BP John Furniture Corp. Buffet


Another completion this weekend was this sleek BP John Furniture Corp buffet

Clean, minimalist styling with black enamel cupped drawer pulls





The craftsmanship on this piece is readily apparent

Could function as a dresser in a small home or apartment, with room for shoe storage on the left


A sturdy, stylish piece - SOLD!

Vintage mid century buffet / dry bar

This is one of the most unique pieces I have worked on to date. It was already in pretty good shape, but the top is now refinished and we lightened the decorative door features and handles so they really stood out like they should. Here's the final result:

Enough storage underneath for bottles and barware, with a closing lid 

A locking lid props up to allow your barware to be displayed

All closed up and ready for daytime

 The beautiful walnut grain is finally visible after we replaced the original opaque finish with a danish oil treatment.

The sweeping details on the door were lightened to give them additional visibility, a design detail that we felt was worth highlighting. 

 Petite bar sets fit perfectly in this area, think cut glass whiskey tumblers and early century champagne glasses. Anything larger stows away underneath, but this section is meant for a beautiful presentation.

This is a very unique piece and we had a great time working on it.  - SOLD!

American of Martinsville Coffee Table



This one is finally complete after a lot of hard work and restoration! Take a look at the newest piece for sale, a gorgeous American of Martinsville coffee table with inlaid metal X's at each corner - SOLD!

The grain on this piece is so pristine and rich
The inlaid metal X at each corner really pops, it takes it from a clean slab table to something really special with that added detail
