Le Table-SOLD

SOLD

I'm sure my French terminology is all wrong but the picture says it all. This nightstand/end table  is so precious she should be called Cosette. ( Can you tell my sister dragged me to see Le Mis?) The blue/green color is a  perfect complement to the beautiful original french provincial pulls.

Queen of Consoles- Sold

SOLD
I'm always amazed at how a Queen Ann console can take on so much personality with the right shade of paint.  This lady is painted a slightly distressed off white with a vintage wax finish. the carved shell is an added ornament.  She is happy to hold court behind your sofa or in your hallway.  Perhaps as a writing desk? Measurements to follow.

Pretty in Pink- SOLD


Molly Ringwald's character  would have snatched this up in an instant!  The antique nightstand made of solid mahogany has the most beautiful carved rosettes on either side of the curved top drawer.  The rosettes and fluting insets are white with the cutest pink finishing off the entire piece.  All hardware are the original brass oval pulls.

From Provence-Sold

My friend Mary Angela just returned from closing her summer house in France for the Fall and she brought me these two adorable chairs. They are country french in style, have their original rush seat and are painted that grey/beige that makes everything look so sophisticated. Okay,  I really can't confirm that these came from France but I do have a friend named Mary Angela. They will be resting comfortably in the Estrella showroom until they find a new home.

Bamboo Bar Cabinet

This adorable bamboo cabinet just begs you to saunter over and make someone a cocktail and tell them a fascinating story about how you acquired such a cool addition to you home.  The drawer pulls are like beautiful brass earrings from India.  The outside is painted in an off white with rustic detailing.  The inside is a surprise of spring green and the drawer on top has adorable drawer liner.  Not shown is the brass key that opens the magic doors!

Dark Shadows Glamour-Sold

I think this cool vintage candelabra could be one Banabas Collins had in the 1960's series Dark Shadows. Made of iron it has a great fretwork legs and bases for five candles.

Bed Frame Bench Redux-Sold

I was so happy with my last bed frame bench and so was the woman who took it home, that I thought I'd make another.  This one was made with an antique bed frame with amazing spindle details.  Its finished with an off white paint and slightly distressed finish.
