Mint Green Thomasville Armoire...SOLD

A new piece has recently been finished and I must say it is pretty darn cute! When I picked this piece up it was off white...and not the clean fresh off white that goes great with shabby decor. Because of its age the white had turned to a brown tinted cream and had flecks of a goldish color that once was popular. Not anymore! While the bones were GREAT, this piece needed an update and what better color to give it just that than mint green! {Go ahead and google 'Mint Green Armoire' and you will likely ohhh and awwwwe at all the inspiration, like I did!} To give it a fun trendy finish I added gold arrow pulls to replace the broken existing ones and am totally loving how it turned out!

This is a solid wood Thomasville Armoire featuring 3 drawers and 2 shelves for your storage needs. The cubbie portions measure 34.5 in. wide x 15 in deep x 9.5 in. tall. The two bottom drawers are 14.5 in. deep x 30 in. wide and sink 5 in. and the one behind the door is 12 in. deep x 26.5 in. wide and sinks 5 in. also. All drawers are fashioned with dove tail joints as this quality piece is built to stand the test of time!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks for dropping by ~Kell

Stunning Chris Madden 12 Drawer Solid Wood Dresser & Mirror...SOLD

Oh boy...I wish I could add emoji's...I would insert the cute yellow face with heart eyes because that is how I feel about this dresser!! I placed it in my bedroom to store and it made my heart jump...I now know that this is how I want to refinish my bedroom set. I absolutely love how this turned out!!! The white paint with the dark walnut stain is SOOOO beautiful it's making me swoon ♥

This very heavy, solid wood, dove tailed piece has been sanded, de-glossed, primed, stripped of the original coat on the top which was stained in a dark walnut with a coat of polyurethane added, and the body and mirror were painted with several coats using an industrial sprayer for no brush strokes in a color called Comet Dust by Valspar which is a beautiful white with very light gray undertones...perfect match for any home! After the paint was applied it was sanded again for a smooth finish and waxed for protection. I also added new knobs to the top drawers to give it a more substantial feel and I love the pairing!!

Altogether it stands 66 in. wide x 18 in deep x 38 in tall. It features 12 drawers...the side ones are 12 in. wide x 14.5 in. deep and sink 4 & 6 in. while the middle 4 are 27.5 in. wide x 14.5 in. deep and sink 4 & 6 in. The mirror measures 38 in. wide x 42.5 in. tall x 3 in. deep.

Thanks for popping in! Stay tuned as there is more to come...I just finished a darling armoire that I am waiting on some hardware for and I will get it posted. It's almost the weekend every one {insert happy dance} ~Kell
