"The base of this was damaged and ended up being particle board so I removed the entire bottom and rebuilt it with cleaner lines. Added vintage metal feet that I repurposed from an old project. Top sanded down beautifully so I stained it in General Finishes Flint Liquid Oil Stain. Body refinished in a custom mix of GF Millstone and Reverent Gray creating an off white/beige with subtle hints of gray. The perfect neutral to compliment any decor. Original hardware updated to black to match feet...

"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!

"You can never go wrong with a black piece of furniture. It is such a rich, classic color choice. I painted this vintage cherry wood dresser in Lamp Black by General Finishes.

An all natural furniture salve called Board & Boot by Melange Artisan Mineral Paintswas used to seal the paint as we as condition the...
"Chose General Finishes Tuscan Red because its a beautiful shade of red with its old world charm and deep rustic tones. After two applications I was going to accent with dark wax but opted to use the GF Java Gel as the accent because that’s what I used to stain the top and lower shelf. It worked perfectly giving the turned legs some accent and depth!"
