Olive Martini anyone?! 🍸🫒 I’m so very happy with the custom colour I created for this vintage bedroom suite I’m transforming! A couple weeks ago I shared the Stacked Dresser, and tonight I’m sharing the Vanity Dresser. Next up is Twin Bed with head/foot boards and rails. I’ll have all it wrapped up in a bow for YOU by mid-December! I’ll do the work, you’ll enjoy the fruits of my labour, and we can both pour ourselves an Olive Martini! Deal?!

Before & After
Vintage Vanity Dresser
I was so excited when I came across a vintage Knechtel Furniture bedroom suite, in such solid form. This vanity dresser is the second of 3 pieces in a suite that I’m transforming this Nov/Dec for YOU! Completed prior to this piece is a stacked dresser! Next up is a a single (twin) bed with head/foot boards and frame.
Selectively Salvaged and Loved by me
For YOU
I’ve been aching to transform furniture in an olive green hue. When I came across this vintage bedroom suite, I instantly felt it was the perfect candidate for my dream colour. Reincarnated in my very own custom blend I’ve named Olive Martini— an easy to love natural deep khaki green that pairs ever so sweetly with neutrals, terracotta, and antique brass. A super solid n’ sound Knechtel Furniture vanity dresser with original hepplewhite drawer pulls that I so adore. This piece will be for YOU as a twin suite— with a matching stacked dresser and twin bed. How wonderful will this be in a guest room, cottage bunk room, or child’s bedroom?!

I ain’t no videographer I tell ya! I am however determined to try my very best to share a closer look with YOU! Below you’ll find my best; albeit amateur effort at trying to capture this piece in video format (taken out in my workshop where I do it all— prep, transform, picture and vid).
For my Manitoba followers, perhaps you might fancy slipping out to our farm for the closest look— please do get in touch!
