The "EDWARD SCISSORHANDS" Table

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS Table
I used to sew Frankensteins Lips & stitch xx's for Eyes when I was an Old Sewing Table!
But Look at me NOW!!
Just $225
at Frou Frou Galore in OLD TOWN SPRING.  We accept Credit Cards & we also have Layaway!  You can also Find, & LIKE Houston Faux on Facebook!

The old Heavy insides that held the sewing machine were removed.  The solid wood side that flips over as a workstation was retrofitted to be the new top for this Cutie Table.  Fun Knobs were added.  The curved front allows for a chair.. after-all it was a an old sewing table so it was made to sit at!  Add your own mirror for an instant Primp & Make-up station!

Nothing Fancy! So you can see the Pretty Color!
If you had seen this table before, I did change the name from the "Beetlejuice" Table to "EDWARD ScissorHANDS". More fitting, considering it was an old Sewing Table.

French Country Table & Chairs with Hutch! -Custom order makeover

A lady contacted me after seeing my french-country painted pieces online & asked if I would makeover her vintage finds.  She loved my combination of refinished dark stained wood along with my country-cream finish.  I was happy to take on her pieces which included a pedestal table with 5 chairs & a hutch.  I'm sharing with ya'll how they turned out & I hope you like the results! 
Congratulations Carrie & Greg on the purchase of your new home.

After a few minor repairs this piece was ready for its transformation.  After refinishing the top of the base chest, I decided to refinish the doors as well.  I thought it would "marry" the 2 pieces better & add more richness to their look.  I also painted the backing & insides of the top cabinet a shade darker for a subtle contrast.  I thought this would be a sharp look as I didn't want it to look like plain ol' kitchen cabinets.


Pretty with dishes!

The original hardware was fine so I just put everything back in place.

Ready for dishes & display pieces!

 


BEFORE

AFTER

5-CHAIRS were Redone in FRENCH-COUNTRY Style
























The table top was refinished & stained dark & the base was hand-painted & finished with a lovely French Wax giving it a subtle satiny glow.  The owners have iron details in their home so I left the metal scrolled pieces original to the piece to go with their decor.
Thanks!! Carrie & Greg.

Art Deco Entertaining Bar Cabinet

Swanky Entertaining Cabinet. Perfectly fits glassware on the shelves. And just think if you added a couple of shelves of the left side to store-display liquor bottles & shelf at the bottom for wine storage.
PRICE: $625
T: 4FT x D:16" x W:29"
Contact me at txfaux@yahoo.com 
or Available at the Frou Frou Galore Shop in Old Town Spring!

I was told that the wood is "Exotic".  This looks like a one-of-a-kind piece even back in it's day.  I imagine it was made by a woodworking artisan seeing how detailed the woodgraining is along with the creativity that went into the piece using off-set hardware on the front and the art-deco styled design down the front doors.

The doors open to display a neoclassic angel design from Robert Adams (neoclassic architect)

The hardware is all original to this piece.  It does have a locking mechanism but is missing its key.


I found that it was easier to strip the entire piece & when I did I found that the top had alot of detail & character. Even though it had a little veneer chipping it was still too lovely to paint over.
