Italian Provincial In Dorian Gray....
Had this Italian Provincial highboy for 3 years. The dresser I sold as is.
This one had missing hardware. So, I couldn't list it as is.
I finally have time to get to my project pieces now that I've
discontinued my customer orders. Yay!!
Before above and below.
Stripped it down and sealed in the old hardware holes.
We made new holes for the new hardware.
After I primed it, I painted it in Dorian Gray.
I purchased new modern hardware in aged bronze.
I had to get smaller hardware for the top
4 drawers and larger for the bottom 2 drawers.
Coin shelf is removable.
SOLD!

Vintage Italian Provincial Dresser in Queenstown Gray....
I was eventually going to work on this
vintage Italian provincial with mid century modern
straight lines. It was in the back of my inventory though.
So I couldn't get to it till I got to the one in the front.
I was going to do it a dark gray or navy.
One of my followers contacted me asking if I had
a particular piece in a certain look. I sent her a picture of this one.
She put down her deposit and I pulled it out.
Here is the before below.
It had some major wear on top.
We stripped it down.
Sealed in the major scratches and dents.
I primed it.
I gave her some colors to choose from and she chose
General Finishes Queenstown Gray.
Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.
We cleaned up the hardware to reveal a
beautiful brass gold.
It came out very beautiful!
Before/After below.
Italian Provincial Chest in Evergreens....
Had this italian provincial style high dresser in my
inventory up as is. Customer wanted it, but painted.
Here is the before below.
Primed and repaired everything.
It was in good condition for as is.
But for painted, we needed to fill in dents.
Make sure the drawers didn’t rub
against each other once painted.
She wanted an olive or dark green color.
I gave her choices in colors and she decided on
Sherwin Williams Evergreens.
I loved that color as soon as I seen it.
So was hoping she’d pick it.
She wanted hardware painted in gold.
She loves it, it will be going in
her newborns nursery ❤️
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!!
Italian Provincial Dresser Nightstand Set Painted in Antique White...
One of our clients wanted this italian provincial
dresser and nightstand set with her big order..
She picked these from our inventory.
The next few posts will be a continued part of her order.
Here is the before pictures below.
She picked antique white by General Finishes milk paint.
Then sealed in high performance flat.
All done in a no brush stroke finish as always.
She wanted a clean finish.
She loved it! I mean look at it who wouldn't!!
My family actually cause the horrible stomach virus
going around a week ago. But we kept on
working as soon as we
started feeling better (which was a whole week later!!).
We're bombarded with orders
so we need to keep moving along.
Here it is in her home after we delivered it!!
Italian Provincial In Simply White...
New client picked this beautiful italian provincial
dresser from our inventory. She placed her order back in august.
We're always booked so my turnaround time is mostly always
2-4 months. Most of our clients that wait that long
have been looking for that professional smooth finish.
Which is why I guess they wait for us. Others are referrals from
our other clients that have seen our pieces
up close and see our work. We really appreciate all of them too.
She wanted this in a eggshell white to match the crib
and decor in her nursery.
Here is the before below.
After we sealed in all the scratches and dents because she
asked for that when she came to see it before placing her order.
We sanded, primed, and painted it.
Done in simply white by Benjamin Moore.
Shes going to add hardware later when she
finds the perfect set.
We had a hard time trying to get that perfect sheen
to match her nursery decor & crib.
BUT! I tried something new and made it work.
Sealed in a eggshell finish.
She really liked it! Said it matched perfectly. 😅

can't even tell such a smooth repair job...
polished the hardware...
had to show close up's of my flat finish....
