Alameda Sunday June 5, other June appearances, New pieces

The upcoming Alameda Antique show on Sunday is forecasted to have chances of showers. However, I am planning on showing at this point, booth N-15 as usual. Below are a few photos of some new pieces. Many of the cabinets, tables, etc. in last few posts are also still avail. Future scheduled shows for June are Sat. 6/11 at Grand Lake Farmers Market in Oakland, Sun. 6/26 and Thurs. 6/ 30 at the San Rafael Civic Center farmers Market. I am not planning on attending Alameda again until Oct. Other July and August appearances will be posted here first week of July. Here are a couple photos of a pair of very cool industrial factory carts. The tops have been polished, the carts then were laquered.

This piece was created from an antique english washstand. Interesting contrast between the quarter sawn oak and the distressed beadboard.

Another mirror made from my stash of antique victorian windows.

Small octagonal coffee table, antique balusters.

Console table, multicolored top. Check out the house numbers on the front legs.

Small bench with shelf. Great for entry, shoe shelf, etc.

Same bench, larger.

This was a salvage yard find, a victorian solid black walnut small cabinet. I added the top, sides, painted it.

Old growth redwood planters from salvaged timbers, remilled.

Nice vintage chair, very 4th of july colors.

The nightstand on the right began as a vintage sewing machine cabinet. I added the drawer, top, painted it white.

Another victorian solid black walnut piece. Double drop leaf top, painted.

Another console table. Very cool porch brackets on the sides.

A custom console table.

New Pieces, Cancellation of Sunday 5/15 at Civic Center Farmers Market(Rain Forecast), Various custom order photos

At this point (Thurs may 12), rain is forecast for this upcoming Sunday 5/15 scheduled appearance at the Marin Farmers Market in San Rafael, I am canceling my reservation. I will try to reserve for following Sunday, May 22. I will post here again next thursday, 5/20, as to whether I was able to reserve the space.

Here are photos of several new, available pieces. The first two photos are of cabinets built within vintage industrial type rolling iron frames. These both have natural Douglass Fir tops, I am thinking great for kitchen island use. The frames were likely originally holding washing machines. The castors are cast iron, and the frames have rivets,
I polished the iron frames and then laquered. The first piece shown at very top has "Clio" iron emblem as part of door, likely from an old cookstove. Antique cast iron hardware. Second piece has door made from antique diamond pane leaded glass panel, vintage hardware also.

Next up, a small nightstand type table, probably an old dental office piece. I made the top and the shelf from natural doug fir boards. The small shelf unit was rescued from the salvage yard. I found the vintage aqua color under several coats of latex, very nice. I added the beadboard back and created the shelf , the balusters are from Texas by way of Alameda!




Benches are always popular, this one is a variation on the theme, with shelf, I am thinking in an entryway to put all those shoes on.

Another dental office piece. Found at an antique store, I built the shelves from some turquoise wood I had, nice match.

Here are a few photos of a bathroom suite of pieces created a while back, never got around to posting photos until now.

The headboard and nightstands were created out of some old cedar barnwood from Grants Pass Oregon. The barn was over 100 years old, wonderful textures from all the windblown snow and ice.

Small coffeetable with architectural element as centerpiece.

This piece is a three drawered file cabinet, with modern full extension slides, created to match clients rough sawn fir interior walls.

This piece was created for clients to house a TV, mounted on a wall.

This door was picked out of my collection by client, then I created a simple halltree type piece for orginization of hats, coats etc. Note the ht. of the lower row of knobs, sized for youngster of the house:)

Additional New Inventory, Petaluma Antique Faire on Sunday 4/17

Here are some photos of new pieces for Petaluma Antique Faire, Downtown Petaluma.. Booth space F-2, corner of Fourth St. and B. Small cabinet has antique marble top, stained glass door, beautiful Eastlake brass hardware. Next is halltree made from stunning victorian half-lite door. I replaced glass with mirror and made the bench seat from repurposed wood and a vintage Coke cooler. Cast-iron antique halltree hooks. Very fun,whimsical piece.

Next up are photos of a couple of new parsons tables. Multi-colored strips of repurposed wood and some very nice trim pieces. Next photos show some mirrors made from vintage arch topped windows. Below that are a couple of photos of an antique dental or medical cabinet. This piece was handmade by a tinsmith of sheet zinc and has nice thick glass top. When I acquired it the glass top was fully painted over. We stripped over 100 years of paint off it and polished the zinc for a very cool industrial finish. Laquered, fully restored.

Next photo is of coffee table of repurposed beadbpoard and some antique balusters. After that, photo is of another industrial piece, vintage steel shelf unit, polished and laquered.

Next up, pair of cute little nightstands, with single drawer and shelf below.

These are 2 new hutches. Both were purchased as salvage pieces at Urban Ore in Berkeley, then rebuilt, my style. The cabinet with the purple glass drawer knobs had some interesting history. I was told it came from the Richmond Plunge, it was used to store flippers!

Here are some photos of available cabinets, previously posted but shown here again. I have been rained out at Alameda 4 of 5 previous shows, so many cabinets are available.

Near the bottom of these photos is a beautiful small primitive, new to my inventory. Also,new mirror photos. I purchased an antique window collection last year, here are some mirrors made from some of these beatiful old window frames.
