Mid Century Modern in Navy...


I had this early mid century modern 
dresser in my inventory for some time.
I've been pulling pieces from my inventory 
as we're getting overloaded on pieces.  
During the past 7 years we've had customer paint orders after 
another with no gap.  Well, we've gotten a large
build up of our own pieces.  Our customer orders have 
mostly been their own pieces they want us to paint.
Anyways, here is the before of the dresser I was putting 
up for sale this week while still working on my 
customer orders.


I removed the bottom piece and added
some mid century legs.  I figured it would look much better.


Stripped it down.


Stained the top drawers and legs.
Painted the rest in Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.


Hardware I painted gold.




Stained drawers in dark walnut.





I was actually undecided on color.
I had this one and other in mind.
A customer contacted me and wanted it.
So, it sold before I could list it.



Looks so beautiful!  I'm so amazed at what I can 
come up with and do sometimes!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!

Italian Provincial Rescued...


Found this italian provincial dresser and it was painted 
very badly.  I've had this for about 3 years in my 
inventory.  An interior designer Stacey Hutchins Green
that goes by "Green with Envy Interiors"
was designing a room for her client and 
picked this dresser.
She wanted it painted in a gray blue color.
I suggested Hale Navy.
She picked the semi gloss finish.
Also she picked the hardware.


We stripped it down and it took forever!



Repaired all the dents and scratches 
the best we could because it had numerous ones.


Made new holes for the handles.


Primed.



Then painted it in the hale navy.





She also wanted the drawers painted 
the same color inside and outside.





Looks amazing!!

Directorie Dresser in Hale Navy....


Part 2 of one of wonderful clients.  Her home was flooded in Harvey.
Ruined her pieces we had furnished and custom painted for her 2
years ago.  Here was the original one we found and painted for her.

Same color benjamin moore hale navy.  Then added a water 
based gloss sealer.  Polished hardware.  We searched for weeks for the
exact piece and couldn't find it. Did find one up north in Michigan,
but she wouldn't ship.  Plus she was selling the whole bedroom set.


She then fell in love with this one I had in my 
inventory for a few years.



We stripped it.





Then i primed it and painted it hale navy.
Then glossed it.




She purchased the hardware.  We had to seal in the old hardware holes.

















She loved it! How could you not it looks beautiful!
Plus with our custom finish...come on look at those
close ups 👀😲😍

Navy Blue Mediterranean Dresser.......

Well, here is a furnished and custom painted
piece we did for a client.
She had a tough decision on which piece
she wanted from our inventory.
She finally decided on this one :)

So this is how it was before.
Handles where tarnished a lot.
We stripped it all down,  primed it,
then I painted it with multiple coats of
the navy blue color she picked.
When my clients come to me I ask them to choose 
from the wide selection of colors
from the best 
paint that I love....
BENJAMIN MOORE!


Polished the handles which where solid brass...
they polished very nice I think.







She wanted it in a high gloss also....


So we applied the high gloss.....



Love our flat finish!!!!






Painted the inside also.....


High glossed the inside also....






There it is all gorgeous and navy blue with polished handles
and a high gloss just like she wanted :)
