Two Black Beauties – Tuesday’s Treasures

I’m really excited to share these before and after pictures with you. This kidney shaped buffet is stunning! I loved it from the day I bought it. I really wanted to keep it myself, but decided that it was way too big for my living room. When we went to pick it up, it was on the 2nd floor of a house with a tiny staircase. Fun times! It’s probably the heaviest piece to date so I thought I might die carrying it with John. Lol! Then we remembered that there was another flight of stairs when we got outside. I don’t regret it though! This baby was worth it.

I put this piece on our Upcoming Projects page and it was much loved, three people wanted it on the first day. Thankfully, the first person to get back to me was Chad. He wanted to buy our Grey and Cream hutch on our Furniture For Sale page, but missed it by a couple hours to another family. I felt really badly about that and was thrilled that this beauty was going to his home.

Chad wanted all the original hardware and wanted it painted black and lightly distressed. I thought that would be perfect for this piece, too! We had quite a bit of veneer damage that you can’t see well in this picture. We used bondo to patch all of the damage and sanded it flat.

Here’s the finished product. O0h la la!

Chad also noticed this hall tree on our upcoming projects page and asked us to redo it to match the buffet.

We kept all of the original hardware, painted it black and distressed it a bit. I LOVE this piece! I’m pretty sure Chad and I have the exact same taste because all of the pieces I want to keep, he’s quick to grab. lol

After the love.

That’s not the end of this story… we delivered both pieces to Chad and Joe a couple of days ago. When we got there… I melted. Yupppp… designer gushing. Their house is better than any words I could think of to describe it. I had to try not to covet and my confession is that I failed. ;) Everything from their kitchen with a large black medallion over a elegant chandelier to their original subway tiled bathrooms… oh so perfect. On top of all that, they were uber nice to us. I had to bring the kiddos along last minute and they welcomed our family with kindness. The kids were even dancing. ;)

Thank you Chad and Joe for being such huge fans and sharing your beautiful home with us.

Happy redesigns everyone,
Sarah
