One of the best things about working with Chelsea is her impeccable eye. She's always on the lookout for good pieces that could really make a magical moment for a potential client - even scouting used unique pieces to get our clients the best deals. And sometimes, she finds the most amazing mid-century modern tallboy for an unreal price at the thrift store and not only buys it for you, but throws it in her minivan and drops it off at your workshop so you have a new piece to play with...

SAAAY WHAT?!?! Thanks boo! And to top it all off, she even gave me the idea to go griege again. Chelsea, I guess you could say you're my muse ;)

After custom-mixing a greige to refinish this piece from 2016, I have been kicking myself for not color matching the mix for future projects.

I decided to try out Silver Drop by Behr Paint and found it to be a close match in warm undertones but definitely a lighter shade.

The piece features its original round tapered legs. I originally thought I would paint them to complete the copycat look but once I started on this piece, I couldn't bring myself to.

I decided to also keep the original knobs but switched out the bar pulls for brass buckle-style ones I repurposed from another piece.

Do you recognize them?

I actually bought that other piece because of those pulls but once I got my hands on it, realized the body wasn't even worth saving. So I kept the hardware and repurposed the drawers in an unconventional industrial shelving unit. These pulls remind me of that scene from "PS I Love You" where she flings the belt buckle across the room and discovers she wants to design shoes - ha!

For styling I had some help from Spring (who finally decided to show up) and Mela Artisans who have some beautiful flat weave rugs...

...and these EPIC cutting boards in unusual shapes!
