1980s No More!

By Dianne Horn, Owner/Operator at Sweet Tea Furniture in Lugoff, SC.

Grandma's display cabinet is unrecognizable!  Originally, the cabinet screamed "I'm from the 80s", but now it says "I'm a modern farmhouse masterpiece"!  Gone are the glass shelves and mirror back, replaced by beadboard and solid wood, finished in Antique White.  And "sayonara" to the dark wood original finish and "hello" to the Intellectual Gray exterior! We added some amazing, statement hardware, and "viola"...she's a brand new piece!  A modern farmhouse chic beauty in gray!!
