The great reveal continues! 🎨 Swipe to see the progress we’re making on this incredible chifforobe at Legacy Architectural Salvage.

We started this project knowing there was gorgeous, rich grain hiding underneath those layers of white paint—but every layer we take off reveals an even more beautiful mix of natural woods. It has that perfectly curated, high-end, storied aesthetic you’d expect to find in a luxury home boutique, but with the authentic soul of a true antique.

This piece is genuinely one-of-a-kind, and watching its original character come back to life is one of the best parts of what we do.

📍 Visit us at the warehouse to see the progress in person!
