Updated Antique Buffet...
This is a customers piece. She wanted her antique buffet
painted white.
She also wanted the decor in the middle removed.
John came up with the idea to flip it.
She also wanted repairs on the chipping veneer on each
side of the buffet.
We repaired the sides along with other areas we
seen that needed attention.
Tighten the top of the buffet because it was loose.
Sanded it all down, then primed it.
Painted in Benjamin Moore White.
Polished the tear drop pulls.
Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.
She didn’t want the inside painted.
Looks amazing!
Before/After below!
Vintage Mid Century Modern in Navy....
I was planning on restoring this vintage BASSETT
mid century modern dresser. It needed some work.
I'm not one of those sellers that just cleans up
a piece and leaves chipped veneer
then lists it at a high prices.
I would feel so guilty for doing that.
It's getting absolutely ridiculous on some prices we see on
some damaged pieces.
We repair them, which we have learned from our years of doing this.
We work hard and this is why my work is higher than most.
Look at the picture below and above as these are the before.
Chipped veneer. We repair those, along with everything
else we see that needs attention. Yes, it takes time.
Yes, it's not an easy flip. Most vintage pieces are not I've learned
through my 10 years of doing this.
So, after we repair we strip it or sand it.
Stripped below though because I was planning on
restoring with stain.
Repaired veneer. We finished at the end of the day and I was about
to get to the staining the next morning.
But, a customer contacted me that night and
wanted to know if I had any mcm 6 drawer dressers.
I told her about this one I was working on.
Although, she wanted it painted navy.
I primed it the next day.
Then I painted it in latex Benjamin Moore old navy for her.
Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.
I suggested staining the legs in a dark walnut.
She loved that idea.
I'm so proud of our finishes. It isn't easy, it takes a lot of work.
I am up for the challenge every time. I want to be proud of what we put out.
Looks amazing...
It will be heading to it's new home in a few days!
Before/After!
Italian Provincial Modernized...
Well, this is another of my pieces I've had in my
fixer upper project inventory. I was going to keep
the vintage hardware.
Just replace the missing top knobs, but I decided
to do all new modern hardware.
I thought (and I was right) it would look better.
The before is below.
We repaired the missing chipped veneer on top
and everywhere needed.
Sealed in all the old hardware holes, except for the top
drawers.
Then sanded it all down.
I primed it all.
Added our new holes. I make sure that my holes
are always even. Plus I make sure that you can't see the older holes.
This is why my prices are higher.
We make sure we love it and are good with our work
before we list it.
We added the new holes on the cabinet doors.
I painted it in Benjamin Moore Old Navy.
Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed finish.
I purchased new antique brass modern hardware.
So proud of our work!
It looks absolutely freaking amazing!
This sold before I could even finish!
The customer had actually surprised his wife for
mother's day! What an amazing gift 💝

Outdated Vintage Buffet Made Modern...
I had found this vintage buffet a while back.
Was waiting to work on it once I finished all
my customer orders. Now, that I started limiting customers orders
I can start doing my project pieces.
I love doing my own pieces so much!
This buffet I didn’t like the plastic fronts.
Didn’t like the hardware.
Didn’t like the bottom skirt.
I first removed the skirt trim. Still didn’t like it.
So I removed the plastic front decor.
Then cut the wood fronts and sides on bottom.
After cutting it, I wanted some added layer
to the bottom. So we added more wood
trim just to the bottom underneath it.
We added some wood legs to each side.
Filled in all the holes from the plastic decor.
Also filled in the older handle holes.
I purchased new antique bronze modern hardware.
Removed the back because it had a hole in it.
Added a new back.
All prepped and I was loving it!
It was coming out just like I had envisioned.
Primed it gray, then painted it in
Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray.
Added the new modern hardware.
I painted everything, all the inside cabinets areas.
Love it! So happy with the look!!

Directoire Dorian Gray Dresser....
Had this beautiful directore dresser up for
sale as is for a while.
I sanded it down and primed it.
You can view that in my Instagram stores.
I painted this in Benjamin Moore Dorian Gray.
We had to seal in all the older hardware holes.
I wanted the hardware to look all even. It was
more work, but we'll do that so it can look
how i want it too.
It was tough work because the drawers
had trim around the top and bottom.
It made it more difficult, but we did it.
Smooth clean finish. Top and bottom drawers
have the pull underneath the top slat.
Purchased new aged brass modern pulls.
This piece came out so beautiful!

another with no gap. Well, we've gotten a large

mostly been their own pieces they want us to paint.
