Antiqued Old White Dining Set, Buffet, Hutch...
Client who we did the previous post for which
was the navy french dresser/nightstand set,
wanted us to do her antique
dining set also.
Before photos below.
Glass hutch.
Small side buffet.
Top of buffet was damaged.
All 6 chairs.
Stripped the top side buffet.
Stripped the 3 leaves for the table.
Stripped table top.
She wanted the leaves and table refinished because it
had water rings/stains.
She wanted my opinions on some designs for the look.
She knew she wanted the annie sloan
old white antiqued look I've done before.
She fell in love with the antique set we
had previously done for her friend (our previous client).
Which was the old white antiqued look.
But, she was on a budget from Harvey.
She intentionally wanted everything refinished
and stained. Although, we don't do that anymore
and it would be very expensive.
I suggested painting only the outside of the glass hutch
and cleaning up/sealing the inside.
Then, I suggested we paint the whole
side buffet to bring in more
of the old white look.
We refinished the table top/leaves though as they where
rough looking.
Sealed them all with 5 coats of sealer.
All three leaves refinished and looking beautiful.
Chairs we cleaned up and sealed them all.
Keeping more of the wood
in the mix instead of painting the chairs
would really bring everything together.
Especially for the design of the pieces.
She provided her new fabric and we upholstered
them all.
She was very pleased with the outcome!
I was too.
Buffet & China Cabinet in Dark Navy.....
New client contacted me thru my blog and wanted me
to custom paint her antique buffet & china cabinet (hutch).
She viewed my blog for a bit and picked the custom navy
blue with antiquing I've done with Annie Sloan.
I custom mixed the color (sometimes I don't quite remember the
exact measurements so I have play with it).
Before picture of the buffet below.
After I custom painted it and antiqued it (no distressing)
pictures below.
Smooth thin finish.
I kept the hardware original. She left that up to me.
She just wanted me to do what I do basically.
Said she loved my work and trusted my artistry.
She wanted the inside painted.
I just love this look!
Next, was the hutch.
Before pictures below.
Same color and finish as the buffet above.
She wanted everything painted, so we took
apart everything.
Painted the inside top and bottom parts.
My smooth thin finish.
It takes a whole lot of time, paint, and work
to get these looks I do. I mean lots of work.
The detailing, numerous coats of paint I do
but in the end, I always always always love the outcome.
Plus, the bonus is the clients reaction when they see it 💝
Custom Painted Clients Kitchen Set.....
A client that found me online asked me to
redo her table and buffet set.
She was moving in a new house and wanted
a different look.
She decided on black with the wood showing
to make it look aged.
This is after we sanded it down to prepare the painting process...
we took everything apart.
Cabinets, screws, hinges, glass, mirrors, metal parts on legs, etc....
These where the chairs before....
This is the table set after we painting and distressed....
she has the glass top that goes on the
table base...
these are the close ups of the table and chairs...
we actually took the whole table base
apart to paint it....
she will be adding the glass piece
to the table base....
here is the buffet I primed all the weaved parts....
painted the inside also...
distressed....
the sun makes the color look off...
the hutch....
she wanted me to remove the mirrors
that where in the back....
then paint the back wood panels silver
with black glaze....
Here it is completed all she needs is the new fabric on the chair pads :)
Looks so much better and updated!
Love it!!!
Two Solid Wood 1960's Pantry Cabinet Shelves
These where just all wood colored when I found them. I always see painted ones that are all painted. I couldn't do that to these. I wanted to show some of the wood as it was just to pretty to cover up.
So I painted this one teal green in some areas. Then painted the grooved areas and handles grey. Added some small fencing wire to the back top cabinets and painted those grey also.
This one has 3 drawers as shown....
This one I painted white in some areas. Then painted the grooved areas and handles black.
Now, they look fabulous! Just alittle touch of color was all they needed....
