Vintage Sidetable for Crafts, Kitchen or Sewing Room

 

Winter is coming and I have to clear out my studio. This little table is 44 inches wide, and 20 inches deep.

 

 

The body of the table is painted in a vintage green/blue with a white interior. The table has been sanded, painted, sanded and finished with a top coat (or two) of satin finish varathane for strength.

 

 

 

The drawer was in pretty rough shape so I just covered it with old magazine adds from the 1940s. My how some things have changed, and some not so much!

 

$125.

Updated Secretary Desk

This is another example of "poor man's oak" finish.  This delicate secretary desk is made from a variety of woods but was finished with a painted oak finish for a uniform look.

The hardware had to be replaced as it wasn't giving any support when the front was lowered to use as a desk.

Sanding, sanding and more sanding!

I painted the details of the secretary in a dark blue knowing that the darker colour would "show through" with a light sanding.

The hardware has been replaced including the side hinge, lock and key. I purchased the lock and key from a vintage hardware supplier.  It really is an exact duplicate of the original lock and key. It  does look original to the desk.

I softly distressed the overlay

The front of drawer was just too bland, so we added a wooden overlay. 

It really pops with the dark blue undercoat.

The desk is 52 1/2 inches tall with a width of 30 1/4 inches .  It is 10 1/2 inches wide from back to front. I did paint the letterbox white but have not reinstalled. 

$250.  

Shabby Chic Chalkboard

This antique frame is finished in a warm yellow, softly distressed to show off the wood overlay.

The chalkboard measures 24 inches tall and 32 1/2 inches wide.  I am pretty sure that at one time this was mirror frame, so it is well built and heavy.

We added a small chalk tray so you can always find that chalk!
