French Television Armoire by Ethan Allen

It's not every day that I get to work with
such a high quality, just amazing piece of furniture.
It can make you super nervous actually!
But, I am SO excited about the way this
beautiful Ethan Allen Television Armoire turned out!

I'm naming it...



"Danielle"



This is no antique either. It's a 1997 model.
This means high quality hardware and function, which
you will see shortly.



 

It only had 3 out of 4 of the original knobs,
so two went on the outside, and two other similar
knobs I had went on the inside drawer.














The piece is refinished with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
in a mixture of Old White and French Linen,
with French Linen on the top and
sealed with Polycrylic.





Ok....unedited photos from here on out!
I have some kiddos to take care of!!! ;-)

Again, this piece has AMAZING hardware!
The doors open out like this, and
then they slide smoothly back into the cabinet.

 


 
Because of all the moving parts, I chose not to deal with
disassembling and painting the interior.



Here you can see the top quality sliding
hardware
for the doors.





The interior shelf slides in and out. The picture above shows
the maximum amount it slides out...it's just a little bit.




Here you see the alternative knobs and interior drawer.




Look at the solid wood quality and dividers!
The keys are taped to the bottom right section.



Or if you prefer, you can easily remove the wood dividers. :-)
Nice, huh?!




It gets better!



It has three integrated outlet plugs and a coaxial cable.

BEFORE:
It wasn't in terrible shapes, but had scratches
and some fading on the wood...





Thanks for stopping by today!

I'd love to have to follow along on
any or all of the following!

Cute Little Shelf With Hooks

Here is just a little ledge shelf with hooks that I put together this week.
It's more on the rustic side with cute double rose petal hooks.



Handmade from solid wood. Very rustic or country like with shabby chic cream paint, roughly distressed to show a light green base, then glazed with a light taupe and top coat for protection. These are the cutest hooks I've found in awhile! Double hook with chrome and creamy white rose petal ends. I imagine being able to use this to hold jewelry, scarves, hats, and of course jackets. The top can be used as a ledge shelf to place an item such as a picture or mirror. The back has two heavy duty D-rings to hang it with.

Dimensions are 13.75"l x 11.25"w x 7"deep


$40 cash






Have a GREAT weekend!
I'm off to my 10 year reunion...crazy how time flies!

Sweetheart Lane Cedar Chest

So I am in full blown bridal shower preparations, and you know it will be nothing but the best because it is for my lovely sister!

In the meantime, here is the latest for sale from RustiChic!




It is a Lane Sweetheart Cedar Chest in excellent condition. Updated with bun feet, high end Christie Brinkley eco-friendly fabric, and a layered glaze finish (cream paint with base honeydew glaze follow by a custom taupe glaze on top). Lightly clear coated for minimal protection and allow for natural distressing. It is very shabby chic, country, or french depending on it's surroundings.

Measures 47.5" long x 16" wide x 20.5" high.





Great for an entryway or end of bed!

$250

Contact me to schedule a viewing. More pictures to come!

French Hutch Available For Presale

Awhile back I posted a beautiful hutch I have that I am going to refinish.  In the meantime since posting that, we've been using our paint sprayer at our other house that we are getting ready to sell.  This just means that I stare at it every time I walk out of the garage, and just wish I could get to work already!

Here she is~


Such pretty lines.

I thought I would put it up for presale before I begin on it in the next week. Then you would have the say in how it is finished. I will be listing it for $275.  Let me know if you are interested or have questions by clicking the contact me tab at the upper right section of the page.


The two upper side portions do not open and I would use wire across the doors with original hardware.

Dimensions are: 52.75" wide  x  17" deep  x  80.25 tall


Thanks,

Anneke
