Graphite Darkest Grey Dresser and Chest Set......

We found this beautiful dresser set a month ago and I 

decided to paint in my own design instead of listing it as is.

Here are the befores below.

I changed out the hardware for french handles

and kept the knobs on the chest.

I decided to go dark on these pieces.

I did graphite in annie sloan chalk paint

on everything even the hardware.

Smooth flat finish.

I didn't distress it just let the distress happen naturally

when I waxed it.  

So there is hardly any distress.

Loving how good it turned out!! BEAUTIFUL 💖😍

Has been sold.

Antiqued Dark Grey French Dresser...

I found this piece last July 2016 in a store all beat up and needed

 lots of repair.  We always had custom paint orders for clients,

so we couldn't get to it on the repair part then.  John 

worked on it here and there till it was fully stripped, repaired,

and ready for me to paint it in my own design.

Here are the befores below...

Missing chipped veneer and very worn in many areas.

Both feet where chipped off and missing.

Hardware was filthy.  Top was badly worn.

Last Nov-Dec 2016 I was squeezing in pieces of my 

own color design and putting them up for sale.

Which I rarely have time to do (lots of orders).  

I had a new client contact me that had been following me 

for years and actually seen my work from her friend 

( one of our clients)

that we did custom painted work for on many pieces.

So, she contacted me and wanted to know what I'd be or if

I'd be working on any pieces in my own design soon.

I showed her this one and colors (designs) I was thinking about.

I told her the price I'd be listing it at and she said 

she was very interested, although I told her it would be some time

till I could get to it as I was really booked tight.

She said no problem she would wait she understands.

She was so patient!  It took us about 2 1/2 almost 3 months 

till I could get to it.  I still have custom orders but I had some room to 

squeeze it in while John repaired/prepped other orders for me till I 

can get to them.

After John had finally repaired and stripped it I went to painting it.

Dark grey and antiqued.

He repaired both feet as we do with all our french feet.

I mean why would you not.  I think there was only one french dresser 

we did years back with clipped off feet.  Never again, it 

looks better with the whole foot.  Right?

I think so, but then I'm a perfectionist 😏

We cleaned up these beautiful handles.  No painting at all

on these beauties.

I love it and she did too!  😊😍

Well worth the wait!!

Mcm Dark Grey Dresser...

We had this fantastic looking mcm dresser

for sometime in our inventory.

A new client came to us and wanted to know

what I would be painting next in my own design

 to put out for sale.

I told her this one as it had minimal repair to be done

and I was going to do a dark grey with black gloss knobs.

No distress and a clean look.

She said she wanted it for her new child's 

room and that design and color would be perfect.

Here is the before below.

We tightened all the dovetail drawers as they were loose.

Stripped it all. 

Filled in all the cosmetic damage.  She wanted it all smooth.

I primed it all and painted it a dark grey.

She loved it and so do I : )
