I was so excited when my client opened up the back of the trailer and this and a matching buffet were sitting there! I absolutely love these Depression Era hutches. This one has birds eye maple for the trim work (some of you might be cursing me for painting over it), but there was a lot of veneer damage and someone had already refinished it previously, so.... ;)
After discussing colors in the room where it would be we decided black was her best option. I've done a lot of black in the last few years, and at times I think, "Not black AGAIN...", but it really is timeless and so beautiful when finished.
BEFORE
I took these pictures in a hurry because we seemed to be having a windstorm at the time and all kinds of garbage was flying in my clean garage! :)
AFTER
There is so much detailing on these two pieces and I love how the distressing makes them pop.
This is my favorite part of the whole piece! Lol
Great legs! I used these knobs because she isn't sure what she wants yet and I happened to have two of them in my stash. I still love them though.
I will be gone for the next two days so the buffet should be finished by the end of the week!
Soooo beautiful! I see what you mean about "black again?" but you're right...it is SO timeless and simply gorgeous!!

Wow! What a fantastic piece to work with, and you did it so incredibly well!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting job - it's an AWESOME piece. Not fond of the nobs, but they're temporary so that's good I guess lol. LOVE black painted furniture. Never get sick of seeing it, I assure you! Well done, it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out absolutely gorgeous! Love the lines....and I love black furniture, too!
ReplyDeleteOh I love how this turned out! I still haven't painted any furniture black yet. I seem to be stuck in a rut with the blues and whites. What type of paint did you use on this one?
ReplyDeleteIt's All Surface Enamel in stock black from Sherwin Williams :)
