Wedding Bells


My cousin tied the knot over the July fourth weekend, and as I was remiss in actually sending a wedding gift after I had placed a selection in my online shopping cart (I don't want to talk about how often that happens), he and his lovely new wife got a custom Hazelnuts piece instead.

My new cousin-in-law (is that a thing?) has a great vintage-chic taste, and her inspired wedding decor reflected that. I can't wait to see the pics. She also has a strong eye for envisioning potential, so when she bypassed all of the eye-catching French-provincial, shabby, and mid-century pieces I showed her and dug out this chunky vintage end table I've had lying around forever, I was so excited. I love this piece.


Having been around from the 70's and having seen a lot of wear, it needed plenty of love to get it back into a state fit to grace a newlywed home. But I think we got there.





The newlyweds chose a fresh white paint and a lovely smoky tobacco glaze, as well as some new hardware to give a more modern touch to this tired piece. 




The chunky legs and side details pick up the distressing so perfectly! 


The drawer got a little splash of green and some fun paper liner for the requisite dash of whimsy, OF COURSE.


It's a solid piece, regardless of the years it has already seen. It's all ready to begin a new life along with this wonderful couple as they start their adventure together. Much love to you both!
