Farewell Nerney Dressers

Blog entry June 25 2012
Well this is about a year after I started this blog and it's time to say good bye. It's bitter sweet as I have 4 pieces of furniture ranging from completed to in progress sitting on the curb. It was not worth the hassle of not having a presentable home. I will miss not completing in particular one piece that was nearly done. I hope someone nice picks it up and does someting pretty with it.

Nerney Dressers...

Media Console/ Entertainment unit

When I found this gem it was not so pretty, broken hardware, stickers covered the side. My helpers worked to clean off the stickers.

Drawers were falling apart. With a little vision and somehelp from the hubby walla! Here it is!

This former dresser has lots of life left and makes an exceptional Space for a media console. Pictured is a 42 inch TV. Console has been hand painted in a soft cream with a slight Tea glaze.
One drawer to hold all your remotes or Game controllers. The Jewelry of the console is the 4 ANTIQUE VINTAGE GLASS LINCON DRAPE BUTTERSCOTCH KNOBS made in Italy, they are absolutely beautiful.
Don't want to use it for your TV? No problem this versatile cabinet can easily be used in the foyer or any other spot to hold accent pieces photo frames, baskets, blankets or towels.

Local pick up is available

* Items on the console are not for sale, Display purpose only.

Teal Coffee Table

I'm getting discouraged.... Nothing seems to be getting any bites and my house is becoming a storage facility! HELP I need to move these pieces. SOooooo what I've done is re syled the black distressed coffee table and the End table with stars. Both are now teal / distressed... I hope these move faster. AND I have the re claimed window completed 4 over 4 pane chalk board with chalk holder and my first Keep Calm and Carry on with a hook!

Beach Turquoise Dresser

IT's now done and up for sale the Beachy 6 drawer dresser.  Finished in DIY Chalk paint a black glaze wash and Annie Sloan soft wax.  All new hardware too. OH and this dresser is on Castors which makes it somewhat easier to move around.

Accessory Closet

I picked up a petit Maple china cabinet that I can't wait to paint up and turn in to a Shoe closet!
it has 3 shelves, 1 drawer and two cabinet doors. What a perfect piece and size to house shoes, purses, scarves. etc... Below is the before picture stay tuned for the after.
Also one of my husbands clients droped off a vintage RCA Victor TV cabinet they will go halves on after I paint it... We are thinkng Wine rack/glass cabinet! :-)

stay tuned...

End Table

The Buffet table Sold! And I have the end table ready to be sold.

Take a look

Little Black Cabinet

WOW this little cabinet packs  a lot of WOW factor.
and to think it would have seamed to me my hubby was not all bout going to pick it up. We saw it curbside while looking for open houses last Weekend. What a difference a week makes. we did eventually go to pick it up. I was sure the folks would have pulled it back inside or other wise disposed of it. But as luck would have it, it was still there with the FREE sign on it. So into the SUV it went and it sat in the car until Friday. I got to it with in moments of it being unloaded then off to a baseball game for my son, they won!
(this one's on Tee Ball, they all win :-)  My extradonairy husband picked out the hardware and photographed it. And to think I picked this up with the thougth painting it up real quick and getting it out of the house to donate to a raffle... Rememer the where are we going to keep it delima my hubby keeps reminding me of..? well he and everyone else liked it so much they decided if we are not keeping it we have to sell it because we can't just give it away... I'll find another piece to re finishe and donate... :-) it's all good!
