The Emmaline Hutch - Before & After

We picked up this beautiful french hutch a few months back and finished it in our vintage white. Because french just says white in this case. We pulled the metal lattice from the glass. I always like a clear view of vintage finds and treasures or family pictures that are displayed on the shelves.
This hutch can be seen The Old Flamingo in Salt Lake City. And a quick thanks for the continued support and for our loyal friends and blog visitors who have taken them time to stop by. Thank you one hundred times over! We are working on some more great projects that I cannot wait to share. Some projects will be available to be purchased and some are a few of our own projects.

Happy Monday!

The Old Flamingo

Today at 11:00 am the doors of The Old Flamingo will open at 3474 South and 2300 East in Salt Lake City. It offers fun furniture restores and wonderful vintage finds from The Frosted Gardner as well as a handful of other great furniture artists and collectors. We hope to see you there or sometime over the weekend.

I have already received a few emails and phone calls with questions and am so appreciative of the response and support just this week. Thank you to everyone!

The Bombay Chests - Before & After

We had a very good friend that we met through our furniture find for us these two Pulaski bombay chests. They had seen some major damage especially on the legs. You can see that they are no longer attached to the piece. So with a bit of reconstruction and some TLC they are as good as new.
We do have two of these although only one is pictured. I so wanted to put these to the side of my white couches! They have such a wonderful shape and I of course we kept the original dangly pulls.
These are currently sitting in our store space at The Old Flamingo. Between it is sitting an old metal headboard.
These would also work perfectly as nightstands next to a tall bed draped with white cotton throws and grey pillows. If nobody snatches these up - well it will be a really good excuse to bring them back home with me.

Grotto Gallery & The Old Flamingo

Today we spent time at a place called Grotto Gallery in a few cities over. This place is a strip of small art galleries that are each designated by a unique door. At the head of this quaint alley way is a new store going in called The Old Flamingo. I forgot to snap a picture of the old metal camper trailer parked in the parking lot offering cold and refreshing treats. One simply approaches the window and picks from a variety of cold slushes that are drizzled with a touch of cream. We highly recommend the Citrus Cooler.

Each Wednesday starting this week a grower's market populates the parking lot bringing fruits and vegetables to those who love things FRESH.
So what does this place mean to The Frosted Gardner? After a few weeks of deliberation we have decided to place our furniture pieces as well as our wonderful vintage finds in The Old Flamingo. The store will feature vintage decor and furniture restores from us as well as a handful of other furniture artists. We are excited for this opportunity and cannot wait to offer our customers and clients a place to visit us in the Millcreek area near Salt Lake City. I will continue to blog about our pieces and we will still continue to offer custom refinishes to those of you who already have found your own wonderful treasures. I have a few amazing before and afters to share with you as we continue to load our space.

Happy Saturday!
