Restoration Hardware French Twin Bed.....


One of our wonderful repeat clients from 2014 came 
back to us and picked this french provincial twin bed
out of our inventory.  She wanted it to match her previous pieces
she purchased from us and had us custom paint them in 
restoration hardware colors and designs.
They where all done at different times.  She is very patient 
and waits for the perfect pieces we get in that she likes.
Here is the before of the twin bed.



We stripped it down and she wanted us to remove all the spindles
to make it more modern and unisex for her little boy.







Next we primed it.


Then I painted it the color she wanted which was 
a restoration hardware paint.




Did the detail in a restoration hardware paint also.
I didn't have to be perfect on the detail either!  
The design is meant to look imperfect.





Distressed certain areas to show some wood and some primer.









Looks fantastic without the spindles!  
Here are all the pieces below we have furnished and custom painted 
for her.  All in the same style and all french.
We custom made the french chest it was actually a 
highboy.  We then made her the baby changing table and 
made it removeable with hinges.  You can
search my blog for that post under "Restoration Hardware".

Restoration Style Baby French Provincial Dresser with Topper......


So I got a new buyer who was looking for a dresser like this one from restoration hardware for baby plus painted liked it.  She wanted it with more curves like a french provincial style.  Plus she wanted a changing topper like the ones they sell at restoration hardware so when the baby grows she can take it off and use it as a dresser.



So I showed her this one I had, told her we could take the top off and make it into what she wanted...
she didn't want the french handles though so she got the rounded knobs....


So we took the top off, sanded it down, took the back off....



filled in the holes that held the top together with the bottom...


then John cut a piece of wood to match the curves on the curved piece 
the top part of the dresser was attached to
so he can make the baby changing topper..
placed it on the bottom for support...


we filled in the holes so we could use only the single knobs....
primed it and painted it with multiple coats for primer and paint...



we put together the changing topper...


added some felt to the topper so it wouldn't scratch the top of the dresser...


added some hinges to the back so she can lift it if she needs to clean....
replaced the back with a new board...


she wanted it painted like the other one,
so she went to restoration hardware to get the matching paints....





I distressed it in certain spots .....


painted the groved parts the sage color...


painted the outside trim of the drawers also the sage...


distressed the sage parts and some of the cream parts...











She loved it!  I do too :)  Looks really good.
