Interest for Woodworking: tiffany

My Tiffany Blue is AS Provence mixed with Old White.

Once upon a time I found these curly legs at a yard sale. They were all by their lonesome

sitting a top a pile of junk. The arent really legs they are called harp arms and held a mirror

on top of a dresser long ago. They are made of solid wood and perfect for lifting this small cabinet.

The nightstand is Canadian Made solid maple.

I found a door at the Restore. They have tons of doors with all the measurements handy so I went

prepared with my numbers and found one the exact size I needed. The hole was already in the door

for the knob so I went with the placement. I know it is off from where we are use to seeing it

but I like it there.

I hand painted all the trim detail with AS Old White and distressed all the edges.

The knobs are amazing, the centers are crystal rhinestones and the gold and blue pedals are metal.

Easter weekend was filled with sunshine here in Vancouver. Lots of yard work and a great deal

of spring cleaning was accomplished. Im still trying to find time to sift through all the

emails from the weeks I was sick at the same time make up for all the missed work.

The last item I purchased before getting sick was this brown woodland vintage chair,

Isnt it amazing! ... that is sarcasm.

I bought it to show you how all the sculptural pieces of wood could be reused in different ways

and besides the chair its self was gross ... that is not sarcasm.

I used the arms of the chair as front legs on a 4 drawer maple dresser

that was sitting flat on the floor when I purchased it second hand.

I have already written an article about adding the chair legs to a bedside cabinet

which you can catch up on here:

Always remember to think out side of the box,

when something isnt desirable as a whole, concentrate on the parts that attracted you to it.

This Tiffany Blue and White dresser has an antique finish using

distressing, dark wax, and some other paint techniques.

I used vintage hardware and took photos for a tutorial on what to do when your mounting

screws are too short. That will come out later this week.
