Graphite Mid Century Desk, Updated Nightstand...


Client purchased this mcm dresser below from us
that I had painted in my own design and put up for sale.


Then she picked this mcm desk/chair set from
my inventory and wanted me to paint
it in the similar design I had done the dresser.
Before below.


She wanted a nightstand I didn't have one,
so she found one on her own.
Picture of before below.


Desk/chair sanded. 




 I suggested I paint stain the top drawers
and all of the chair.
Then paint the rest in the annie sloan graphite.


Hardware painted gold.



I showed her some mcm knobs I had in my inventory to 
replace the floral hardware on the nightstand.
She loved the idea, so we replaced them.
Looks totally different.
She suggested we stain just the top
drawer and the sides.





I also told her I had some gray velvet fabric we could add
to the chair that matched the color graphite very well.
She was like "Your killing me, your so awesome!!"











All sealed in a water base sealer.





Here they are in her daughters room.
Wow right?!




Love this look!

Desk, Dresser, and Vanity Custom Order.....


One of our repeats clients came to us with more of 
their furniture they wanted us to custom paint.

I forget to take befores sometimes.  Which I did with this one.
They wanted a refinished top and a soft teal on bottom.
No distress.


we stripped everything even the top,


forgot to take the picture of that part....
but I got the bottom,


primed the bottom and painted it teal....
it's going to match the teal we did on the dresser with silver handles
which you can see in a previous post....






stripped and stained the top...


Then hvlp sprayed a poly over that....


It looks really cute!

Next, was the dresser.  Here's the before....


remembered to take a picture before, we had already 
started the repairs and stripping....

Had some slight cracks in the wood on the drawers,
we had to seal those in....








Looks fantastic!

Antique Claw Foot Desk Painted Coral.......

One of my repeat clients asked me for a desk.
She needed one to use for a changing table in
her downstairs living room.  
I didn't have this beautiful antique claw foot listed, because it 
needed repair. It didn't have a top, was loose, and peeling veneer.
 I showed it to her and she 
loved it.  It was the perfect size and look she wanted.



she wanted it stained with a mixture of wood color....
so after repairing we sanded it all down....


did our technique of the mixed stained wood...






she wanted a coral color and some knobs, so we decided 
on these knobs which are so beautiful...




repaired all the peeling veneer....


love those knobs....



put a top on it and painted it coral...



she wanted a mixture of different wood colors
and
a coral threw out the desk...





She loved it!  I think it came out really beautiful!
