Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beatiful!














Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful!

This was the message given to all the other pieces of furniture at Redeux as the Berkley & Gay dresser emerged from her week at the Redeux Spa. With her complete facelift and brilliantly restored hardware “bling”, it is no wonder that the former B&G dresser prefers now to be referred to as simply, “Rula Lenska”.

Redeux has gotten in several new dressers and cabinets. Most date from the early 1900’s and one, perhaps, the late 1800’s. Each is very interesting and is of different woods. A dresser with an “Art Deco” type of inlay on the front and a tilting mirror is really dramatic. One or two of these pieces are candidates for either painting or restoring to a natural wood finish. One pine chest in particular, after a trip to the Redeux Spa, could easily give “Rula” a run for her money. Stop by. If a piece interests you there is time to talk about finish options.

The Three Legged Dog is currently undergoing the full treatment. This will be a great piece for either an entryway or room.

Thanks to all who responded to my question about what to do during the winter months. There was a 100% vote to continue throughout the cold weather. So, Redeux will be open on the lower level of our home, but only for folks on this list or those they refer. Details will soon follow

Hope to see you soon. Stop by, see the new pieces and say hello to Rula!
