KROEHLER BUFFET OR DRESSER WITH MIRROR

Just finished this elegant piece today.  It is made by Kroehler, one of the oldest furniture companies in the country.  With 9 drawers, 3 of which are hidden behind the door, it is made of white oak and has dove tail construction.  I painted it black and gently distressed  it, finishing it off in a clear top coat.

Well I finally finished this chunky hunk!  I love how the grain came out, looks like ostrich skin!  You can see on Etsy.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/98947445/rustic-farm-house-buffet-or-dresser

I guess my love and skill for refinishing and painting came from my parents.  When ever we wanted a change in our rooms, my mother would say "lets paint"!  The walls, the furniture.  Very cost effective. lol   Still today its a great way to lift your spirits with a new look and not a lot of money.  And have fun while you're doing it!

This antique quilting rocker has been redone in silky white with a base coat of Pale Jade.  It was gently distressed to show the coat beneath.  The chair went to our niece who is expecting in June!

Farm House Style Dinette Set SOLD!

I love this set!  It looks good in or outside!  I'm working on a matching buffet, should be done next Monday!
