I adore this beautiful pair of vintage French 'his and her' bedside tables, they are so quirky and characterful.

One of the pair has a single drawer with pretty detailed painted metal pull handle in the recessed front and an open cupboard, perfect for books whist the other table has three drawers.  There is a beautifully curved upstand which frames the top of the tables.  The long and elegant cabriole legs are archetypal French, most notably with the little 'escargot' feet which add such character. 

This pair of bedside tables have been hand painted in the lovely Autentico chalk paint colour 'Bath Stone' before being very subtly distressed and waxed using coloured waxes.  Chalk paint has small particles of chalk within it which ia so characterful, when the wax is applied it adheres to the particles adding a time worn finish which is unique to chalk paint.

This delightful pair of French bedside tables are so pretty and archetypal French in their Louis XV style and character.

The bedsides each have a single drawer and open cupboard, perfect for books.  The drawer has a lovely solid brass knob.

This fabulous pair of vintage French bedside tables are simply stunning and in such lovely condition.

Finding lovely, good quality pairs of French bedside tables is quite tricky but I was lucky enough to find this fabulous pair.

The drawers are made from what I believe to be cherry wood and are well made and sturdy pieces of furniture made in the classically French Louis XV style.

The bedsides have some gorgeous detailing which can be seen all around the pieces, with lovely carving.  I particularly love the little 'escargot' feet on the bottom of the elegant legs, so French!  There are three useful small drawers, each with a lovely detailed painted pull handle.

Each of the bedside tables have been hand painted in the classic Annie Sloan colour 'Paris Grey' before being subtly distressed.  I have used waxing techniques to create an aged and time worn look and then finished with a white wax over the whole piece which adds fabulous character to the them.

This is such a pretty vintage French bedside table, in true archetypal French style!  

The bedside table has curves in all the right places, with elegant long legs and escargot feet.  There is a single drawer and handy cupboard space, perfect for housing bedtime reading material.

The bedside has had a process of layers resulting in the finished effect, the base coat is red, with Annie Sloan's 'Paris Grey' on top of that and then a dry brush coat of Annie Sloan's 'Old White' has been added, resulting in a fabulous white washed effect. The piece has then been waxed with a white wax and very subtly distressed, offering glimmers of the layers protruding through.

This gorgeous pair of vintage French 'His and Her' bedside cabinets are so lovely!  I love the fact that they are a pair but with different fronts so, one has a handy cupboard and the other has an open cupboard with a drawer but the detail elsewhere is the same on both.

There is some lovely and characterful detail on each cabinet and this is accentuated using specialist waxing techniques which highlight the carving. The chests have gorgeous short cabriole legs and pretty 'Escargot' feet.

The cabinets have been hand painted in Annie Sloan's classic colour, 'Paris Grey' before being distressed subtly.  I have used dark waxes firstly to add a time worn appearance and then I have used a white wax all over which creates such a lovely veiled effect leaving little flecks of white in areas.
