Gray Aged French Dresser....

I have tons of pieces in my storage units.

Usually if a client contacts me and asks

for specific pieces in certain sizes and 

looks I mostly have them.  Just not listed 

yet as most need repairs.

Or if I feel they'd sale better painted I 

pull them to the back.

This french dresser was one of those.

She needed a max 62" french and this was 

a 61".  She fell in love with it.

Before below.

She wanted a light gray light distressed finish.

Hardware kept original.

After I custom painted it below.

She loved it!  Even her neighbor who was walking her dogs

when we delivered it loved it!

You just never know what I have hidden in my inventory 😉

Duncan Phyfe Buffet...

We had this beautiful duncan phyfe buffet for some time

in our inventory.  I wanted to put a painted piece of my own

design out for sale and chose this buffet.

Here is the before below.  We repaired cosmetic damage.

Stripped the top down.

Then, I refinished the top.  

I used a custom mix of stains for the refinished top.

Sealed it in a satin poly.

I decided to keep this beautiful hardware.

I also painted and antiqued the 

hardware also.  

Painted the body in a light gray chalk paint

I custom mixed.  

Antiqued it in some areas but no distressing.

I really love how it came out!

Stormy Blue Duncan Phyfe Dresser.......

I had this beautiful duncan phyfe dresser for about 

3 months in my inventory not listed as available.

I have quite a few like that in my inventory that are

not listed.  Some need repair and some need stripping.

This particular one needed some repair.  

After John repaired it I just went ahead and painted it 

in my own color design.

I went for a stormy blue color with some gray tints

in it.  I custom made this color from annie sloan

chalk paint.

Aged it but didn't distress it.  I didn't think the look 

I was going for would look good distressed.  

My smooth flat finish.

I also painted and aged the hardware.

Loving this piece.

Mid Century Modern Gray Dresser

We got this mcm dresser in, it was way to damaged 

to put up as is.  So, we tackled it on right away.

Here is the before....

we stripped it down, repaired all the missing veneer 

added legs, then I primed it, and

custom painted it gray.....

polished the brass knobs...

and handles...

and the brass tips of the legs....

our smooth flat finish....

this is why I love latex paint, as long as 

you know how to prep it and lay it down,

then add a good protective sealer,

it comes out awesome!

Plus latex has such a variety of colors.....

and durable....

Beautiful and sleek!

Our finish is very durable with normal everyday use.

I've had repeat clients from 3 years ago

say the furniture we custom painted for them looks

as if we just finished it.

Benjamin Moore latex paint is our #1 paint we use.

Custom Painted Pieces for Interior Designer..........

As most of you know, I sell my furniture pieces

unfinished or we can custom paint them for you.  

Our unfinished pieces are most of the time a blank

canvas.  Which means you can paint them however you

want if you buy unfinished.  

So, an interior designer named Stephanie Ruckert

contacted me for one of my unfinished pieces.

She wanted us to deliver it unfinished. 

Then, she viewed my blog and called back

for us to custom paint 6 of her pieces.

She told us she had just purchased a house in The Woodlands, TX.

What she is doing is remodeling the whole house

to show different styles of decorating houses.

Basically, her home will be a display of her interior designs.

She mixes industrial and vintage together.

It is so awesome looking!

She calls herself "Free Spirit Finds"

Here is the antique buffet she wanted it repaired as shown

we are doing.....

then she picked out a teal color...

wanted us to age it where it

would naturally age,,,,

we sanded it completely down after repairing it...

sealed the wood and painted it all teal except the hardware....

then added a satin finish.....

Wow!  Looks beautiful!

Next, was a dresser that had a thick yellow finish on it...

this was the only before picture I could get as

 John started on it before I 

could get a picture...

The hardware was a heavy black....

we stripped the whole thing even the hardware....

primed it all....

then painted it gray...

added the high gloss...

also primed the hardware....

painted the hardware gold with a high gloss...

Love this lock!

This one came out fantastic!!!

Then, she had this old radio/record player

from when she was small...

wanted us to paint it yellow with a high gloss....

we sanded it all down, primed it....

then painted it yellow...

then added the high gloss which you really

 can't tell as the sun wasn't out...

 

Done and awesome!!!

I still have 3 other pieces I'm working on,

once completed I will post them.

French Regency turned into Media Cabinet....

A new client who said she has been

following me for awhile wanted us to 

paint one of our pieces for her.

So she picked this french regency dresser.

She wanted us to turn it into a media cabinet.

Then she wanted it gray with aged edges.

So here it was before....

we sanded it all down...

then added the shelves do it would be

nice and sturdy...

painted everything gray to make it look all even...

distressed the edges....

painted the outer sides of the top drawer 

so it can look like a wall....

Look at how smooth that top is....

This is it completed!

Looks fantastic!

Grey Antique Dresser Chest....

This chest was picked form my inventory by a client

who found me online and wanted me to 

paint it a grey.  She also wanted it lightly distressed

which means only on edges.

Then she bought her own knobs to add more 

appeal to it.

So here was the before.....

We repaired the side that was pulled apart...

sanded her down completely...

then painted her the grey....

the knobs make this look super beautiful!

I distressed on the edges to show a little age....

here is a close up of my distressing...

very fine and neat....

Here it is completed!

Just beautiful and so clean!
