Customizable Reclaimed Wood Wall Shelves + Vintage Railroad Date Nail Coat Racks

These shelves + coat racks are fully customizable.  The shelves are hand-crafted from planks of reclaimed, 100-year-old wooden sub-flooring, and shipping pallet wood.  Each plank is sanded, stained, and sealed in an effort to accentuate the natural beauty of the wood grain and knots.  The solid cast iron brackets very in style.  A standard shelf measures: 10"D x 34"W.  However, both depth and width can be made to order.  The coat rack, which can be installed beneath the shelf, features a series of reclaimed steel railroad date nails of assorted numbers.  The number stamped on the nail heads indicates the year that it was made.  A "56" for example, would indicate the nail was manufactured in 1956.  Historically, nail heads were driven into railroad ties for record keeping purposes.  The shelf and the coat rack can be sold as a pair, or individually.  Prices range based on size, but generally, the shelf alone is around $160. The coat rack alone is around $100.  If purchased together, the ensemble is around $260. We can ship within the U.S.

Gray MCM Dresser/Credenza - SOLD

This handsome mid-century modern chest of drawers has the simple, classic, clean lines that we love. We refinished this piece with two hand-painted coats of a Benjamin Moore premium semi-gloss paint over two coats of BIN primer.  The tapered wooden legs are also refinished.  All nine drawers slide well, and are solidly constructed with dovetail joints.  For a little extra spice, we lined the drawers with a designer wall covering featuring a geometric lace print.  The original brass drawer pulls have a beautiful natural patina.  This is a very versatile, statement worthy piece of furniture.  It would be excellent for storage in any room.  This chest of drawers measures: 60"W x 18"D x 30"H.

Customizable Full-Size Jenny Lind Bed - SOLD

Professionally refinishing spindle beds is very tedious work, but the result (and the impact that these pieces have on a room) is stunning.  We now have in our hands this lovely antique Jenny Lind bed frame.  It is solidly crafted, and was most likely manufactured in the late 1800s (prior to 1870, when box-springs were invented and bed sizes became standardized).  In the past, we have received inquiries from our clients regarding custom colors on Jenny Lind beds, so we decided to post before photos of this one to re-gauge that interest.  This particular one includes a headboard, a foot board, and two wooden size rails (which are not pictured).  The space between the side rails on this bed is not a standard width for accommodating a full/double size box spring, so we plan to build a solid platform that will rest atop the rails. This platform will eliminate the need for a box spring.  The height of the platform will be approximately 17" from the floor, which would be a comfortable height for a child.  Fully assembled, this bed frame measures: 53 1/4"W x 80"L.  The head board is 37"H.  The foot board is 35"H.  Our price for fully customizing this bed is $775, with local delivery included.  We can have this bed finished and delivered within one week of purchase.

Here are some photos of spindle beds that we have done in the past:

White Broyhill Sculptra MCM Highboy - SOLD
