Custom Painted Dresser & Cabinet For Interior Designer.......
So we are finally completed with Stephanie's
order on the pieces she had us custom paint for her.
If you read my other post last month,
on the interior designer "Stephanie Ruckert" you can
view the other pieces we did for her..
She is remodeling her whole house in The Woodlands, Tx,
to show her different styles in designing homes.
This picture below was a french dresser with peeling
veneer. This took almost a month to repair.
We had to glue each layer of veneer back on, smooth
it out, then repaired the rest that was missing.
Stripped it all down.....primed it....
She wanted it out of the can white,
with gray detail and hardware,...
Fully completed, a whole lotta work, but it came out fantastic!
Next, was a cabinet she had wanted it painted a
certain color of blue, with gold detail rubbed
over the popped out parts on the sides
and the drawers.....
So we sanded it down and primed it....
Painted it her blue she picked out,,,
she also picked out these handles....
did the gold detail.....
Here it is all done! Super Gorgeous!
Serpentine Dresser Custom Painted Blue and Gold.....
I love this one! Ok, well this was a furnished custom order.
She picked this from our inventory and wanted
it in a darker gray blue with gold detail.
Then gold handles.
So this was how it looked before we touched it....
we took all the hardware off like we always do....
we don't do shortcuts that leads to messy work...
then we repaired all the scratches and dents...
sanded it down for a smooth finish...
this is our repair work process
we putty it, then sanded to a smooth
finish...
had to strip it all down on this one...
the dresser shell stripped...
smooth too!
then I primed the dresser and handles...
painted the gold, then the blue..
the repair work we did...look at that!
you can't even tell it was repaired!
she wanted a gloss to the whole dresser,
so we did that...
my gold trim is soooo awesome...
requires a whole lot of prep work
and
PATIENCE!
painted the handles and gold trim the same color of gold...
Wow!
Like I said we really out did ourselves on this one!
It looks beautiful!
She was very impressed!
Metallic Blue & Blackened Silver French Dresser
This was a custom order for a new buyer, he wanted it in metallic colors. He found a dresser he liked online and asked me to paint it similar... so he picked this dresser I had gotten in and these two colors: metallic baby blue and blackened silver. Then asked where he wanted the colors....so here is the before....
we stripped of course and primed...
then painted most of the body and all drawers metallic baby blue...
painted the top, middle dividers between the drawers, and hardware the metallic blackened silver...
also painted the middle curved part metallic blackened silver...
Here is the finished piece!
It is so beautiful! He was very pleased with it and it matched his room perfectly :)
French Nightstands Shabby Chic Style Custom Order
These where furnished and custom painted for one of my new buyers :) She wanted them to look old but wanted the wood to show up darker like I do my other pieces....so we sanded them down...
Added 3 coats of light blue paint...
distressed I mean alot of distressing...even the back of them...
added new handles....
I love how we distressed in all the right places :) Not too much and not too little just enough...
They look so shabby chic!
Custom order for new buyers Pink and Blue desk.....
This was furnished and painted for new buyers, they picked the colors a soft pink and blue. I added some bigger knobs on top drawers and painted them silver.
This was before ....
After we stripped , primed 3 coats, and painted 4 -5 coats....
It looks so cute!!!
Bassett Cabinet Dresser
This was before I tried to sell it but nobody wanted it looking like this.......
And After.....
Painted it a majestic blue color I thought it needed a color that would bring out the beauty in it.
Also painted the shelf inside...
Stained the outer trim and black waxed it....
Found some handles and polished them up. put some gold trim around the doors ad left the oriental decor it was just so pretty to paint over.....I think it came out just fantastic!
Midnight Blue Hot Pink Dresser
This was before it has a missing back and missing drawers on bottom of two, I was trying to sell it as is because I had to many other projects to do, but no one wanted to take on the job....so I did :)
And here is after sanding and repairing I put a thick piece of wood on back, painted it midnight blue then drawers hot pink ...
stained the top and protected it with light brown wax.....
and painted the handles grey...
I just think it came out really cute!
