SOLD/CUSTOM PIECE. I never got this beauty staged for some better photos in better lighting during the crazy month I had 😩, but I want to be vulnerable and keep sharing projects with you, regardless. This sweet client continues to trust me with her pieces! For this one, the entire piece was cleaned and stripped. A lot of the finish actually came off with denatured alcohol, as the previous finish was a failing shellac finish. The original hardware with this piece just didn’t suit it after all the staining/priming/painting. I wrestled with that for awhile, stumped. The hardware when I got it was not original but arrived to me with it. One night, at 3am (often my brightest hour), I remembered I had salvaged original hardware from a similar piece years ago! I couldn’t wait to get into the shop to dig in my stash…And guess what—the pulls fit perfectly!! The escutcheon nails even lined up—like a match made in Heaven. The wood details were accented with gold to highlight their beauty, and the (salvaged!) gold hardware pulled it all together. 🌟This was such a beautiful piece and so much fun. I really am heartbroken after all that work I didn’t get some better photos. That said, Thank you so much for continued support despite my chaos!! 🤎
