The cutest little set you ever did see! This tall boy and side table were left to fend for themselves on the side of the road :(. Who knew some TLC, paint and stain could turn them into a beautiful pair that would be perfect in any home.
I wasn’t a fan of the original base of these pieces, so I got to work with my hammer and chisel to remove it and replace it with a bottom that was a bit sleeker and simpler. The new base makes them look much less dated.
The base of the piece including the cane webbing has been painted in Capsule Collection in the colour ‘Woodsmoke’ which has an elegant eggshell finish. The top and new k***s are coated in Stain and Varnish in Liming White for a washed effect on the exposed wood. There is definitely some character in this piece as I wasn’t able to make it 100% perfect but that’s what I love about refinished furniture; the life it’s lived.
What was once on the side of the road, ready to be taken to the tip, is now a show-stopping pair that would make a staple piece in your home.
This tallboy and bedside table are available for purchase, if you are interested, please message or email me. Local pickup Capalaba, Queensland or can deliver within the area for an additional fee.

Side table - 445L x 390W x 550H

I made some big mistakes with this one 😂😂 super happy with the finished product but my first attempt at refinishing this piece was not it (scroll along to see the pictures).
I originally sanded it all back and put a coat of poly on it, and of course it went orange. I had to sand it back again, white wash the top and painted the bottom to create this ‘dipped’ look. It tested my patience but it turned out so cute and would be a perfect statement piece! ✨🦋

When I saw this tv cabinet I just knew what I had to do with it! A nursery wardrobe of course! The bones for this project were perfect 🙌🏻 I painted it in a burnt orange, changed the colour of the rattan and added a gold rail to hang the cute little clothes from 🥺 I sprayed the original hinges and screw caps and added new hardware. I’m so impressed with how this one turned out and can’t wait to see it in it’s new home. This piece is currently available 🎉 Swipe for before picture.

I transformed this tall boy with the idea that it would look so beautiful in a nursery 😍 I sanded back the top and white washed it with Liming White. I’ve painted it using in French Green ✨ This piece is currently available so if you’re interested send me a DM. Swipe for the before picture 🌿

Well this one was all over the place 😂 I originally wanted to do a full wooden piece, that turned into baby blue retro and then that turned into this, I would call it glam/ art deco? I added moulding to the draw fronts to add a bit of character to this pretty plain piece ✨ I used in Riverstone, I will forever been obsessed with this colour 😍 Who voted for the darker colour?? Let me know what you all think 🌿
