I do feel like a Rescue home for poor neglected and abused furniture on many days, and this piece is a great example. Observe...missing legs and feet, what to do, what to do?! I actually looked into adding some height back to it by attaching a footed bottom, but my
handy man Mr. talked me out of it. Instead we gave her wheels and then a makeover.
It ended up being nearly the perfect height for several possible uses.
Love the detail work on this piece. That's
Home Plate accenting those. Inside those little doors was...
lovely wood in really good condition. It always amazes me how horrible a piece can look on the outside and how untouched the inside appears to be. I just renewed and sealed the interior drawers. What use do you see here? Dresser, Bar Cart, Paper Craft organization?
As bad as the top was it stripped down and refinished beautifully! The wood is just such a pretty contrast to the paint. Love this one a lot!!
And when a girl gets wheels she sometimes needs new "jewelry" too. I love these knobs so much. It makes me sad that they were being clearances and I might not be able to find more!
A definite improvement! The main body is painted in Smoke Signal. Waxed in a 50/50 mix of clear and dark wax. I can't wait to take her to the Prairie Market or Junk Stock!!
