French Provincial Bedroom Set.......

This was a referral order.  A client of ours that

contacted us last summer in 2014 wanted us to paint

her french provincial dresser teal and gold. 

 (You can search for that post in my blog) 

 She referred us to her friends who had a french set

that wanted theirs painted also.  Plus, they wanted a 

pedestal table bottom and chair repaired, that 

will be in the next post.

Here is the set below....

They wanted a slight cream color with 

newly refinished tops...

Then slight distress on edges with handles 

kept original.

So we sanded all of them down....

I stained the tops with the color she picked

 plus, added polycrylic to them....

I just really love our smooth finish....

I primed and then painted it the cream color....

Distressed all edges....

I love our smooth finish!!! 

We work really hard and long to achieve that....

This is why I tell my clients I take at least

minimum 1 week on my orders

depending on how big the order is...

It takes some time to get this smooth flat look....

ALOT of hard work.....

I just love how much our clients appreciate

our work to refer us to their

friends....

that really means a lot :)

As always, they came out just beautiful!!!!

A big thanks to Crystal for her referral

and thanks to Jamie & Ashley for having us

custom paint their dresser set.

Restoration Style Baby French Provincial Dresser with Topper......

So I got a new buyer who was looking for a dresser like this one from restoration hardware for baby plus painted liked it.  She wanted it with more curves like a french provincial style.  Plus she wanted a changing topper like the ones they sell at restoration hardware so when the baby grows she can take it off and use it as a dresser.

So I showed her this one I had, told her we could take the top off and make it into what she wanted...

she didn't want the french handles though so she got the rounded knobs....

So we took the top off, sanded it down, took the back off....

filled in the holes that held the top together with the bottom...

then John cut a piece of wood to match the curves on the curved piece 

the top part of the dresser was attached to

so he can make the baby changing topper..

placed it on the bottom for support...

we filled in the holes so we could use only the single knobs....

primed it and painted it with multiple coats for primer and paint...

we put together the changing topper...

added some felt to the topper so it wouldn't scratch the top of the dresser...

added some hinges to the back so she can lift it if she needs to clean....

replaced the back with a new board...

she wanted it painted like the other one,

so she went to restoration hardware to get the matching paints....

I distressed it in certain spots .....

painted the groved parts the sage color...

painted the outside trim of the drawers also the sage...

distressed the sage parts and some of the cream parts...

She loved it!  I do too :)  Looks really good.
