Meet Nathanial, the dresser/buffet/console

Meet Nathanial.

Born in the 1970's, he was always a child of nature.  Rather than riding his Big Wheels down the neighborhood sidewalk, you could find him in his backyard collecting leaves and peering at insects through his magnifying glass.  As he aged, he never lost that love of nature.  Years ago people would have called him a tree hugger, but today, he's considered smart and sensible.  He recycles, and even takes the time to separate the cardboard.  Why not save another tree?

 
Nathanial can be whatever you want him to be.  A woodsy dresser to add that serene touch to the bedroom.  A console where your TV couldn't look more striking on top of this guy.  Or a buffet for your dining room where you hide all your fancy linens and silver.  Although he is painted grey, he is no Christian Grey, otherwise I'd be keeping him. {Oh no, I think I've revealed too much.}

 

I've got a thing for birch trees.  It's an illness, really.  And after seeing this lovely dresser, I had it in my head that I had to paint trees.  This 8-drawer dresser is extremely sturdy with dovetail construction.  I made a few repairs to some drawer rails, added the base trim, and waxed after the paint.  The dimensions:  58" wide, 34" high, 20" deep.

You can find him after this weekend at Robin's Egg in Milford, NH. 

Have a fabulous day,

Debbie
