Old Office Furniture Gets a New Life
Past Present Future of Minneapolis, Minnesota collects, restores and sells vintage and antique office furniture - and some non-office furniture, too. The pieces shown here are just examples of restoration work done for prior clients - wow! The one above is a Hamilton medical cabinet.
And here's an All-Steel desk.
And one more - a vintage metal dresser.

"Wow" is right! This stuff is gorgeous! If I ever decided to add some color to my furnishings, this is the way I'd go.
ReplyDeleteBut, because I'm an artist, I've found that I need to keep the color out of the furnishings so that I can focus on the color in the artwork. That's certainly not true for lots of artists. Many love living in color-saturated environments; I'm strictly into neutrals.
But, wow! Talk about tempting!
Cynthia, I'm glad someone else liked these as much as I did - even if they aren't the right furniture for either of us in our own homes.
ReplyDeleteYou can also get some paint from B&Q which is very thick and has a shiny finish. It's a gloss paint, but is perfect for furniture like that.
ReplyDeleteLooks good.
Thank you, Love London!
