What's my "style"....
As I have said time and again (and evident by my Home Tour) my "style" is very eclectic. What exactly does that mean?
It means I like what I like and because my home is not all "farmhouse" or "traditional" or "mid century" I can pretty much find a place for any piece I fall in love with.
As I mentioned in my last post my son Matt is buying his first home so I have been on the hunt for pieces that can be transformed and used in his house. Taylor, my daughter-in-law, asked me what Matt's decor style is...hum...not sure I ever asked him. Fortunately, like me, he likes what he likes and doesn't restrict himself to a specific style. He loves the mid century Lane Acclaim tables, but he also loves the farmhouse table I refinished several months ago! I promised him that if it didn't sell, he could have it for his dining area. I have picked up a few chairs and a round oak pedestal table for his breakfast nook. I'll share them when I get their "facelift" done!
In the meantime I want to share this nifty dresser. Seriously horrid in it's original condition, but I could see the potential.
Solid wood and very well built...and unique!
I think it could be an awesome piece in his bedroom, along with this little dresser, but I'm not sure I have convinced him it is worthy....but then again, he hasn't seen it finished!
I absolutely LOVE this piece, especially the old rusty hardware. Matt asked if I could put cup pulls on it like the little dresser, but honestly, this hardware too cool... so unique and amazing. I cleaned them up and reattached them...rust and all! I just think they are awesome!
I chalk painted and distressed the cabinet and gel stained the top. The drawer fronts are latex paint.
As I said before, if he still doesn't love it, someone else will!
That is the great thing about being "eclectic"...to each his own!
