Customer Order..Dorian Gray Italian Provincial Dresser
I started up customer orders on a case to case basis.
I had stopped for 10 months to get some of my
own pieces out for sale. Plus, started a new format on how I will be
taking customer orders now too.
This was her husbands childhood dresser that he had
since he was 5 year sold!
They wanted it in Dorian Gray with a dark stained top.
Before above. Had some veneer damage on one of the drawers and top
corner side.
We repaired all the missing chipped veneer.
Sanded it down.
Stripped the top.
Primed it.
Stained the top in Kona.
It came out beautiful with all that grain showing.
Painted in Dorian Gray.
She wanted to keep the original hardware.
I think it was an excellent choice too.
Top coated everything in a satin sealer.
Looks amazing! Her husband was so happy with the outcome too!
Italian Provincial In Dorian Gray....
Had this Italian Provincial highboy for 3 years. The dresser I sold as is.
This one had missing hardware. So, I couldn't list it as is.
I finally have time to get to my project pieces now that I've
discontinued my customer orders. Yay!!
Before above and below.
Stripped it down and sealed in the old hardware holes.
We made new holes for the new hardware.
After I primed it, I painted it in Dorian Gray.
I purchased new modern hardware in aged bronze.
I had to get smaller hardware for the top
4 drawers and larger for the bottom 2 drawers.
Coin shelf is removable.
SOLD!

Before, during, and after!
Love the new modern updated look!
Light Gray Italian Provincial Dresser...
I scored this italian provincial dresser made by Century
off the internet! Before below.
Had some damage to veneer, plus the legs where loose.
The legs are not screwed in so we had to
really reinforce them. Now there tight and sturdy.
I sanded it down, primed it, and painted it in
Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray.
I had a customers who we used this color
for on for her order a few years ago.
I fell in love with it!
Thank you Brooke 😘
I changed out the top knobs hardware for some
of my favorite I had in my inventory.
The bottom handles I kept original but took off
the floral back ends.
I did a clean finish on this one.
No distressing. This finish is more
time consuming, because of the sanding down.
Then priming, then painting. Which you have to do when
painting with latex. Which I've become a pro
at since this is basically what the majority
of my customers asked for on their orders.
Which has been since 2012.
The finish I do holds up also. I've had customers from 2013
that their pieces still look amazing.
This one came out so beautiful though!
Love it...I mean I know I say that
a lot but just look at it?!
Ha Ha 😄

Medium Grey Large Nightstands....
New client who had been following me for some time
wanted us to custom paint these large
nightstands she had purchased off Craigslist.
She wanted the old hardware holes sealed in
and painted in a medium grey.
Here is the before for both below.
We stripped them and sealed in the older
hardware holes.
I primed them both.
Then I painted them the medium grey she chose.
I used ben moore in dorian grey.
She loved them!
She'll be adding the hardware herself soon.
Italian Mid Century......
Our repeat client that has been coming to us for years
wanted this beautiful baker italian mcm dresser we had.
Here is the before below.
We stripped it down.
John does a fantastic job stripping it down to the bare wood.
I primed it.
She designs her place so beautifully and wanted this
piece in a certain look.
She chose Dorian Grey from sherwin williams
that I color matched with benjamin moore.
Then she wanted it lighten by 70%.
Below is the color painted on it already.
Smooth flat finish.
We had to get new backplates for the hardware as one
was missing. We both loved the look of the hardware after.
I painted the hardware a beautiful gold she chose.
Beautiful!
