More rustic benches, 3 new styles

French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by Malcolm Furniture here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

The original rustic bench post had so much interest I had my carpenter create 3 more, each a different style and size. Again I went with Old Fashioned Milk Paint, the perfect paint for raw wood and blending.

Style center brace was painted in Old Fashioned Milk Paint sea green, tavern green : federal blue 50/50, and soldier blue

Style solid front edge was painted Old Fashioned Milk Paint sea green, driftwood and buttermilk

Style cross corner was painted in Old Fashioned Milk Paint sea green, tavern green : federal blue 50/50, and oyster white

All were sealed with Varathane polycrylic, two of them with the outdoor variety as they were custom done for a deck and were detailed with Daddy Van's black wax.
