Before and After: Black Distressed French Provincial TV Stand

So sorry for the blogging hiatus. I promise to post much more regularly for the next few weeks. I finally finished touch up painting and little details on this little beauty. Here's the before:

And here's the after:





For sale is a striking French provincial TV stand that has been painted a semi-gloss black and was then lightly distressed. This solid piece of furniture is from the Heritage line, and is in very good condition. It measures 64" wide x 24" deep x 42" high. It would make an excellent TV stand, but could also be used as a dresser or even a changing table. $355. Local pick up in Mesa, AZ only. Cash or credit/debit* accepted.

(*All credit/debit transactions will be charged a 3% fee.)

Some Updates

Well, my kids didn't cooperate. What a surprise. So I only got the night stand and the TV stand done. I have a few family matters I have to work on this week so I will be unavailable from now until Monday to answer emails or phone calls. I thought I'd whet your appetite, though, and give you a hint of what's going to be for sale on Monday. (I will have much better pictures that are actually staged then as well as dimensions.)

Remember this?
It is now this:

I don't love how the caning looks distressed so I'll probably paint over that part at the bottom.

And here's the before on the TV stand one more time:

And the (unstaged) after:

Try to imagine it without the poor lighting, the BBQ grill, and the punching bag. It will look great Monday when I get it staged and take decent pictures that actually cooperate with the lighting outside.

And just for fun I thought I'd throw in a picture of this dresser I just finished for a friend:

I forgot to take a before picture, but it was basically a honey-oak wood color. This one isn't for sale.

Anyway, have a great week and check back Monday for some better pictures and new items. I'm hoping to have the hutch done by then, too.

TV Stand/Buffet Update

Remember how I posted about this last week?

Ummm... It's still not done. We have been fighting the flu over here at Five to Nine. Now that it has sufficiently made the rounds and we are on the road to recovery, I'm going to try to take another stab at it this weekend. I've received a plethora of emails, calls, and texts requesting that I do this a fun color, so I just might be brave and give it a try. I must warn you all, though. If I do it a funky color and it doesn't sell I may just end up painting everything white and black from now on. :)

Anyway, stay tuned. I am trying to bribe Mr. Five to Nine into helping me spray it tomorrow (Saturday) so it can dry Sunday and then I'll distress it Monday. If all goes as planned I'll post a few pictures of it painted Saturday afternoon.

I also had a few people ask about the specifics on it. It measures 64" wide x 24" deep x 42" high and the price will be around $350 (give or take). I will either switch out the hardware or paint it. I'm not sure yet on that. As for color, I'm leaning towards a peacock blue like this:

...a mustard yellow like this:

...or an emerald jade like this:

Feel free to weigh in on your color choice if you'd like.

This heavy, solid piece of furniture could also function as an entry table, a sofa table, or a console because of its compact size. It measures 53" wide x 16" deep x 31" high. The drawers both open easily, and it is in excellent condition except for a few minor scuffs and scrapes on the top. (Reference pictures. Price has been adjusted accordingly.) $145.

Sneak Peak: A Buffet/TV Stand

I've had this buffet for a couple weeks now and never seem to be able to find the time to coordinate schedules with Mr. Five to Nine so we can break out the sprayer and get it painted. I'm determined to have it done by Monday, though. It is primed white on the bottom, so I'm tempted to do my favorite heirloom white over it. But it would also look pretty cool black. What I'd really, REALLY like to do is paint it teal or peacock blue or mustard yellow, but whenever I do colors they don't sell. So, black or white it is. I'll keep you posted.

The side doors have slide outs for CDs/DVDs; one is missing on the right-hand side. The middle area has ample room for storage and there is a cut out to put cords through.
