Teak Dining Table w/ Leaf - SOLD

This teak dining table was manufactured mid-century.  Phil and I hand-picked it because we love simplicity of its lines and the quality of its build.  It is in excellent, like new condition.  We stripped the existing finish on the entire table and used a mix of Danish and tung oils to achieve our desired color and protective finish.  It has one leaf, which we also refinished.  Without the leaf this table measures: 59"W x 40"D x 29"H.  With the leaf it measures: 69"W.  The legs come off for easy transport.  We offer a delivery service to our clients, as needed. Our fee varies based on your location.

Commissioned Teak Media Console - SOLD

This mid-century modern media console was a commissioned project for a Blue Lamb client.  To give this console a fresh look, we removed the skirt at the base, and we added some tapered wooden legs.  The oil color that we wanted to use on the teak (Watco Danish Oil in Red Mahogany) seemed to be the only color that our local hardware stores didn't carry, so we had to special order it.  We thought if we painted one of the panels white, the piece would be more unique, and it would play well with some of the existing design elements in our client's room.  We couldn't have been more pleased with the result.  Here is the after photo:

Dipped Vintage Children's Table - SOLD

Phil and I were gifted this darling vintage table by our daughter's preschool, and it just happens to fit perfectly with our paint dipped children's chairs.  Love the combo.  We hand painted the lower portion of these table legs with Benjamin Moore Advance white semi-gloss paint.  We treated the upper portion of the table with a wipe on polyurethane finish to protect the wood from moisture and wear.  The table measures: 32 1/4"W x 23"D x 21 1/2"H.

Paul McCobb-Inspired Shelving Unit - SOLD

Phil and I re-purposed and refinished parts from a hutch that was manufactured mid-century to create this shelving unit.  The styling of it was inspired by a Paul McCobb modular credenza that we restored last year.  The finish on the interior is two hand-painted coats of gray Benjamin Moore Advance semi-gloss paint over primer.  We treated the exterior with mixture of tung and linseed oils to accentuate the beauty of the wood grain and to protect the wood from moisture and wear.  This piece measures: 44 1/2"W x 18"D x 30"H.  The space above the bottom shelf is 7 1/2" H.  The spaces above the top two shelves are: 6 3/4"H.
