Claw Foot Drum Table

Hello all!  I finished up another custom order.  This month is all about custom orders.  I have so many of my own pieces I will get my hands on soon enough!  It was delivered today and I think my client was more than happy.  Always good when the client sees the finished product and says it looks exactly like the inspiration picture she gave me! 

This was an Old Mersman Drum table.  I forgot to take a before picture.  It was beautiful but too dark and outdated.  I used ASCP in Old White and dark wax. 

The dark wax brought out the beautiful detailing in the pedestal.  So classic and so gorgeous!

And lets not forget about the claw feet...just one of many details on these antique pieces that make me swoon!

The pieces were delivered to Lolli's last week.  I need to wait for them to get set up in the store before I can snap my after pics.  Getting started on a custom French Provincial bedroom set for a client this week.

Gearing up for a busy February.  Exciting opportunities for East Street Design.  Can't wait to share with all of you very soon!

Happy Weekend My Friends!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!  I took a few days off but couldn't stay away for long.  Too much to do.  I started working on what I am sure will be my biggest transformation thus far.   I had these pieces dropped off and couldn't wait to get my hands on them.  These kind of things make me giddy!!

What are they you ask?!?!

They are vintage seller cabinets of course.

There is a new retail store opening up in Mariemont.  The name of the store is Lolli's.  Located across from the Mariemont Inn on Madisonville Rd.  It will be an eclectic mix of modern vintage gifts and accessories.  The owner Leah has an eye like no other and is constantly collecting ever-evolving finds that will make her store unique and just one more reason to visit the sweet little Village of Mariemont!

These pieces are being upcycled as display cabinets for the store.

They had been painted many, many years ago.  The paint was chipping pretty bad.  I sanded them down to get off as much of the old paint as I could.  Then I sprayed shellac all over to stop the old paint from chipping anymore.

And this is your sneak peak.

  Sorry, this is all you get for now.  I am of course using chalk paint because I absolutely LOVE this stuff!  Leah chose a sassy yet sophisticated deep grey blue that I mixed up.  I never truly know how something will look til I am elbow high in paint.  I knew these pieces would be great.  They were in such bad shape we could only go up.  But...I didn't know just how GREAT they would look!

Don't worry, I will show you more when they are all done.
