It makes things a lot easier if a client has a vision. If they can show me three pictures of what they like, I can usually come close to their vision. This was a dark mahogany stained server with great storage and in fantastic shape. My client wanted something rustic and distressed that sat flat on the floor. It took a few weeks to find but it was perfect. Painted in Benjamin Moore's Old Pickup blue mixed with plaster and then sealed in a dark wax.
I didn't know whether or not to leave the hardware or clean it up to a pretty shine. I bought this sideboard as a set with a matching china cabinet so I tried both finishes on the hardware. I liked the cleaned up version, but my client like the more rustic, untouched hardware.
See? Client with a vision really helps!
Right at home!
