Do you see a red trend here? Seems that we have been doing quite of bit of it recently! This particular piece is for my parent's ranch house and my mom loves red furniture. It took a few different reds to match it perfectly. Red can be a hard match. Some of my favorites on this piece is the little oval mirror on the sweet back splash and the twisty front legs that are hand carved. How do we know this is how they were made? If you look closely you will see the right one is just a bit bigger than the left. I adore the sweet original flower embellishments on each door. I think they tie in perfectly with the original floral hardware. I cannot wait to see this in its home next summer when my parents complete their bunk house next to the ranch house. We are heading up that way for the Thanksgiving holiday and the barn has been completed and I cannot wait to see it.
Happy weekend friends!
