Are you a Jacobean fan? You might be mad about this flip. Sadly, the veneer damage was extensive enough that it made more sense to paint it out.

I did want to try to save the top. After stripping it down and sanding through the grits, the top was in great condition. I tan washed it and then warmed it up with a gel stain before sealing it with a hard wax oil. I did the same procedure with the front feet.

For the body, I glued down loose veneer, filled in the damage, did 3 light coats of primer and then painted it in Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball. It’s a lovely brownish, taupey pink. Gorgeous!

I highlighted all the carvings and moldings with gilding. I was going for subtle elegance so I had to restrain myself on the gold, but I think it’s just right.

What do you think?

The last part of the video features the winner of the furniture challenge I hosted. I picked the theme of Romancecore/Coquette. 27 people joined me to flip a piece in two weeks. All entries had to be submitted by Saturday, February 24th. I picked the top 3 on Sunday and then people voted for their favorite in my stories on Instagram.

The winner was Kathy from @WhatKCcreates. She chose an antique dresser and mirror to flip. She completely stripped it down, applied a tan wash followed by a gel stain. Then she applied an elaborate floral furniture transfer over the drawers. Stunning!

Congratulations Kathy!!
