Reclaimed Sofa/Entry Table {Fourth in a Series}

Here we have the fourth reclaimed table in the Sheriff series. You can read about the history of the reclaimed lumber here.

We changed things up a bit this time around and created a sofa/entry/hallway table. Using reclaimed lumber, some reclaimed metal screen from an abandon quarry and my husbands mad welding skills, we created this one-of-a-kind, handcrafted metal/wood table.

The uniqueness of this table is evident and the attention to detail is like no other.

Here is the link to the dimensions and pricing for this table and all the other items I currently have for sale.

We are suppose to hit the 60s this week in Minnesota---can you say Spring Fever!

Have a great day!

Nine Drawer Drexel Dresser

This is, without a doubt, the LARGEST dresser I have had the pleasure of working on since UP has been in business. So much storage in this nine drawer Drexel...you could use it as a dresser or even a buffet/sideboard.

It's finished in Annie Sloan Old Ochre and I used Old White to highlight the filigrees and the molding on the drawers.

 

I'll be spending the next few weeks preparing for a Spring Show...stay tuned for details!

Have a great week!

Antique Wash Stand {Before and After}

I just wrapped up this antique wash stand for a customer. I was asked to paint the body navy blue, refinish the top and refresh the hardware.

So into the shop I went and here is the before and after!

As you can probably tell by now, I prefer to use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint as my product of choice but ASCP doesn't come premixed in a true navy. However, you can mix any of the standard colors to create a nice rich navy. I created this velvety blue by combining Napoleonic and Barcelona. {I'm really pleased with the depth of the color, it turned out better then I ever imagined} I did use dark wax to seal the paint and deepen the look some more.

Once I had the top stripped down, I stained it with a special mix of stain {seems like the colors right out of the can are never quite what I need for the project so I always mix} and sealed it with a couple coats of dark wax.

The hardware got an update as well and is looking stunning in a new gold metallic finish.

I hope you like the finished look of this project as much as I do...this is certainly one of my favorite color combos!

Thanks for dropping by!
