Little White Table

June 4, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We couldn’t pass up this little side table with it’s beautiful little legs.

We are pretty sure it’s original use was as a telephone stand. The phone would naturally sit on top and the phone book would go underneath in the little cubby.

We painted this one in our favorite diy chalk paint using Behr Swiss Coffee. To be honest, we’ve tried many of the big name chalk paint lines in white and just haven’t found anything we like as much as our tried and true diy version.

We finished by sanding it super smooth, lightly distressing the edges and sealing with General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in flat.

This is such a versatile little table and would look great just about anywhere.

Measures 20″W x 14″D x 29″H

Available for local purchase only at Brothers Antiques North (Medina, Ohio and surrounding area.)

Dixie Dresser

We fell in love with the lines and details on this dresser the minute we saw it.

With all the beautiful detail we decided to keep things simple and paint it a nice clean white.

To showcase the details we gave the piece a light distressing.

The dresser and hardware are painted with Fusion Mineral Paint in Picket Fence.

We usually line our drawers but these solid wood drawers are like brand new. We like the fresh, clean look.

Check out those curves!

Measuring 38″W x 18″D x 30″H makes it the perfect size for a foyer, hall, dining room and of course a bedroom.

Available at Brothers Antiques North

White Planked Side Table

This little lovely will be heading to the booth at Brothers Antiques North later today. It was in really sad shape when we found it. We cleaned it up and added planks to the top for a little more character. It’s painted with our signature white chalk paint, lightly distressed and sealed with clear wax.

We love a planked top!

Beautiful New Cabinet

This piece isn’t our usual style but there was just something about it that made us want to give it a makeover. And it turned out beautifully.

We painted it in our favorite white chalk paint, did a very light distressing and sealed it with General Finishes High Performance in flat.

These beautiful glass knobs from D. Lawless Hardware were the perfect finishing touch!

Not only is this cabinet beautiful but it offers plenty of storage and a working drawer.

Decorative Clay Pots

We are learning quickly that “smalls” are a very important part of booth selling. We are working hard to keep our small items fresh and unique.

We think we hit the mark with these little clay pots. Aren’t they adorable?

They are painted in our signature white chalk paint, stenciled black and sealed with clear wax. We added a little green and moss to complete the look.

Typewriter Black

We love to add touches of black when decorating. Below are a few pieces we have added to our booth this week. Milk paint gives us that beautiful time worn finish we love so much. Typewriter by Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint is one of our favorites.

When sanded and sealed with hemp oil milk paint has the smoothest, most luxurious finish.

Tavern Green Dresser

Hello, friends! We feel like we’ve been teasing you with this piece for quite a while. We originally hoped to have it available for St. Patrick’s Day. It must have brought us the luck of the Irish because shortly after we found out we were getting a space at Brothers Antiques North! Since then, we’ve been scrambling to gather items for move-in day on Monday, April 15th. We decided to hold back on selling the dresser and add it to our inventory for opening day. We hope you will stop in and check it out along with many other items we’ve been working on.

We have wanted to do a green piece for so long. As many of you know, we took a quick poll on our Fac ebook page and many of you loved the green. Yay!

We choose to use Tavern Green by The Old-Fashioned Milk Paint Company. It’s such a fresh, Springy color. We love to use milk paint for these antique pieces, it gives such an authentic timeless finish.

We even got a little bit of chippy! We sanded the paint smooth, lightly distressed the edges and sealed the paint with hemp oil. Finally, we finished by adding white wax to help bring out the details.

New white ceramic knobs were added for a classic modern look.

Look at those beautiful joints! These Knapp joints date the piece from 1870-1900. They just don’t make them like this anymore. Also, we love how the fluted detail on the knobs matches the detail of the joints!

One Week!

How beautiful is the craftsmanship of these Knapp joints on this drawer?!

Wood Candlesticks

February 20, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

We are now making candlesticks!

Be sure to stop in at Brothers Antiques North to see our latest assortment.

These candlesticks are hand turned and made from pine lumber. They may have knots, small cracks and small holes – we love that because they add character! Each one is unique in it’s own way.

We first stain the candlesticks with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Curio and then paint them with white milk paint for a chippy finish. Finally, we wet sand each candlestick with hemp oil for a beautiful natural finish.
