Weathered Grey Nightstands Before & After

We love it when great pieces like these 

just turn up at the studio...

we have a fabulous network

 and they know EXACTLY what I love

I know, right?

GORGEOUS!

Made by my favorite manufacturer

White Fine Furniture Co

(sorry, no pics yet of the finished dresser...it is HUGE

and quite heavy)

Lately, I've been really loving the idea of making pieces

look old and weathered without actually distressing them

and I can't get enough of white and grey

Cage-front nightstands have gotten harder and harder to find!

Instead of our usual fancy finish with gold leaf, etc

we kept these pretty simple

with Snow White from General Finishes

On top of the Snow White, Black glaze, watered down

and heavily wiped back

In insides are fresh and clean with Snow White paint 

and several coats of General Finishes Satin topcoat

The hardware is a custom mixed color using One Step Paint

sealed with Satin topcoat from GF

The coordinating dresser wears the same finish

and turned out lovely

I can visualize this set in an all white bedroom

with touches of grey linen on the bed...

gorgeous!

You can find these pieces,

as well as the matching dresser

exclusively at 

607 Vintage MarketPlace

Thanks for stopping by!

Table for Ten

I love to buy dining sets.

I do not love to paint dining sets.

It's no secret my favorite French Provincial manufacturer

is White Fine Furniture

This set...yeah, it's made by White

Oh happy day!

Sort of makes me hate painting chairs 

and stripping tabletops a LITTLE less

 The table comes with a pair of leaves, and is able to seat 10

That gorgeous stain?

None other than Gel Stain from General Finishes

(available locally at Marcotte's, right next door to 607!)

I sealed the stain with General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish

(food safe)

The chairs had horrible blue fabric...

I'm not a great upholsterer, so I painted both sides of the back

In Amy Howard at Home's One Step Paint in Linen

and only recovered the seats

The upholstery tacks give it a more finished look, I think

and seriously...how much do you LOVE this fabric?

I have LOTS of it left...looking forward to using it again

You can see this gorgeous table at 607 Vintage Marketplace
