A while back I received a message from Lesley asking if I wanted to pick up this sideboard and it's matching hutch for FREE!!!!!😀😀😀😀
When I got to the house I was met by Lesley and her awesome family. We chatted for a while as we loaded my truck. I ended up having to take 2 trips since the pieces were large and once there I was offered an additional headboard and footboard I could not pass up.
Once home, I started sanding the hutch and sideboard taking advantage of the warm weather.
I decided to paint this piece in Bayberry from FMP and added some further detail to the overlays by drybrushing using Coal Black from FMP.
Three coats of paint were applied to the body while the top was stained in Dark Walnut. After the drybrushing was done, a coat of homemade food grade beeswax was added for protection. The stain was protected with 3 coats of polycrylic topcoat.
All the drawers were spruced up with beeswax as well as the sliders for smooth functioning drawers.
The existing knobs and pulls were cleaned then blasted with satin bronze and oil rubbed bronze to give it a textured antique look.
I would like to thank Lesley and her awesome family for this piece and two others. I also want to thank Tina at the Barn Door Studio for the purchase of the Bayberry. I know she is a fan of this colour, so I hope she likes it.😀
In a dining room or a living room with a big screen T.V. on it, this badboy will be a showstopper in any room.
