Bombay Keepsake Box in Shades of Grey

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.

This solidly built chest is made by Bombay and was originally a tea chest that sold for $129!!

It had a few dings that were lightly sanded then all surfaces were cleaned well

I just love the size and density of this wee Fusion brush

I used it to apply Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb over the entire outside surface including the hardware careful to leave the inner edges clean and original.

A wash of Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black was applied and the entire piece distressed to reveal more of the original finish thru the layers of paint.

To deepen and enrich the colors further, Fusion's black furniture wax was hand rubbed all over.

This beautiful chest is perfect to set on your coffee table with mementos like concert tickets, or healing stones or in your boudoir to catch all your sparkly jewels, or masculine enough for your man to display his watch collection.
