Custom Sideboard in Creamy White Paint

In March 2014, a woman came into the Our Country Hearts furniture store looking for a sideboard.  She had specific dimensions and colors in mind.  Since we specialize in helping people design their own custom furniture, it wasn't hard to get an idea of what she was looking for.  In about 20 minutes we came up with this drawing:


It's a relatively straight-forward sideboard that measures 54"W x 16"D x 41"T.  It has two drawers, four raised panel doors and a 5" clearance below the bottom. It also features "4-post" construction, that is, each corner will have a post and those posts will be tapered at the bottom.  While we could have built it in Oak, Maple, or Cherry, she decided to go with Oak because she wanted to "see the grain" through the paint.  She also went online and purchased custom hardware which we had the builder put on.

It took about eight weeks to build and two more weeks for the painting to be finished, but here's the final product:

In short, Our Country Hearts produced a completely custom, American-made sideboard, to the customer's specifications in about 10 weeks and for only $895 + tax in March 2014.  Will prices go up?  Yes, but will our quality god down? Never!
