Grey Sideboards
Grey Sideboards

Let's talk about Grey sideboards because I'm working on three this month!

I have one medium bow fronted sideboard with four central drawers and a cupboard on either side in stock and ready to ship immediately - the majority of the photos are of this sideboard.  The sideboard has been updated with a matte ash grey acrylic paint and a touch up pot will be provided to keep your piece in perfect condition for years to come. The original handles are solid brass and have been restored and lacquered.  Each cupboard is closed and opened using a key and both original keys are included.  If you pop me a message after purchase, I will make you a set of custom tassels for the keys in up to two colours.  Theinterior has been lightly used by its previous owner so I simply cleaned and polished it with lemon polish so it smells gorgeous! Measurements: 1305mm wide x 870mm tall x 350mm / 455mm deep (end / middle). If this isn't the one for you then read on rather than buying now! I've shown 'multi-pix' of other grey sideboards that I've worked on.

My grey sideboards are based on quality preloved pieces - mostly reproduction and exceptionally crafted veneered items. They are usually stripped back to the bare wood before priming, undercoating and painting in grey matte acrylic paint and the shade can vary from a pale almost white grey, through mid greys, blue greys and darkest greys.  An additional topcoat in matte, satin or gloss can also be added. The original handles are either replaced or refinished in stunning gold chrome - or your own choice of finish like antiqued brass or silver chrome.  The insides are cleaned and polished.

All my pieces are upcycled and use preloved furniture and whilst they have been given a complete upgrade, there may be still be limited signs of their vintage provenance. Please review all photos before purchase - thank you! Any type of sideboard style or size can be sourced for you. I hold a number of sideboards in stock and can source something to meet your requirements.  You will receive a number of options to choose from before I ask for a deposit and we proceed with the makeover.  Prices shown for small, medium, large and bow front units are for illustration purposes only with the final price depending on the costs of raw units and exclude the handle prices which are added at cost price. The sideboard needs to be washed, prepared  and any repairs made before we start.  It will then be undercoated in a suitable undercoat and spray painted with multiple coats of a grey acrylic paint.  I will finish in an ultra matte, satin or gloss topcoat to make sure that it stands up to everyday usage. The interiors of sideboards not usually touched (apart from cleaning) but these could also be painted and refinished for an additional fee. How about a pop of turquoise or mustard yellow? #challengeglasshousegirl to come up with something stunning! Please contact me for more information and a no-obligation customised quotation.

Black & Pale Yew Sideboard / Dresser
Black & Pale Yew Sideboard / Dresser
This gorgeous small sideboard has been given a real Glasshouse Girl transformation - you can read all about it on my blog. Starting its journey as a yellow varnished piece, once the varnish came off the yew veneer revealed its true beauty. The body has been painted (inside and out) in a black matt acrylic paint giving it an edgy modern finish. Whilst the top surface, drawer fronts and doors have had a cream tinted oil applied and been buffed until it feels like velvet.  This oil product was originally developed for floors so its incredibly hardwearing. The handles and hinges have been refinished in brass, a nod to its traditional styling. This small sideboard would be lovely in a dining room or kitchen but would work equally well as a tv stand or bedroom storage. Dimensions: 1080mm wide x 460mm deep x 790mm high. I can source similar yew wood pieces including dining room sets, larger sideboards and bedroom furniture if you would like something similar. I provide no obligation quotes and a sourcing service so that you can find the ideal piece easily.

Ercol Highback Dining Chairs
Ercol Highback Dining Chairs
These gorgeous vintage Ercol dining chairs feature a highback hoop back and are available with plain stick backs or with the central swan backsplat. Despite being of exceptional quality, the original finish is often chipped and flaking so Glasshouse Girl brings them bang up to date by stripping this off.  The seat pads are then sanded back to bare wood and sealed them with hardwax oil giving a soft natural finish.  The back/base is refinished in high quality acrylic paint which feels soft to the touch.  The standard colours I offer are black or white but custom colours are available upon request - please contact me for more information. Dimensions: 960mm high / 420mm to top of seat pad. Price is per chair. These chairs and similar chairs are painted to order within 6-8 weeks, please contact me with any special requests or if you would like your own chairs painted in this style. Please note that the final finish / tone of the wooden chair pads will be dependent on the wood the chair is made from.

‘Stud U Love’ Black Leather Tub Chairs
These leather tub chairs had their previous life as an uninspiring navy reception chair until they got the full Glasshouse Girl treatment!

Dimensions: 625mm wide x 590mm deep x 775mm high. If you are looking for a practical and classic chair with a subtle design bite then the 'Stud U Love' Chairs are the perfect piece for you.

Black & Gold Dressing Table
Black & Gold Dressing Table
This was a client commission but similar can be sourced for you. I hold a number of dressing tables in stock and will send you images of a number of options which I feel will meet your requirements. A simple modern dressing table is carefully sanded and prepared before being repainted in multiple layers of a satin black acrylic lacquer which is incredibly robust. The handles have been replaced with solid brass Henley cupboard knobs from Crofts and Assinder - which is reflected in the price listed here but other gold or brass finish handles can be sourced as required. The drawers are lined with wallpaper which can be selected from Glasshouse Girl stock or I can use remnants from the wallpaper in own your room. The stool (not pictured) is padded and will be covered in a suitable fabric from my stock or you can provide your own fabric.  The stool was finished with brass upholstery nails and this finish can be customised to your taste. The mirror pictured here is the client's but I can source something virtually identical.  Alternatively, you may wish to stick with the mirror that comes as standard with your dressing table and have it refinished. Please contact me for more information and a no-obligation customised quotation.
