Before/After!
Mid Century Chest/Nightstands In Matte Black....
One of our previous clients was flooded in Harvey
and wanted a mid century modern chest of drawers.
Not the ones on legs the flat straight bottom ones.
I didn't have any in my inventory, so I searched for her.
I found this one and she loved it. I also showed her a mcm
nightstand I had in my inventory that would go perfect
with the chest. It had the same design on the bottom.
She said yes on the nightstand also.

Both of them needed repairs. Which we did.
We repaired and stripped.
She wanted a matte black finish with silver hardware.
Painted black and sealed in a matte
sealer.
Hardware painted in nickel.

We love to custom paint furniture, we love
it so much, that we take pride in our work.
We pay attention to detail and put our best effort into
each piece. It's a lot of work, but we enjoy the finished part.
We really enjoy it when our clients refer us! That they trust
and love our work so much that
they are willing to share our work!
We had a client last year that came to us to paint
them a french provincial dresser. Then a year later,
we got a call from a friend of theirs that wanted
us to do some of their furniture also!
So we did a french provincial bedroom set you can see in
a previous post. Then they asked us to do more furniture...
which you will see below.
This nightstand was all black, but he wanted it
updated to a new black and distressed with
polished handles.

polished up the handles....
then distressed it in some areas....
just a touch of distress not too much...
our smooth finish....
All done, more clean and updated!
Next, they wanted us to custom paint

distressed it slightly....
All done and looking adorable!
