Welcome to Forty One Furnishings! Thanks so much for stopping by.

This page is dedicated to a hobby I truly enjoy-transforming unwanted or overlooked furniture into refreshed, modern pieces with new life and purpose.

Finally finished! Now available on marketplace, two lined drawers in each, original hardware, nice classic look.

This heat has made it tough to get back into the workshop—can we say no AC?! 🥵

But I’m slowly getting back at it! Here’s a little preview of a pair of nightstands I’ve been working on. They still need some touch-ups and finishing details, but I’m hoping to have them completed and listed for sale within the next few weeks.

Stay tuned for the finished reveal, and be sure to follow Forty One Furnishings for updates! 🖤

One of my favorite parts of traveling is checking out local church bazaars, estate sales, and thrift shops—you never know where you’ll find your next hidden gem.

This time I came across this solid Drexel piece. Drexel was one of the most respected American furniture makers, especially from the 1950s through the 1970s, known for quality craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.

The clean, simple lines and quality dovetail drawers make this the perfect candidate for a makeover. Since the finish is veneer, paint may end up being the best direction, but first things first—a thorough cleaning and plenty of sanding. If the veneer cooperates, I may go with one of my favorite finishes: a soft tan wash or a light natural stain to let the wood shine.

The original drawer pulls are in fantastic shape and just need a little polishing before they’re ready to be reused.

The best part? This piece is still a blank canvas. If you’ve been looking for something customized to fit your home, now’s the time! Whether you’re dreaming of a coastal tan wash, a classic painted finish, or another color you’ve had in mind, I’d love to create something just for you.

Follow Forty One Furnishings to see this transformation from start to finish!

It’s been a little quiet around the Forty One Furnishings workshop lately… ☀️🥵

Cue the heat, humidity… and well, summer.

As much as I’d love to be in the workshop every weekend, these high temperatures don’t exactly cooperate with paint, stain, and polyurethane—the three things I rely on most to refinish furniture.

I did manage to finish one project… only to realize I didn’t order enough drawer pulls. 🤦‍♀️ Count twice, order once, right? The last pull is on the way, so while I wait, I figured I’d give you a sneak peek at what’s coming next.

This solid wood dresser has been completely cleaned, sanded back to bare wood, and finished with a custom darker tan paint wash featuring subtle gray undertones that let the beautiful wood grain shine through. Quality construction, smooth-gliding drawers, and timeless style make this one a piece that will fit into just about any home.

Just a few finishing touches to go, and it’ll be making its way to Marketplace soon.

Last evening, the sky delivered a perfect rainbow that seemed to lead right to my workshop door. I couldn’t help but take it as a sign.

I’m taking a few days away from the workshop to source new finds and hunt for the next hidden treasures waiting for a second chance. But don’t worry—I’ll be back at it soon, finishing up a few projects that have been patiently waiting their turn.

Stay tuned for project updates! ✨

What started as a tired, heavily worn dresser with years of scratches, grime, and a dark, dated finish is slowly revealing its true character. After a whole lot of cleaning and a whole lot of sanding, we’re finally starting to see the beauty hiding underneath.

The good news? The wood underneath is absolutely worth saving.

Stay tuned… this diamond in the rough is going to be a beauty when it’s finished. ✨

Taking Forty One Furnishings on the Road!

This weekend, Forty One Furnishings is trading the workshop for the Cape and doing a little furniture hunting in beautiful Falmouth.

This morning’s find? A small pine side table tucked away at an estate sale. It’s a little dingy, a little tired, and definitely showing its age—but those are often the pieces with the most potential.

With some cleaning, sanding, and a little creativity, I can already picture this becoming something special.

And honestly? I might just keep this one for myself!

This dresser has officially made it through the refinishing process and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

The piece was cleaned, prepped, and refinished using Benjamin Moore Advance in a custom navy blue that feels both classic and fresh. I also updated the hardware with brass-tone cup pulls and lined the drawers to give the interior a finished look.

Navy isn't a color I use often, but every time I do I'm reminded why it's such a timeless choice. It adds depth and character without feeling trendy, and it pairs beautifully with several colors and styles.

Now it's time to let the finish continue curing before it heads off to its next home.

What do you think—are you team navy, or do you prefer lighter painted finishes?

✨ COMING SOON | Forty One Furnishings ✨

This beautiful 3-drawer solid wood dresser is getting ready for its next home!

Thoroughly cleaned, sanded, primed, and professionally refinished using Benjamin Moore Advance paint, this piece showcases a deep blue—a classic navy with a vibrant twist.

• Three spacious drawers for ample storage
• Updated brushed gold cup pulls

Whether styled in a bedroom, guest room, entryway, or living space, this dresser offers the perfect blend of function and charm.

Available soon—stay tuned for final photos and pricing!

Let’s talk about this dresser for a minute…

It’s been sitting in my garage for months. Every time I looked at it, another project seemed to jump ahead in line.

Well, I finally gave it the attention it deserved and wrapped it up today. I was feeling pretty proud of myself… until I slid the bottom drawer in.

And… it doesn’t fit quite right. 🤦‍♀️

Such is the glamorous life of furniture refinishing. Sometimes you spend hours sanding, cleaning, painting, and sealing only to discover one last surprise waiting for you at the finish line.

So this beauty is officially almost done. The bottom drawer repair will have to wait until I can carve out a little more time in the workshop.

The good news? The finish came out exactly how I envisioned, and I know it’ll be worth the extra effort when it’s finally complete.
