The Console/Credenza/Server
When I start my searching I begin with the largest/most expensive item first, so I looked for a console/credenza. The original piece is custom and (I believe, if I'm reading the "sources" correctly) by Deary Construction in Brooklyn, dearyconstruction.com. No dimensions, size or cost was listed.
I was disappointed that the HGTV pickers didn't find something that looked closer to the original credenza/server, other than being red. The original piece reminds me of French Provincial/Provencal design, with the curvy inset carving on the doors and the swirly/curvy bottom skirt. Options I found to consider:
1. HGTV pick look-alike:
From Target Marketing Systems, the Montego Collection Buffet Cabinet in red, 39.3" x 15" x 36" H, for $128 plus free shipping (Amazon). The HGTV pick is $156 with free shipping (Joss and Main) and whiile I'm working on this it's currently on sale at Joss and Main for $134 with free shipping, so some slim savings from either vendor.
2. Off the rails pick:
From Home Depot, a larger server offering 3 drawers plus two cubbies worth of storage and shapely legs that I think would look great painted red (leaving the dark top in place):
Above is the Litton Lane 48" x 17" x 33"H Farmhouse Wood Cabinet, $347, but that doesn't include shipping to your door. "Curb side" delivery to my place would be an additional $55, so a total cost of $402. You can opt to have it delivered to a nearby Home Depot location and pick it up for free if you have the means to do so (I do not - no vehicle and don't drive). I like it for its country French design that features a darker contrasting. A couple cans of apple red gloss spray paint and voila, a masterpiece!
3. Priciest option:
From Wayfair, the Loon Peak Lockwood Server, $640 with free shipping (to door delivery; in home delivery is extra), it comes in two finishes black (cherry) and nutmeg (rich honey light oak), 37.5" x 18" x 31" H (pictured below):
The Lockwood server has arched carved doors and the swirly/curvy bottom apron, and also offers two drawers for additional storage.
4. Middle priced option:
If you have the room for it, you might fall in love with the true French Provincial style of this piece, sold online by The Simple Stores, made by Pulaski Furniture, Antique White Carved Door Console, $549 and free delivery to doorstep (in home delivery extra), 60" x 12" x 36" H (pictured below):
I also found this identical cabinet at Birch Lane, although not identified as a Pulaski piece, for $521 plus free in-home delivery!
5. Lower priced option:
I don't like the finish on this credenza/server at all, but I like the overall carving and love the country French style of this piece, with its curvy legs and bottom apron, and floral/geometric carved motif on three doors. Pictured below is the Mistana Ottinger Server offered by Wayfair, 47.25" x 15.75" x 30" H, for $427 and free shipping (to door):
Birch Lane offers a 2-door version of this identical cabinet in a more petite size: 32" x 15.5" x 33" H for $376 with free 2-day shipping, which looks much cuter than it's larger brother, also featuring wood construction. I think a slightly toned-down red finish on this piece would make all the difference in the world, and I'd put a mahogany or very dark cherry finish on the top. However, be warned: this has a very rustic and aged textured wood finish, not smooth wood.
Next post will be options for the expensive artichoke lamp.
