Drexel Buffet in Country Grey

Beautiful Drexel buffet painted in Country Grey.  This is the first time I've used this color paint without mixing it with something else.  It's very khaki in color and hard to photograph.  I took one picture with a white pillow in front of it for color comparison.  This piece would look amazing in a nursery as a changing table with a dark wood crib!

Davis Cabinet Co.

This is another CL find, but was located in a thrift store in the town my parents live in so I sent them right over!  It's nice and chunky and really well made. I didn't even have to repair anything, just gave it a good cleaning. Four large drawers for lots of storage and a mix of the Empire and Federal style I think - let me know if I'm wrong.  :)  I mixed Old White with Country Grey to make the Country Grey just a little brighter.  It's my new favorite white, it has a nice depth to it and has more personality than Old White on it's own - pictures really don't do the color justice.

Empire in Coco

I really want this one in my son's room, but he doesn't really have the space.  If it doesn't sell in the next couple of weeks though I am going to rearrange and make space!  There is a chest in my garage that he wants for his room that will go nicely with this piece so we'll see.  I painted it in Coco with his room in mind just in case.  :)  The top has been re-stained in dark walnut and sealed with General Finishes flat poly.  The casters were missing when I bought it so I added some to give it a little more height.  This piece would work well as a TV stand or a large nightstand.
