Hand Carved Shelf Unit

 

My neighbor showed up at home two weeks ago!

She knows about my work with furniture and offer to me a shelf unit she doesn't need any more!

Immediately went to see the shelf and I love it!

 

 

Solid Oak

 Hand Carved Details

Three Drawers

Very Sturdy

and

Stylish...
 

 

Later in the week, my husband asked me "What color are you going to paint it?"

I had no doubt to answer:
"Antique White"

After an important sanding, my own chalk paint, the work is done!

Beautiful piece...
 

Thursday I got it to the store, and placed on my booth... a statement...

Vintage silver pieces to show still more style in this piece...

 

 On Saturday around 1:30 p.m. got a call from On A Whim...

Shelf Unit SOLD!!!
I'm sure the new owners fall in love with it!

 

Thankful! Jacqueline

Nine Drawers

My last creation a great dresser with nine drawers, all working very smooth, great condition and gorgeous design!

 

I sanded it and painted the body with Valspar Flat finish in a Tan color, intense and beautiful...

 

 

For the drawers I prepared three different tones of my own recipe of chalk paint in Antique White, painting each line of drawers from lighter to darker

 

 

The distress was the hardest part of the job!

Is a beautiful piece, plenty storage space, looks modern and eclectic too!

 

 

Hope you fall in love with it!

Thankful! Jacqueline

I bought this dresser from Craigslist long time ago!

 

 

The condition: great!

7 Drawers!

Bronze hardware

Solid Pine Wood

Big Surfaces to work on it!

One Shelf on Top and One Shelf on the Bottom!

 

 

I didn't take a before picture!

 Dark wood color, not attractive at all... but the design... the Piano shape, just lovely...

 

I decided to paint it with two colors, also using colors that everyone in the family feels comfortable with!

I thought.... a Family Desk!!
