed in the subway art, even a misspelling.
It's not an obvious one and you can't see it in the photos here so stop looking for it.

The answer to the question of how long did it take you ... many, many hours over several days.

... and GREAT PATIENCE!

HELLO BIRDIE - bird and birch dresser

A lil birdie told me to do it ...


Just a quick post as both George and I are off to a birthday celebration.


 We are both March babies so we can celebrate together.


Notice the mini cabriolet legs I added,


and the color scheme of the drawer knobs ...
white on white wood on wood


The bird and birch dresser is listed on the SHOWROOM page.
