Hi friends!
I hope you had a good weekend! We had a really full weekend, as is typical for us, but it was good!
Today, I want to share about one of our recent furniture makeover stories. Having been the jumpstart of FunCycled, a good furniture flip really is my first love! What I happen to love even more about this particular story is that is features one of my favorite colors: Benjamin Moore Dark Harbor. In case you don’t know or haven’t been following for very long, our Repurposed Idea House features this color in our kitchen, specifically on our kitchen cabinets.
And speaking of Repurposed Idea House, don’t forget about the Fall Festival we are hosting on Saturday, October 5th, from 10 am 2 pm. Join us for house tours, lawn games, and warm waffles from our 336 Food Truck! To get all of the details, including your FREE tickets, go to FunCycled Fall Festival.
For client, Melissa, we have been meeting and working on design ideas for her home. Part of the plans included giving an old oak dresser a facelift. Take a look at this BEFORE photo. As you can see, the finish and hardware are pretty outdated, but the lines are good and it has some really interesting detail on the front of the middle drawers. I knew a painted refresh and some new hardware would bring it back to life!
And here are some after photos.
Notice how the blue allows those details to come through? And, of course, adding the right hardware is key!
Sometimes paint colors are hard to tell based on photos, but Dark Harbor is a rich jewel tone and can be classified as a teal color, meaning it is a mix of blue and green. Here are two swatches to share with you.
We selected coordinating knobs and drawer pulls in brushed gold finish. I love both of these! The texture is beautiful and they are reasonably priced! Find them linked below:
A huge thanks to Melissa for working with us and for letting us be part of this furniture project. We loved breathing new life into this special piece for your home!
