Antique Card Catalog/
Media Cabinet Conversion

Mixed Materials

This delightful piece was commissioned by Stephanie Murray Makeovers for a family who wanted to reuse an antique card catalog as a modern media cabinet.

Tanso Cabinet

Walnut and Cherry

This enormous piece was a labor of love. With two cabinets and 21 individual drawers, it's been one of my biggest projects. The exterior is walnut, and the drawer interiors are cherry. The unique finish on the walnut was achieved by several coats of cherry-tinted danish oil followed by mohogany tinted Mylands furniture wax.
