Antique Bookshelf/Dresser......

One of our repeat clients wanted to see if we had

any bookshelves for her sons room.

So I showed her this unique old antique shelf

with drawers that we had.  It just needed two shelves.

The before pictures are below.

The bottom veneer was chipped and the foot was completely 

chipped half off.

She wanted to keep the look of the wood just freshened up

and repaired on the chipped parts.

So we repaired all the cosmetic major parts.

As you can see here John repaired the foot to 

T.

I stained and sealed the whole piece.

Added and painted the new knobs.

Here's the foot that was chipped off...

John did a excellent job.

We cut some shelves and I custom matched it.

She absolutely loved it!

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!

Shabby Chic Cabinet.......

A repeat client of ours wanted us to 

paint this cabinet stand she had.

She wanted it a shabby chic

 black and cream.

Here is the before....

we sanded it down, then painted it

black .....

distressed it heavily... 

painted it cream where she wanted it...

distressed the cream also...

painted the inside....

I just love how this came out!

Really love this look!

Antique Table Cabinet Painted Dark Grey....

I got this tablelike this partly sanded down.....

so we sanded the rest, it looks like it was painted teal.....

so I decided to paint it a darker grey.....

distressed the edges and tips...

also went and painted the inside....

added some curvy handles to go with the curves on top.....

painted the hardware gold....

It turned out really cute!

Old Renaissance Star Buffet that was Saved!

We found this piece, it was not taken care of as you can see.  It had a hutch but it was damaged beyond repair which was a shame.  So we kept the door off it that is what you see on top of the before picture.  We looked it up and it seems to be from the early 1900's it is a Renaissance Star Buffet.  It is solid wood very heavy, large dovetailed for the drawers.  

This is after....I painted it silver on the doors, drawer fronts, and the side panels.  Then painted the knobs copper.  These are the original knobs.  Then stained and waxed the outer shell.

Sanded it down, the doors on the bottom where nailed in and wrapped around to use as a hinge.  That is how it was made no hinges.  That was taken out as some doors where already fallen off.  So we added hinges.  

The sides are not doors they are glued and screwed in.

The bottom doors in front do open.  

I love it!  It came out just as I pictured it would:)

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!

Cream Wood Kitchen Cabinet

Painted this one cream then distressed and dark waxed.  Had to sand down everything first though.  Crackled the handles the same color as the cabinet cream color.  This went in my kitchen for a snack cabinet.  So beautiful!
