Mid Century Modern Emphasis Buffet.....
Broyhill made amazing mid century furniture back in the 70s.
I just love the Broyhill mid century modern in the Emphasis line.
How the whole legs are built in...then sculpted all the way down...
gorgeous!
Most mid century modern have the screwed in base. I mean love those too!
These just have a design to them that has detail but not too much.
Here is the before below. It didn't have the original wood sculpted
handles. Most where broken or totally gone.
We filled in the carved out wood from the original hardware.
Then I painted the drawers black.
Added new modern hardware in aged brass.
Then I added some pop to the cabinet area.
Matte black vine wallpaper with yellow birds.
Cleaned up the wood finish with some dark walnut stain.
Sealed everything in a semi gloss sealer.
SOLD!

Italian Provincial Updated in Black Bamboo..
I had purchased this dresser with a matching chest
of drawers. I was going to work on it eventually.
A customer wanted to come view a
restored mcm dresser I had done for her nursery.
She seen this one and wanted to know what my
plans where for it. I told her my design and she
wanted first dibs on it before I list.
Before above.
I removed the plastic decor pieces on the top drawers.
Sanded it all down because the original finish was chipping
and worn.
Sealed in all the holes from the plastic decor
and older hardware holes.
I had purchased new modern updated hardware for this one.
Added the new hardware holes.
I painted it in my new favorite color called
Black Bamboo. It looks darker in this picture.
It's more of a softer army green color. I love it!
Sealed in a sprayed flat sealer.
New antique bronze modern hardware.
Her and her husband loved it! So it was purchased, couldn't list it!
Before and after below.
Vintage Mid Century Modern in Navy....
I was planning on restoring this vintage BASSETT
mid century modern dresser. It needed some work.
I'm not one of those sellers that just cleans up
a piece and leaves chipped veneer
then lists it at a high prices.
I would feel so guilty for doing that.
It's getting absolutely ridiculous on some prices we see on
some damaged pieces.
We repair them, which we have learned from our years of doing this.
We work hard and this is why my work is higher than most.
Look at the picture below and above as these are the before.
Chipped veneer. We repair those, along with everything
else we see that needs attention. Yes, it takes time.
Yes, it's not an easy flip. Most vintage pieces are not I've learned
through my 10 years of doing this.
So, after we repair we strip it or sand it.
Stripped below though because I was planning on
restoring with stain.
Repaired veneer. We finished at the end of the day and I was about
to get to the staining the next morning.
But, a customer contacted me that night and
wanted to know if I had any mcm 6 drawer dressers.
I told her about this one I was working on.
Although, she wanted it painted navy.
I primed it the next day.
Then I painted it in latex Benjamin Moore old navy for her.
Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.
I suggested staining the legs in a dark walnut.
She loved that idea.
I'm so proud of our finishes. It isn't easy, it takes a lot of work.
I am up for the challenge every time. I want to be proud of what we put out.
Looks amazing...
It will be heading to it's new home in a few days!

Italian Provincial Modernized...
Well, this is another of my pieces I've had in my
fixer upper project inventory. I was going to keep
the vintage hardware.
Just replace the missing top knobs, but I decided
to do all new modern hardware.
I thought (and I was right) it would look better.
The before is below.
We repaired the missing chipped veneer on top
and everywhere needed.
Sealed in all the old hardware holes, except for the top
drawers.
Then sanded it all down.
I primed it all.
Added our new holes. I make sure that my holes
are always even. Plus I make sure that you can't see the older holes.
This is why my prices are higher.
We make sure we love it and are good with our work
before we list it.
We added the new holes on the cabinet doors.
I painted it in Benjamin Moore Old Navy.
Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed finish.
I purchased new antique brass modern hardware.
So proud of our work!
It looks absolutely freaking amazing!
This sold before I could even finish!
The customer had actually surprised his wife for
mother's day! What an amazing gift 💝

straight lines. It was in the back of my inventory though.
So I couldn't get to it till I got to the one in the front.

It had some major wear on top.
We stripped it down.
Sealed in the major scratches and dents.

Outdated Vintage Buffet Made Modern...
I had found this vintage buffet a while back.
Was waiting to work on it once I finished all
my customer orders. Now, that I started limiting customers orders
I can start doing my project pieces.
I love doing my own pieces so much!
This buffet I didn’t like the plastic fronts.
Didn’t like the hardware.
Didn’t like the bottom skirt.
I first removed the skirt trim. Still didn’t like it.
So I removed the plastic front decor.
Then cut the wood fronts and sides on bottom.
After cutting it, I wanted some added layer
to the bottom. So we added more wood
trim just to the bottom underneath it.
We added some wood legs to each side.
Filled in all the holes from the plastic decor.
Also filled in the older handle holes.
I purchased new antique bronze modern hardware.
Removed the back because it had a hole in it.
Added a new back.
All prepped and I was loving it!
It was coming out just like I had envisioned.
Primed it gray, then painted it in
Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray.
Added the new modern hardware.
I painted everything, all the inside cabinets areas.
Love it! So happy with the look!!

sale as is for a while.
I sanded it down and primed it.

I wanted the hardware to look all even. It was

It made it more difficult, but we did it.

Pulled this from my inventory.

Took out the handles on the top drawers
and added single pulls.

cabinet doors. Then added handles and centered
them in the middle of each cabinet door.

I love the color!
Left the interior bottom cabinet as is.
Color looks almost navy with some teal in it.

Italian Provincial Dresser Updated...
Had this in my inventory for sale as is
for about 7 months. It didn't sell so I pulled
it and did my own design on it.

customer orders. I can take my time and there is no rush.

Hardware was outdated.
I picked behr black bamboo for the color.
It's a beautiful soft medium green with less yellow in it.
More gray in it I think. I love it!
