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.

Little Vintage Stool


This sweet little vintage stool sat forlornly on the thrift store shelf


but even thru the layers of paint; a few of them not applied so well with drips and haphazard application. I knew it could really shine again.


The poor legs were wobbly and uneven and seemed to be held in place with a rubbery glue.


I cut the glue off and dug around the edges eventually getting them out. 


The holes were cleaned out well and the legs and seat power sanded on all sides.


The legs were glued with wood glue and once set in correct position I set the solid wood magazine rack I was working on at the same time on top to keep the whole piece drying level.


Now that is was dry I added Fusion ageing wax  to enhance the wood edges revealed with the sanding and add to the aged look.


Isn't it sweet?
