Smokey Ash French Provincial Nightstands



A few weeks back, I found this pair of French Provincial Nightstands at the Flea Market.  
Before:
The nightstands are well made by Stanley Furniture Co., but they needed a little care to be pretty again.  I pulled out Smokey Ash by  The Urban Rooster and got to town painting.  After two quick coats of paint, I sealed the nightstand with Tung oil and dark wax.  This grey color is a very pretty and warm and I love it. 

 My pictures are not that great since I had a bout 5 mins to take them before the pair was picked up.  A buyer came for a dresser and wanted to know if I had any nightstands, so I showed her this pair and she bought them.

    I don't normally like gray, but these pieces are gorgeous. Love that aqua stool, too!

    I love gray,,,whether for clothing or furniture. To me they are the chicest neutral. These nightstands have the perfect shape and color to fit into any decor.

    Isn't that just the best when you sell more than planned to one client - congrats! It still never ceases to amaze me how a piece of furniture can be completely transformed from ugly to drop dead gorgeous with skilled hands a can of paint. Gorgeous!

    So pretty. I can see why the buyer would want these too. They are very pretty and have beautiful character to them.
    Have a great week.

      Thank you Kris-I am glad the buyer took them, she actually came back and bought some of the Smokey Ash paint too so she could paint her dresser!

    Gorgeous transformation! I love these. You know, my life would be so much easier if I just sent my furniture and projects to you for you to do for me! LOL I've got a table I need to tackle and have been putting it off. I do not have good luck with these things! You do gorgeous work!!!
