NEW BATHROOM, OLD VANITY - lisa's vanity

This Before and After is a little different then you're use to.

It will remind you of how important the finished surroundings

can effect the appeal of your home and your finished project.

Just because it doesn't win the beauty pageant in the work shop

doesn't mean it won't be the star attraction once it is part of your home.

My girlfriend and I painted this vintage sideboard in her unfinished basement.

The perfect place to paint but not the perfect surroundings.

We brush painted it with ASCP in Provence, sanded it smooth, and finished it with wax.

We kept the original hardware and preserved the detailed inlays.

Notice the flower vase has a hit of Provence to tie it in.

For some it is hard to see the final vision, but here's proof it can work!

ARE YOU BEING SERVED - country buffet

This inspired me to .......

to take this and ....

created this!!!!

She was a nice 30 - 40 yr old solid piece of pine furniture.
I added 2 styles of vintage hardware,
3 decorative appliques, raised her up with new hardwood legs,
and an old world feel faux paint job

The original shelves were loose and had no shelf pins to sit on.
I had a perfect set of dark brown drawer glides to make these
shelves more accessible, throw in the baskets and you have the
perfect storage piece for many different rooms and uses.


Below you can see a dark walnut stain with 5 clear coats to the surface.
