French Chest & Dresser Refinished Tops, White Body...
Client picked these form our inventory and wanted
us to paint them in all clean white, with stained tops to shown grain,
then glossy black hardware.
Before pictures below.
Stripped hardware along with the dresser and chest.
Painted in benjamin moore white.
They came out beautiful! Show stoppers!!
Deep Blue French Dresser...
Found this french chest of drawers in a resale shop.
I was intentionally going to use only the
hardware. I just couldn't. So, I updated it.
Here is the before below.
Needed some drawer repair.
We did that and now it's in fully working order.
I sanded most of it down
and cleaned it up.
I painted it in some new chalk paint
I wanted to try out.
It's Magnolia by Joanna Gaines
in the color silos district.
My verdict on the paint, it's like any other
chalk paint out there. Only problem is
they mix it before you order it. So, it took about a week
in a half to get it. Mind you I live in Humble, TX.
That's 20 mins outside Houston, TX.
It adheres well and distresses good.
I did do 4 coats though. First coat coverage
was good, but I wanted a more even
coverage.
I added some gray and white stripped
paper to the back. This piece did have a missing drawer.
Then we added some wood pieces to the sides
and bottom to make a shelf.
I stained and sealed those.
Distressed some areas on edges. Not too over the top though.
Hardware I cleaned up and kept the white in
the creases of the handles to go with
some of the white from distressing.
To make give it a little more, I added the striped
paper to the inside drawers.
Sealed everything in a flat finish.
It's all smooth and durable.
Love this!
Would look amazing in a childs/tweens room.
Available, message if interested.
French Chest Converted to Dress Up Armoire........
One of our awesome repeat clients, texted me
a picture of a chest converted into a dress up armoire.
I told her I've done one like that before like
3 years ago and showed it to her. (You can view it in
one of my previous post from the year 2013.)
She said we where awesome and asked if we had
any chests in our inventory.
So I showed her 3 I had and she picked this one.
She wanted it Simply White by Ben Moore with
silver handles. Then a wood closet rod to match it.
This is it in one whole picture....
Here is the before...
the feet where chipped off and missing...
John got to work on the building process...
added a wood back since the other was
that thick cardboard...
stripped it all down....
added wood sides and bottom....
repaired the feet and reshaped them...
John does such an awesome job....
can't even tell it was chipped off....
stone hard structure now will not chip off like the wood did....
I primed it then painted it all white....
primed and painted the wood rod and wood holders....
John installed it with the right measurements
so the hangers can be removed without
a problem...
stripped, primed, painted, and sealed the hardware....
our smooth flat thin finish....
It is so super cute! Her little girl is going to love it!
Thank you Brooke for thinking of us!
