Before/After!

Antique Chest Of Drawers Painted Shabby White....

Found this old maple dresser and it had some damage.

The bottom where the feet are was coming undone.

We took it apart, reinforced it and now it's real sturdy like new.

The top as with all these maple dressers split

apart on the wood.  So we repaired that and nailed 

all of them down after we glued it.

I left the split seams as I wanted it to go with the

shabby look.

Painted it in a white shabby chic look.

Distressed edges.

Kept hardware original I think they are 

beautiful as is.

Love it!  Paint makes dull furniture pieces 

look so much better.  Brings more life to it.

Available, message if interested.

French Country Cottage Chest....

It's been awhile since I posted.  I've been 

like really super busy with orders, pick ups, deliveries, 

and life.  So I will be posting 2 entries today.

Here we go, this was a furnished and custom

painted order for one of my cousins who loves my work.

She wanted this chest custom painted like

another dresser I had done, but with no distress.

So white with cream and dark bronze hardware.

Here is the before....

I sanded it all down and primed everything....

painted the shell all white....

then painted the drawers a cream color.....

then painted the hardware dark bronze....

I actually color matched the cream to Annie

Sloan old ochre....

All completed and looks beautiful!

Antique Highboy Chest Painted White with Black......

I had this for along time now and finally had some time to paint it.

  I painted worked on this while waiting for another piece 

that was a custom order to finish being

prepped for me to paint it.

This is the before...

this is the sanded down and repaired part...

I peeled off the veneer on the bottom instead of repairing it,

glued the rest down so it wouldn't

continue to peel...

I wanted this to look like a old piece...

then repaired the top part because it's the top!

That needs to look good!

Then I painted it black,  then primed it white, and

then painted it white....

distressed the edges so the black could come threw...

painted the handles black...

Here it is finished!  Looks really pretty I think :)

Ornate Puzzle Design Highboy Painted White.....

So this was a furnished and custom order piece.  I had this one for awhile although I kept forgetting to put it in my unfinished album :) So one of our new buyers seen it in my storage when she was coming to drop off some pieces she wanted me to paint for her.  She had found me on the internet and seen my work.  She said we where amazing!  She is so awesome :)  Anyways, she seen this one and wanted it.  She said to paint it all white no distressing.

Here is was before drawers where not in the right order...

so we sanded down and primed it....

polished the handles and painted it white with multiple coats....

so I sent her a picture as I always do after I'm done...

I said if she was sure on no distressing

I think it would look good distressed with

all the ornate drawers it had.....

she said go for it and distress it

so I did....

it looks so much better I think...

the handles are so gorgeous!

she loved it!

This is it done and distressed :)

Looks beautiful!

French Provincial Highboy & French Triple Dresser Painted Revere Pewter........

This was a custom order for another of our new buyers.  We furnished and custom painted these for her.  She wanted them to match but have different color handles and have the tops a wood finish.  The highboy was for her son and the triple was for her daughter.

Here is the french highboy.  It has a glass top which was never removed so we didn't have to touch that part.

The bottom right foot was clipped off so John repaired that part.  

He did a fantastic job on that!

Here is the triple dresser with a high gloss on it and missing handles so we 

sealed the left and right side drawers up

and added some new holes to fit the

french handles we had.

She wanted high gloss black for the highboy handles...

The top was just shined up to cover any knicks....

We sanded and primed it...

Painted it with numerous coats of revere pewter....

We refinished the top of the triple one......

stained it and added some poly to it......

Stripped this one down, primed it....

She wanted these handles and knobs silver....

Then we painted this one with numerous coats

of revere pewter also...

Here they are both finished!

BEAUTIFUL!

Custom Order Shabby Chic White Thomasville Dresser Set

This was an order for a new buyer who we furnished and painted this for her.  She wanted this set painted in a shabby chic style, but only the edges and the popped out parts to be distressed.  

So we sanded it, primed it twice, and the added 3 coats of white paint...

distressed what needed to be distressed.....

There's not much to say on this the pictures speak for themselves....

Painted the handles dark bronze....

the finish is so awesome....like all my pieces :)

Here are the finished pieces...

I'm so in love :)

Antique Dresser Chest Painted Grey & White....

I had this for sale as one of my unfinished pieces and I decided to paint it with my own choice of colors.....it is solid wood throughout.  Very heavy and solid.  The finish on it was so thick.  It took John 2 days to strip it to the bare wood. Must have been 5 layers of lacquer finish on it.  We actually got it like this already, the person looks like they tried to sand it but it was to much.  So we finished it :)  

Primed the drawers with 3 coats of primer and painted 5 coats of off white paint to the drawers.....

polished off the crud from the handles and painted them Gold.....

Even has dividers in the 3rd drawer!

Painted the shell 5 coats of Grey paint....distressed it very little on the edges....

I know I always say this....but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Mid Century Modern Set In Off White...

This was a the other order for Sara who I did the custom order for the golden dresser.  She also wanted this dresser set from us and wanted them painted also.  We decided to go with a more neutral color for her smokey grey walls.  So we chose a off white color.....

This is the before..  

These are after John sanded them down to the bare wood....

John also repaired a broken wood trim on the bottom right drawer as you can see in the picture....

This is after I did 3 coats of primer......

Here is the finished highboy....after 3 coats of the off whitepaint

John polished the handles....

This is the finished long dresser...after 3 coats of the off white paint

Here is the finished set.....

Looks very clean and super stylish!!!!

Love it :)

Grey French Provincial Dresser with Pink Handles

This was a before picture I was sanding it down getting ready to prime it.  My Buddy was looking at me sitting on his bench, yes HIS bench :)  My husband repaired 2 of the dovetail drawers they where missing the back pieces.  

I decided to paint it grey for the shell and I sanded the drawers down but left some cream paint on them, then stained and waxed the drawers.  Then painted the handles pink.

I used some light brown wax to bring out the wood and darken it abit.......

I love the way it came out!

Grey Custom Order Set Dresser Desk Headboard

This was a custom order for one of my repeat buyers, she picked out these that I had, and said she wanted them painted like one of my dressers I had done before.  I actually had to look for a headboard for her and she liked this one I found.  For the dresser I forgot to take pictures of the before...

The desk was painted a black lacquer and needed repair, so we fixed the damaged parts and sanded them all down, primed them...  

And here they are!!!  Grey with black handles :)

Looks super awesome!!!!!

1950's Dresser given a modern look....

This was a custom order, she wanted it to look like one of my previous dresser I painted.....

so we stripped this down, the lacquer on this was so thick.  It took alot of sanding to get it off.   Then I primed it and....

Done, this is the after.....

teal outer shell, grey drawers, and pink handles......

This is super cute, just right for a little girl:)

Hot Pink Dresser with Shelf

This was a custom order for one of my new buyers.  She wanted my hot pink color I have used before with silver handles.  This one was missing a drawer, so we added a shelf.

Sealed up the nicks and dents on the sides.....

sanded and primed it.....added the shelf....

Here it is finished!!!

It is gorgeous!!

Teal and Purple Dresser

This was before.......I had numerous ideas for this one!  We actually got this with no legs, my husband had some and attached them and it looks real nice.  So we sanded, took off the back wood panels behind the spindles.  Then primed it and....

I painted it a mixed teal color,  

Painted the handles purple....

then painted the inside top drawers purple also to bring out the handles.

Now, this looks real cute!

Royal Blue Dresser

This was the before...

I list alot of my unfinished pieces for sale until I can get to them.  This was one of those.  It was damaged on the top front part of the drawer and the drawer itself.  So my husband repaired that and sealed up the two holes to replace it with a single knob to fit the other two single knobs on the top drawer.  Sanded it down......

Then here is the after....

Royal Blue .....

Can't tell it was damaged....

painted the handles silver....

Looks real nice, I love those two colors together....

French Provincial Dixie Dresser

This one was pretty as is but I need my pieces with some color, I mean real color!  I was really flip floppy with this one.  I didn't know what colors to choose as I was looking for a two tone cause that's what I mainly like.  So my sweet husband (love him so much) sanded it down and I came up with this.....

Emerald Green top and part of the drawers....

Grey shell and part of the drawers.....

with silver handles!

I JUST L-O-V-E IT!!!!!!   

Consider H Willett Dresser with a updated new look....

This was before when we got it the 3rd drawer was messed up as you can see and the paint job was not the best nor was the color....

So after sanding it down to the wood and repairing the drawer, also repairing other small details.  I looked at it and thought....what color does she need to be?  She is big and beautiful so she needs a color that would make her stand out but not too much. 

 So I decided on one of my colors that I love GREEN!  Then I added some handles and knobs to make her look even more gorgeous!

Then I added a very slightly aged look to it with some light brown wax.  Not to much just enough.

She is very solid heavy wood and very roomy.  I think she looks much better now.....

Teal Green Dresser & Table Drawer

I should have taken a picture of this one, but forgot!  Anyways, the top drawer was off of the front so we had to repair that.  Then sanded it down and painted it teal green color I made.  Painted the handles gold.

To match the handles I decided to paint the sides gold also.

Did the same to this one sanded down then painted a teal green color I made and painted handles gold.

Also painted the sides gold to match!  Love them so:)

Smokey Grey Steampunk Dresser

Went steampunk with this one.  Painted it smokey grey, then crackled the handles black and white.  Even painted the side of the drawers.  Looks awesome!  

Daisy Yellow Ornate Dresser

       I know I say this alot, but I just   L-O-V-E  this one.  I have been wanting to paint a yellow, but was waiting on the perfect dresser.  I love how the yellow brings out the handles they are just gorgeous.  Picked the perfect yellow too :)  This would just brighten up anyone's day and room!  Stained the inside and outside drawers also I think it goes more with the color.  Textured the drawers just to give it a little more pop :)
