Navy Italian Provincial Distressed.....
I can't wait for the new year! I have tons of furniture in
my 2 huge rv stoarge warehouses. I started to limit my custom orders.
I'm so blessed that we have been booked straight with custom orders
for the past 8 years. Like every single week was an order. We loved it!
But it got to be really stressful, I got into this business to
relieve and help ,with my anxiety issues. Painting helped and still does help me.
But I want to start painting my own pieces and put them out for sale.
I'm still going to be doing custom orders, just not to where I have no
room to breathe. Hope that makes sense.
So I'm booked with custom orders till February, but after that
I'm cutting loose! Then, hopefully if customers come to me and want me to
paint something for them, I can say it'll be ready in a week..instead
of 6 months! I've been working on cutting back on custom orders since March
of 2018. It took this long to get some breathing room.
Ok, so to this beautiful Italian provincial below.
Had some damage on the top so we couldn't stain it
like I initially wanted to. Repaired that.
Then I painted it in a custom color mix.
General finishes coastal blue and queeenstown gray.
I thought coastal blue was too dark.
Loving this navy color. Let's just hope I can
make it again.
Distressed edges. Painted the hardware in a custom
mix of bronze and a rusty color.
I think oil rubbed bronze is too dark sometimes.
Sealed in a flat sealer.
Priced at $510.

Antique Buffet in Linen...
Client contacted me and wanted
to know if I had any buffets in stock.

It needed some repair as the body was coming
apart from the whole structure.
Then the right leg was chewed up.
Leg chewed up below.
I showed her this picture I found on Instagram

She loved that look but wasn't sure.
She researched awhile and kept coming
back to this design. Which is what she decided on.
Top was stripped along with top 3 drawers.
Picture below.
We repaired the structure to make it solid again.
Then repaired the chewed foot to match the rest.
Picture below.

New client found me on my blog. Contacted me
from my blog as most do, she wanted a quote on this
antique table she found.
The table needed some gluing and stripping
on the top because the current finish was
bubbling up.
Before below.
She decided on brick red from General Finishes Milk Paint.
Basically she wanted it in a aged red finish.
Below is it painted in just brick red no sealing yet.
.
Then started distressing.
Then glazed with van dyke brown and sealed

She loved it! Looks really beautiful!
Charcoal Gray Aged Dresser.....
I had this piece in my current as is unpainted
inventory for sale. I pulled it and decided to custom
paint it in my own color and design.
Here is the before below.
We filled in the top four knobs and added some extra
holes on the bottom drawers. Stripped it all down and filled
in some veneer that had bubbled up.
I wanted to stain the drawers because of the beautiful
wood on drawers, but once stained it covered it all up.
So, I painted it using general finishes milk paint
in queenstown gray.
Added some duncan phyfe handles.
Then aged it with some van dyke brown glaze.
Sealed the final coat in a satin finish.
Love the small removeable tray too!
I think it came out really nice :)
Gray MCM Dresser.........
I usually put up pieces we get in for
sale as is or I can custom paint it for you in the color of
your choice. This one though I wanted to paint in a color
I chose. I don't get to do that as much as
I'm pretty busy with custom client orders.
So here is the before below.
I sanded it down, I didn't go down to the bare wood
because I was going to use general finishes milk paint.
I just sanded it down more because I wanted too.
Formica top, I sanded that down also.
Repaired the back legs because they had missing
chunks of wood. Smoothed it all out now it looks
like it wasn't even there. We don't use wood putty
either as that shrinks with time. Our repair we
do will last forever and is rock solid.
Primed it all.
Then I painted it in queenston gray, the camera took
a bright picture though so this is not the true color.
Kept the hardware the same just cleaned them.
This one below is more the color.
I really love this modern look.
This is currently for sale.
Duncan Phyfe Dresser Painted and Glazed.....
I received an email from who was to be one
of our new clients and another wonderful person
I've had the pleasure of meeting.
She was here visiting here in Houston for a
couple of days, she traveled from Tennessee where she resides.
She really liked this dresser I had and my work.
So we talked on the phone and relayed messages
back and forth like I do with all my clients.
She had sent me a picture of a similar dresser she liked the color
it was painted. So I tried to match it the closest I could.
She settled on General Finishes Milk Paint color Basil.
Then wanted the Van Dyke Glaze over that.
So here is the before.....
Now, general finishes says to lightly sand,but I like to strip
them down which we did.....repaired
all the missing veneer....
then I primed it all....
painted it all basil.....
she wanted the hardware kept original, which
was a fantastic choice as it really adds to the aged feel....
added the glaze....
All finished! I love the color and glaze together on this
Duncan Phyfe Dresser it makes it looks really old :)
Beautiful!
