The Discarded Workshop

Vintage oak nightstands.

$350 for the pair

These nightstands are made of a combination oak veneer over plywood and solid oak. Are very sturdy and well made. Drawers are on runner and open and close smoothly. Stained black means the lovely oak grain comes through, offering a beautiful look and texture. Finished in satin lacquer.

Dimesions 25"h x18w× 18d

Please note they were built at a time where new pieces had tiny little holes to make them look "vintage" this does not in any way effect the use of the piece but adds a little quirk.

Pine ages the most beautifully of all woods. Is a hill I will die one.

Here are a couple transformations that really wowed me the last couple of months.

The first was this antique pine table if you followed my stories I had dated it to around 1860s. The real star was the top, this stunning clear pine. Once the old oil based poly was stripped back just allowed the the grain to shine and had incredible chatoyancy. I tried to keep the sanding minimal to keep the deep knife marks and pot burn marks visible.
Now a secret, that I swore I would never do. The legs, were solid walnut, and I painted over them (shocks and gasps of horror can be heard). They were covered in lead paint that would have been cumbersome and too time consuming to remove entirely, also dark legs would have taken away from the top which was now the star. Paint has always been used on furniture and keeping the legs light, I think means this table will be used for generations to come! I still chuckled to myself the entire time I was painting though

The next was this really beat up mid century small buffet, it was in bad condition and super dated, however after the repairs were made, 3 coats of this lovely soft white, really transformed the buffet for future use.

Lastly the chair, a neighbor had tossed out because the cane failed. So they trusted me to weave a new seat that I was pleasantly pleased with!
