Off White Table Chairs Set W/ Sofa Table....


This table set and sofa table was a clients who wanted 
me to paint it in Alabaster by Sherwin Williams.
Since my favorite is Benjamin Moore I color matched it.
We stripped it down and it was messy plus took forever.



Sofa table was a dream to sand down.



I forgot to take a photo of the table top stripped.
Almost forgot to take them at all.



Primed and painted them.





Sealed the table top.












Sealed everything else in our high quality wax finish.




Looks beautiful and so much cleaner.

Refinished Table and Chairs.....


This was for one of my previous clients who 
loved our work from what we did for them before.  
She wanted her dining table and chairs set refinished, not painted.
So here is the before...the table has a slide in leaf.


It was darker and scratched.
The previous finish was a gel stain, so when
it was banged into which will happen over
time, it showed white wood and chipped.


With gel stain it lays over the wood, stain penetrates 
into the wood which stains it.  So we couldn't get it to the exact
dark color like this.  The wood was very close together also much 
harder to take stain.
I had to use 3 different colors of stain to get it even
somewhat close to the previous finish.


We stripped it all down.




Then I went to work to get it to look like this below....


Added a poly to the top.  Multiple layer of it on top 
for extra protection.  


Added poly to all the chairs and base of table also.



She loved it!  It actually matched exactly with her floor color.
That was awesome!

Custom Painted Clients Kitchen Set.....



A client that found me online asked me to
redo her table and buffet set.
She was moving in a new house and wanted 
a different look.
She decided on black with the wood showing 
to make it look aged.

This is after we sanded it down to prepare the painting process...
we took everything apart.
Cabinets, screws, hinges, glass, mirrors, metal parts on legs, etc....


These where the chairs before....

table base...

Red and White Dining Table Set With Bench....


Well to start off, we had this table for 
along time.  It is a really awesome table.  I love the 
detailed legs and the pull out side leaves on each side.
This piece I actually did all on my own.
Absolutely no help from my partner/husband.
He is working on a huge custom order at the moment.
Anyways, I always see all his techniques in repairing and sanding .
So I used all of them on this one.
Here is was before,





I sanded it and stained it
with 3 different colors of stain.
Then added 3 coats of poly.


Stripped the bottom part of the table completely....
then primed and painted it white....


Sanded down the chairs and painted them red...
love how you can still see all the 
dark wood! 










Now the bench my husband/partner did put that together.
Some things I just don't want to do or even learn to do!

We had 2 Jenny Lind spindle twin bed whole
frame sets.  One was complete and the other was not,
plus it was missing some spindles.
This is how it looked just minus some spindles, slats,
and rails.



Here is the awesome bench he made!
I love it so much!!!


Sanded it down and painted it red also.
It has the same technique with the
 wood showing threw the red paint.


I just love this set!

Chairs I painted for one of my customers.....


Before....



She wanted me to just paint them and she would add the fabric after.  So I painted and she did the fabric.  
We first sanded them to the bare wood, repaired some of the pieces that where loose, then added 3 coats of primer,  and 4 coats of white paint.  Her husband did the table same color.  

And After.......




Isn't it just beautiful!  I love the fabric she chose.  Thank you so much Laurie for sending me the after pictures with the fabric on them :)

Rustic Table and Chairs




I have been working on this one off and on.  I mixed all kinds of teals and blues to get this color for the table bottom.  Then I lightly sanded the top and waxed it.  Then i collected these chairs till I have a complete set and painted them a cream color and lightly distressed them a bit.  Now I put them outside on my patio!  Looks super cute:)
