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.

Removing Graffiti and Restoring Wooden Frame Art Easel


This artist easel just needed a good power sand and rehydration of the wood and it is ready to get creative once again.



I recognized the name of a good customers daughter once I had a good look at the easel so shared with her I now had her easel. It was also her nephew too who left his mark.


It was given a good power sand with my Festool orbital sander on all the frame surfaces.


Ah, much better


The wood was rehydrated with Fusion furniture wax. It absorbs into the wood easily then the excess wiped back leaving a soft smooth finish.


and just that easily it is back looking good as new, ready to let the little ones create.


This side is a dry erase board and magnetic board


With the other side a chalkboard. There is also a wooden dowel that holds paper to go over the frame for painting and other crafts.

It was the perfect birthday gift for my granddaughter paired with a roll of paper, paints, pots, brushes, magnetic letters and a paint smock.
