Orange Mid Century Credenza (for sale) – Tuesday’s Treasures

Hi Friends,

How are you? I hope you’re having a great week! I was out of town this weekend, celebrating our 15 year anniversary while also checking out a new interior design job I’m working on in Cape Cod. John had never been to Cape Cod and we both loved every minute of it.

Starting with the beach of course…

We also checked out the Heritage Museum and Gardens. If you’re in Cape Cod, this is a really pretty stop if you like gardening. So many beautiful trees and flowers. The museum also had really neat old cars and old race cars.

The next day we went to Nantucket Island for the day. A first for both of us and WOW, WOW, WOW! It was so stunning and quaint. Straight out of the movies! I didn’t take that many pictures because we brought our bikes and spent a lot of the day biking around the island. Here are a few though:

Last, but definitely not least! We went on a whale watch! This was one of John’s bucket list items and he was thrilled! We were able to see two types of whales and they came pretty close to the boat!

I highly recommend a trip to Cape Cod if you haven’t already gone there. So, so beautiful. It also makes me want to do some paintings of the water or even a ocean dresser… how beautiful would that be?

For this week’s makeover, I wanted to show you another mid century piece that we recently added to the store. Here it is before:

I loved how this piece had a door with storage behind it and the drawers. That makes it useful in so many spaces. It could be a dresser, entertainment center or even a buffet.

We painted the box and door electric orange by Benjamin Moore, but refinished the drawers in a darker, warmer brown. I loved the contrast and thought the doors were so beautiful! If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. After we painted it, we lightly distressed it, and sprayed a protective clear coat over the top.

Ready for the after?

 

What a transformation!! Am I right?? This beauty is up on our For Sale page, but my gut says it won’t last long so snatch it up if you love it friends. The crates are included in the sale. If this isn’t quite what you’re looking for, we have more. Check out some of the many new pieces on our For Sale page now:
