Every now and then I come across a fun mid-century piece of furniture that needs a rescue.
This time it was a 4 drawer chest, the exterior teak veneer was very weathered, stained, and dried out.
I removed the drawers and sprayed the cabinet with a flat white enamel to block the stains.
I then sprayed the exterior with a creamy white Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
I finished it up by dark waxing the drawers and clear waxed the body to get that soft velvety feel
I adore so much.
There is something regal about mid-century furniture with its simple shapes, clean lines, and unique designs.

Like this sweeping long dresser pictured above many of the pieces have handles built into the design.

Another familiar look of these pieces are the tapered and angular legs they have.

I like to combine a beautiful bone white with the walnut finish on mid-century pieces.
It easily enhances the original design, shape, and beauty of the furniture.

Hi Everyone,
I have several great passions in life (well, I have more than than but well talk about that later). History is one of them and furniture is another. Here is a brief blurb about a craftsman here in the US who fashions furniture from green, unseasoned hardwoods the way it was done centuries ago. His name is Peter Follansbee and I believe he works primarily in oak. The furniture he makes is amazing. Take a look at his blog at:
http://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/.
The detail in his furniture is incredible. I wish I could carve like that!

FURNITURE MAKE OVERS before and afters 2
Selasa, 12 April 2016
Here are some BEFORE and AFTER photos from the furniture makeover weekend I havent gotten
around to showing yet. This event offered a place to work, access to a skilled professional (thats me)
and like minded women to meet and share ideas with. I had a wonderful time meet with
these different women and was honoured to work with them on their projects. They also had passed a
thank you card around the class during the final day for every one to sign. The truth is I got whiff of it
in advance and thank fully I did cause its those darn things that will make me tear up when you
catch me off guard. Please enjoy these pictures and take away some ideas and inspiration of what
you can do. Ill start with this short dresser that was already converted into a blanket box. The drawer
faces were fixed in place and the top was hinged. Now there is a great idea!
