  • Well lookey, lookey here. We’ve had a few customers looking for a kitchen island for a home, so when we saw this repurposed buffet it immediately triggered the idea of why not think outside the kitchen island box? This French provincial style in its natural wood finish looks amazing in this home. Add a granite top for preparing foods easily, or you can even work with the natural wood of the piece. Drawers can hide items like utensils, dishes, pots and pans and more. Creativity can take your home a long way!



  • Great bones go a long way! We lucked up and found this beautiful Thomasville French Provincial dresser on Craigslist and knew it was a piece that just needed a little bit of upcycling to truly go a long way.

    White paint takes the 30 year-old dresser from traditional to a nice and fresh shabby chic style that it sure to brighten any room. The mirrors were removed to make the piece double as a dresser and media cabinet, which is perfect for the small spaces that define New Orleans architecture.

    This upcycled beauty found a home in an Uptown loft, where we know it will make the owner happy for years to come!
