It’s been 8 months since my last post.
8 months since I’ve worked on furniture.
It’s been 8 months of Hell, to be honest.

Divorcing my emotionally abusive husband.
Fighting for custody of my boys.
Leaving the church I was a part of for eight years.
Figuring out how the hell to survive as a single mom - financially and mentally.
Selling the house that I poured 4 years of labor into until it was my dream home.
Buying a new house.
Moving.
Replacing a section of fence a week after moving into my new place.
Finding rotted subfloor in my new house from a leaky fridge and spending thousands of dollars and dozens of hours to fix it.
Replacing another run of fence after another storm.

This is far from my favorite piece I’ve done, but it represents me coming back to myself. Recovering a bit of sanity. I’m finally at a point where I can create beauty again. ❤️

(It’s also for sale for $250 if you’re interested)

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted new furniture! The last few pieces were custom pieces that I forgot to stage/photograph before they got picked up.

But here these are. They’re from pottery barn originally. Solid wood. Possibly mahogany? And they could be yours for $525.

Their actual names are “Dyson” and “Darla,” but I’ve been calling them Biscuits and Gravy.

Veneer never fully recovers from being painted.

Countless coats of stripper still couldn’t lift all the stubborn bits of paint. And sanding veneer without ruining it is tricky. So if you’re looking for a slightly blemished set of MCM dressers at a highly discounted rate, look no further.

$400 for the set

Chest
47” tall
18” deep
32” wide

Dresser
50”wide
18” deep
34” tall

Mirror
38” wide
29.5” tall

Bassett dresser and chest with mirror. These mid century modern pieces are very sturdy and well built with solid wood and dovetailed drawers. Hardware has been updated but I have the original hardware if you want it. Drawers all work.

The dressers were painted when I bought them. I used several coats of stripper, but there were a few stubborn patches where the paint was stuck deep in the wood grain. Because of that, the stain looks a bit patchy on a few sections ad you can see in the video and in the photos. The price reflects these blemishes.

If you love this style but it’s not quite what you’re looking for, follow me on marketplace! I post several new things each month. I also do custom work.

Pickup in Cordova near Macon/Germantown parkway. I accept Venmo, cash app, PayPal, and cash. I do NOT accept Zelle or personal checks. I can deliver for an additional fee based on distance from Cordova. I can hold it for you if you send prior payment or a deposit, but due to being ghosted so many times, I operate on a first come first serve basis.

Holiday sale!

Pickup only. Offer valid now through July 5.

$395 for the set

Dimensions of dresser:
17.75” deep
66” wide
34” tall

Dimensions of chest:
17.75” deep
35” wide
56.75” tall

These two dressers have been primed, painted with a deep navy blue, and finished with polycrylic for added durability. Copper toned drawer pulls really shine against the deep blue hue of the drawers. Natural wood trim at the bottom and natural wooden legs provide a refreshing and stark contrast against the dark body of the dresser. Both pieces are smoke free. They are very sturdy and heavy, but they are not solid wood. All drawers slide easily. The door on the low dresser swings open on its own occasionally, but lifting up while closing it rectifies this issue.
