Highlights from March
Martha Leone
CUSTOM ORDER JOHN STUART DRESSER
The asymmetrical drawer design is highlighted when the paint is draped over the top, stopping just beneath the top drawers.
CUSTOM ORDER HERITAGE DRESSER
An example of my favorite approach to mid century furniture: Highlight the wood veneer by sanding to the raw then sealing with satin poly. This approach brings out the beauty of the natural wood. The casing was painted in White Dove by Benjamin Moore.
CUSTOM ORDER DIXIE TALLBOY
Working with this shade of blue was a first for me. It compliments the warm tones in the wood and helps transform this piece into a unique statement piece.
BASSETT CREDENZA FROM MAYAN COLLECTION
As custom orders poured in this month, I was able to finish only two pieces for my online shop. This piece was painted in a subtle graphite metallic paint. Drawer fronts were sanded to the raw and sealed.
CUSTOM ORDER RWAY DRESSER
This piece was finished in two shades of metallics and scratched with 80 grit sand paper to
add texture. The brass hardware was painted the same color as the drawer fronts to tone down their distinctive design.
MID CENTURY DRESSER
The beautiful wood veneer was complimented with my signature gray color, Dark Natural Gray and my favorite drawer knobs for mid century pieces were added.
