Reclaimed Vanity

You may have read an earlier blog about an antique dresser that we recently used to add some elegance to a bathroom reno… I had promised an “after” photo so here it is. I must admit that the timing of this blog isn’t exactly accidental, it actually coincides with an interview that I recently did on reclaimed pieces of furniture for Lifestyle Magazine. The article emphasizes the ‘green’ aspect of using reclaimed pieces and explains how they can add originality and character to your space. Have a read for yourself http://www.lifestylemagazine.ca/revitalized_refurbished_rooms, and enjoy the ‘after’ shot.

Antique Piece adds Elegance to Bathroom Reno

I just love a good find! Yesterday I was out shopping with a client for an antique piece of furniture that could be transformed into a beautiful vanity for their master bedroom. After pounding the pavement we found our piece tucked away under a load of nick-nacks in Passion for the Past on Queen West. The century old dresser has an elegant curvy frame with a beautiful apron and festoon detailing. This will really make for a one-of-a-kind vanity and will give the client the elegant look that she wanted. I will post some “after” photos so make sure you check back to see the transformation!
