It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a new piece! Just life happening, but I’m excited to show you this stunner. This vintage piece was in amazing shape, but had an old damaged finish. I wanted to change up the tone of the wood (before color seen in last photo). I love the new depth of color, I went darker than I usually do with walnut pieces. This sideboard is so much larger than others I’ve worked on in the past and would really command a room. It’s ready for its next life! Sold!
I have a soft spot for furniture pieces from the 1800s, I love giving them new life and restoring them as best I can to their original glory. While most of the pieces I work on are older than me, 130+ years is a different kind of impressive. This extra tall gal is available in Chicagoland! Message me for details! It’s a rare late 1800s boarding house or “Wellington dresser” which features a side panel intended to lock all the drawers for safe keeping. It’s a Victorian dresser in the Eastlake style made of solid walnut. While it is quite old, it’s fully functional. I’ve done some restoring and some refreshing to this piece to give it new life. The top has been fully refinished due to a lifetime of wear. The drawers have been repaired, the interiors sanded and sealed to provide a fresh slate. It would have once held a mirror or other adornment on top hence the three holes that remain. I choose not to fill these in as no filler would compare to 100+ year old solid walnut. 39 wide x 55.5 tall x 20 deep. SOLD

Restoration for this mid-century modern beauty! Last three pictures are some of the “before.” Solid wood construction with walnut veneer. Fully stripped, repaired, sanded, stained, toned, and sealed 🙌 I absolutely love bringing walnut back to life. This piece sold before it hit the feed!
