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.

Wood and Metal Farmhouse Riser


I am all about recycling, reusing and repurposing,


so when I saw this metal base laying forlornly at the local dump's take it or leave it I took it home. It was awhile before I found the perfect partner for it; this solid wood cutting board.


They make the perfect pair. Both were scrubbed then the cutting board was power sanded with my orbital sander till smooth and most knife marks removed. Leaving a few of course gives the piece true character of its past.


Using General Finishes antique walnut gel stain both sides were stained this rich brown color.


All 3 projects above are the same stain color but shows how the wood makes them all unique. See the dining table and the antique vanity completed.

Both sides were hand rubbed with dark wax to seal and give a lovely warm sheen.


My handy husband drilled holes thru the salvaged metal stand so I could screw the stand to the cutting board.


It is complete and such a great collaboration between two pieces married to make one don't you think?
