Vicky’s Bombay chest

Vicky has been eyeing a green Bombay chest from Pottery Barn but it was a bit pricey!

Her daughter found this one on Craigslist and told her she knew someone who would work some magic on it.

{thanks Savannah!}

We found a new green paint and quickly got to work! We love the finished product and look forward to using our new color again soon!

Enjoy Vicky!!

{our} media console

We found this dresser in our neighborhood a few months ago and knew it would be perfect to replace our Ikea media console!

It collected dust in our garage for quite a while as we worked on client projects!

One of our most loyal clients, Dara, was in need of a media console and liked our Ikea one! We gave her a great price and she gave us the incentive to refinish this dresser for ourselves.

What a treat!

We refinished the bottom in Antique White and Tyler did a fabulous job of staining the top with a custom stain color he fashioned up.

Tyler removed the drawers that were behind the doors and replaced it with adjustable shelves.

This will allow us to use our console over the years, even if we get new equipment in different sizes.

Our TV equipment is hidden nicely behind the doors.

Tyler removed the wood backing behind the metal grates and replaced it with fabric so we can use the remotes with the doors closed.

We love how this piece turned out and know we will enjoy it for many many {many} years!!

chest & nightstands

tn (2)Our lovely parents spotted this set of furniture at a local estate sale and immediately started calling & emailing us photos.  We of course said “yes” we want them!

This piece is a great combo of a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Plenty of storage, beautiful hardware, great detail and a structurally sound piece of furniture.

(yes, we say that a lot, but it’s true!)
