Light distress.



This is all solid wood and very well built.
Inside stamped 1949.




Aged the original hardware.

with whites, golds, creams. 
Perfect for changing table, media stand,
or a buffet.  The drawers are very solid and can hold a good
amount of weight.
Excellent height too.

Italian Mid Century......



Our repeat client that has been coming to us for years
wanted this beautiful baker italian mcm dresser we had.
Here is the before below.



We stripped it down.






John does a fantastic job stripping it down to the bare wood.


I primed it.


She designs her place so beautifully and wanted this
piece in a certain look.
She chose Dorian Grey from sherwin williams
that I color matched with benjamin moore.
Then she wanted it lighten by 70%.
Below is the color painted on it already.



Smooth flat finish.



We had to get new backplates for the hardware as one 
was missing.  We both loved the look of the hardware after.


I painted the hardware a beautiful gold she chose.












Beautiful!

Aged Light Gray Chest.....


Had this in my inventory for since the summer
and decided to pull it and paint in my own design.


It's a high end chest of drawers made by white fine
company with a solid wood back nailed in.
Very solid structure and quality.  



I removed all the hardware and replaced it 
with new hardware.




I chose to do a light gray for the look I wanted ,
I custom mixed the color also.


I used chalk paint and sprayed it on 
no hand painting.


The hardware I wanted was something
 to bring out the piece, but not too
flashy or too plain.


I wanted to keep some of the clean lines which is why
I chose these handles.


I aged it but didn't distress it.





Super flat and smooth finish.  





I also painted the bottom metal sleeves
and the cabinet door hinges to match the
color of the hardware.




Painted all of the inside cabinet area.


I aged the inside also.



The middle slats are removable.


They just slide out.



The inside dividers on the 1st drawer are removable also.













Really happy with how it turned out!

Headboard, Mirror, Navy Blue, Gray Mantel....

This was a custom order.  A client contacted me 
from my blog and wanted us to paint 
these pieces for her.
mantel, headboard, and mirror.
She wanted the mantel to be a color
on her comforter she just bought.
So I suggested a lighter gray.
That way it would go with her decor in case 
she ever changed it.
Here is the mantel before we stripped it down.


Then primed and painted.


She wanted us to seal in all the staple holes
that where previously there.





Then she had us do this beautiful Mediterranean mirror!
She wanted this to match a new comforter 
also she had just bought. 
So I suggested a navy blue. 
She loved that idea on color :)



We primed and painted this the navy blue....




We always take out the mirrors....
you don't want to be sloppy with mirrors
because you have to look at them so much :)


Here is the headboard....



we primed and painted it the navy blue.....








Here they all are completed!
She really loved them :)
