We decided that the hyper detailed YXE maps needed a little extra to stand out and protect the fragile laser cut layer. So we decided to mount it onto a backer board finished with this beautiful Lamp Black Milk Paint from our friends at...

"Sometimes pieces really put me thru my paces but when they turn out this beautiful, it is worth it! Originally discussed staining the entire piece but after painstakingly removing the top layer of veneer on the top of the dresser that was pretty severely damaged, we realized the wood underneath was not pretty and no matter how much sanding I did, it did not look good stained so we pivoted and decided to paint the frame and stain the drawers. Painted in General Finishes Lamp Black and stained...

"Sometimes people get downright mad when we alter designs. But sometimes it's just necessary!This poster rice bed will be making it's home at new Airbnb so it needed a new design. To bring down it's massive footprint we chopped the posts and replaced them with cannonball finials. Funny how it looks like it was always meant to be this way, right? The deep saturated GF Twilight Milk Paint color gave it a moody new aura, too." - Saved By Design

"This piece was damaged in my clients last move by the movers. The leg was cracked, and splitting from the back on the base to the front. We made the decision to cut part of the legs off, and build a custom base.Repaired the damage, used some good old bondo and you would never known it was man handled by the movers.
We changed out the hardware, filled the holes, primed, and painted in General Finishes Queenstown Gray. Followed with my favorite topcoat, GF High Performance flat." - Revived...

"I absolutely adore this set. I’m not going to lie- I contemplated painting these for a few weeks but I just couldn’t bring myself to! True old oak is becoming SO hard to find and good quality wood shouldn’t be covered up in my opinion.
Old growth white oak….. so while they did have some of that natural honey color, we had to subdue- I couldn’t be more thrilled with how these updated onto a traditional yet very versatile style!
