The antique server is its original condition.
Here we have the before and after:
This is the condition the piece was in when I started working on it. Parts of the trim around the top were gone but I decided that it added character to the piece. I had just gotten some great ideas on what to do with the doors from Pinterest.com. It’s a great site, I highly recommend it.
There were many hours of love put into the effort of bringing my vision to life, but I have to say it was worth it!
And here it is! Just as I imagined it would look like.
I cleaned the original hardware and polished it. So all of the hardware is original except for the pull on the door that has the wallpaper on it. I gave the chest an uncover coat of green so it would show when I distressed the top layer of blue. The wallpaper is from my upstairs bathroom. It really lends an air of the tropics to the piece. Then I applied two coats of Miss Mustard Seed wax and voila.
Price $375 plus shipping, or it can be picked up. 🙂
