Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......

This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile. 

It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.  

We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....

but I pulled it off and painted it.

Here they are before.  UGLY!

Do not like those 4 set handles either.

It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)

Made by Lane...

I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...

I used Old Ochre.

I get some customers who ask if

 I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.

I primed all of it except the tops...

Then I hand painted it all....

distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..

darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...

Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...

.

I waxed everything else...

 Chalk paint is super thick!

I don't like that.  So I did my flat finish.

I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,

I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...

Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.

I did a aged look on the handles...

LOVE My handles I did!!!

Here they are completed!

Way better than before!

Coral French Provincial Dresser.....

This one needed some work done.  

Here is the before.

one of the drawer bottoms was busted out...

we fully repaired that....

repaired the 2 front feet they where worn down....

sanded it down completely....

primed it of course, then painted it coral....

painted the handles gold....

Fully completed!

Looks real cute :)

French Style Over Sized Nightstand....

This was a before picture we had of this 

over sized nightstand.  It is a french style kind.  

Has lot of detail, so I decided to bring that out.... 

sanded all down of course...

I painted the body grey, then 

I gilded it with gold on the details....

I aged the whole thing, body and drawers...

I added some gold gilding to the handles too...

painted the drawers a off white and aged them...

distressed all the edges....

This is the after....

I just really love how this turned out!

French Basque White Dresser......

I had this one for awhile up for sale.  If none of ya'll know...

I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.

I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time. 

Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint

to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.  

Here is the before....

we sanded and repaired...

sealed up the hole because those handles 

where wide and ugly...

repaired all parts that where chipped off....

I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...

I love all the different colors of wood

and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....

I really love this technique on the drawers!

kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...

I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....

love our flat finish, not thick at all

and super smooth....

I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...

has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...

we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...

or it can be removed and left like this...

I am really in love with this :)

Black & Silver Serpent French Dresser Nightstand Set

This was furnished and custom painted for our new buyer Shelly.  She loved my work and picked her pieces from my album, then made an appointment to view them and decide on colors.  She picked black with brushed silver.  

This was alot of work on the dresser, as you can see it was very cosmetically damaged.  John did a FANTASTIC job on the repairs!  He sanded and I primed...then I added mutilple coats of black on all pieces..

The nightstand needed no repair just sanded and primed...

We had to head out and get some handles, because the orginals where gone on most drawers...

I painted them black like the dresser then brushed silver...

This is the drawer that had one of the huge chunks of veneer and wood missing,

can't even tell...

painted the mirror black then brushed silver over the outer popped out parts...

the top looks gorgous so smooth and flat...as all our pieces do :)

Did the same for the nightstand...black with brushed silver...

smooth and flat texture :)

This is the set without the mirror....

and here it is complete once our work has been finished!

I LOVE IT!!!   She did also:)

French Provincial Steel Grey Nightstand...

This was another of our furnished and custom pieces we did a this past weekend.  One of our new buyers wanted this in a steel grey blue color.    So I mixed some paints together and customized this color for her and hit it right on we both thought :)  

This is the before...damaged 2nd drawer front...sanded and primed of course...

repaired drawer front...plus she wanted the handles silver..so we did that...

painted with 3 coats of the steel blue paint...

Here is the after ...

It came out very nice :)

Metallic Blue & Blackened Silver French Dresser

This was a custom order for a new buyer, he wanted it in metallic colors.  He found a dresser he liked online and asked me to paint it similar... so he picked this dresser I had gotten in and these two colors:  metallic baby blue and blackened silver.   Then asked where he wanted the colors....so here is the before.... 

we stripped of course and primed...

then painted most of the body and all drawers metallic baby blue...

painted the top, middle dividers between the drawers, and hardware the metallic blackened silver...

also painted the middle curved part metallic blackened silver...

Here is the finished piece!

It is so beautiful!  He was very pleased with it and it matched his room perfectly :)

French Nightstands Shabby Chic Style Custom Order

These where furnished and custom painted for one of my new buyers :)  She wanted them to look old but wanted the wood to show up darker like I do my other pieces....so we sanded them down...

Added 3 coats of light blue paint...

distressed I mean alot of distressing...even the back of them...

added new handles....

I love how we distressed in all the right places :)  Not too much and not too little just enough...

They look so shabby chic!

Wood Finish Dresser with Black & Copper

Our previous buyers had bought this furnished and custom painted dresser we did,

then they seen these nightstands we had and wanted us to paint them to match the dresser.

 They had this dresser they found and wanted us to paint it to match the above dresser we did...

this one they found was damaged on bottom so we rebuilt it to make it sturdy and last....stripped the drawers,  and sanded down the shell, primed the shell with 2 coats of primer, and painted the shell with 4 coats of black paint.  Then painted the handles copper!

This is the finished piece....

Matching set is so gorgeous!!!

Thanks Veronica and Justine!!!

Grey French Provincial Dresser with Pink Handles

This was a before picture I was sanding it down getting ready to prime it.  My Buddy was looking at me sitting on his bench, yes HIS bench :)  My husband repaired 2 of the dovetail drawers they where missing the back pieces.  

I decided to paint it grey for the shell and I sanded the drawers down but left some cream paint on them, then stained and waxed the drawers.  Then painted the handles pink.

I used some light brown wax to bring out the wood and darken it abit.......

I love the way it came out!

Custom Painted For one of my Customers....

This was before they where scuffed and basic.....she wanted them a dark grey but not to dark , then a grey cream color.  She was undecided on the handles if I should paint them or not.....decided to keep them original just polished them up...

And here they are finished!!!!

Just gorgeous!!!!
