French Gray Dresser...New Look From Before...

We found and purchased this dresser in really bad condition.

Here is the before below.  Hardware was missing.

A new follower contacted me and wanted to know

what I would be putting out next.

I showed her this one.  Let's just say it was sold before I could list.

We stripped it down.

Repaired a lot of  loose veneer.

Sealed in the old hardware holes.  I had this same style dresser before 

in my inventory years ago and we had custom painted it for a client.

So I knew what hardware to search for  had no luck.

Sealed in most of the splits in the wood and reinforced them. 

Refinished the top in General Finishes wood stain Espresso

Sealed it with high performance top coat. 

Painted the body in Chelsea Gray by Benjamin Moore.

Distressed edges,

Added the new hardware.

Hobby lobby is my go to for hardware when

I can't find the original anywhere else.

Smooth no brush stroke flat thin finish. 

She loved it!

French White Nightstands.....

Client had contacted me earlier this year and 

wanted me to search for her some french nightstands

with a shelf exposed and one drawer.  She also wanted me to 

paint them for her in all white with a distressed edges look.

I did find her some as i didn't have any in my current

inventory.  Here is the before below. 

Sanded them down.

Repaired loose veneer.

Primed them and then painted them in all 

white with Benjamin Moore paint.

Hardware kept original.

She loved them!

Antique Cabinet Painted For Client.....

A new client who has been following me for a few

years contacted us for a custom painted order.

She had this old antique cabinet her dad had given here mom

years ago.  It was heavily stained and chipping away.  Her mom's

birthday was coming up and wanted to surprise her with it 

custom painted in a new look.

Here is the before below.   

We stripped and sanded it all down.

She picked a color from Benjamin moore.

I painted it a chocolate brown,

Added some glass knobs I had in our workshop.

Below in the picture you can see the date her

father scratched in the day he gave it to her mother.

She loved it,  I think it's beautiful!

Headboard Set Painted Black.......

One of my past clients that purchased a custom painted 

french chest I did back in 2013, contacted

me.  She wanted

us to paint her king size headboard set black.

Plus some distress on edges.

She has started to paint it gray, but then didn't have time

to finish......

when we went to pick it up she changed her mind and 

wanted it all black with distressed edges.....

So we stripped it down, by sanded it to the

bare wood....

then I painted it all black....

distressed edges....

Came out really nice!
