Antique Vanity Make Over

Posted in Chef, My Work, refinished, Tools, Wilbur Cox Jr., Woodworking with tags antique, antiqued, Baltimore, chalk painted furniture, furniture, Maryland, refinished, second life, shabby chic, upcycled, vanity, Wilbur Cox Jr. on December 26, 2015 by wilburcoxjr

This vanity was in the gentleman’s family that I bought it from since the 1920s. I completely restored it. Original mirror, hardware, and bench. Completely hand painted and antiqued by yours truly. This was given to @bmoremelloyello for Christmas because I wanted to make her something as beautiful as she is. Originally it was all dark brown antique walnut number 700. Because it was a secret Christmas gift, I couldn’t take any before shots for fear that my lady may find them in my phone. Here is the finished after shot still in the family shop. Merry Christmas all.

Mason Dixon Master Chef

Posted in a chefs kitchen, Chef, Wilbur Cox Jr. with tags bistro rx, Wilbur Cox Jr. on July 16, 2015 by wilburcoxjr

One hour to cook and plate…we nailed it, but lost the audience popularity contest…oh well, I’d rather be judged on what’s on the plate, not how many of my friends are in the audience.

Chef on the Line

Posted in Chef, Equipment, My Work with tags Maryland, The Highland Inn, Wilbur Cox Jr. on November 13, 2014 by wilburcoxjr

I cook a station on the line at least 3 days a week. I think that it is of the utmost importance for a Chef to actually cook in his/her kitchen and actually cook with his/her cooks. At the end of the day, that’s all we all are. Just cooks. Cheers.
