Silver Antique Dining Table...
Past client that purchased a painted white dresser from
us which we delivered to Austin for them.
She seen my blog loved my work,
asked if we could repair & repaint their large
antique dining table.
Here is the before below.
The table was so large that it sagged
in the middle. The leaves it had where only meant to
be in for a short time then taken out.
Although, she wanted them in forever.
John repaired that part.
Before below.
It had 7 layers of different paint under it.
When it was 1st painted it wasn't stripped.
So, the original paint, plus the what they painted over it with
black paint the silver paint then glazes...
you get the picture.
We stripped it which took about 2 to 3 days.
It was messy.
Primed it.
She previously wanted silver with champagne
detail. I used modern masters metallic paint
in silver & champagne.
I did one leg and showed her the picture.
She didn't like it, I thought it looked good.
It wasn't what she pictured so she went with all silver.
Here it is all silver.
The repair John did to stabilize the middle part of the
table. Very sturdy now.
Sealed in a water based semi gloss sealer
for protection.
Looks so amazing!! Matches really well with her decor.
Antique Brass Chandelier Painted Silver...
One of our wonderful previous clients wanted us to custom
paint her chandelier she had in her older home.
She's having her new home built and wanted this
updated in a silver to match her decor in the new home.
So, here is the before below.
I removed all the glass crystals, In our messages back and forth
I provided her different silver from different brands.
She decided on modern masters metallic paint in
silver.
So I cleaned the chandelier, primed it, and painted it.
Cleaned all the glass crystals also.
I just love this new look. It's so modern but, with an antique feel.
Desk, Dresser, and Vanity Custom Order.....
One of our repeats clients came to us with more of
their furniture they wanted us to custom paint.
Most of the time we have a waiting list that is months long.
My clients are very patient in waiting, which I so much appreciate.
These particular clients we have already done 6 pieces
for them in the past year. This order will make 9!
Love it! I have numerous clients with just about the same numbers of
pieces we've done. I'm so glad our clients appreciate our hard work.
Ok, here we go.
this was a before of the desk top, we get started on them and
I forget to take befores sometimes. Which I did with this one.
They wanted a refinished top and a soft teal on bottom.
No distress.
we stripped everything even the top,
forgot to take the picture of that part....
but I got the bottom,
primed the bottom and painted it teal....
it's going to match the teal we did on the dresser with silver handles
which you can see in a previous post....
stripped and stained the top...
Then hvlp sprayed a poly over that....
It looks really cute!
Next, was the dresser. Here's the before....
remembered to take a picture before, we had already
started the repairs and stripping....
stripped it down.....this one had a formica top....
primed everything and painted it the light cream...
no distress and kept the handles original...
Had some slight cracks in the wood on the drawers,
we had to seal those in....
Looks fantastic!
Last, is the vanity....
the before below...
stripped it all down and repaired where needed....
primed it all and she wanted a metallic champagne color..
Looks really beautiful, I love metallic colors!
Mediterranean Dresser Painted in Metallic Champagne & Gold....
This was a referral custom order. One of our previous clients
loved my work on a dresser they purchased from us
and had us custom paint for them. So, they referred me to their friend!
She showed me this picture and wanted me to match
the finish to the dresser she picked out from our inventory.
These are her nightstands, I went over and looked at them
in person at her house.
I just couldn't perfect that finish. The colors and glaze/wax where
everywhere on the color grid, along with a certain gold color I couldn't
pinpoint.
This is the dresser she picked out.....
so she asked what else I could do and
I suggested a few combo ideas and
she agreed on this one below!
we sanded it all down and added 4 feet that would
be similar to the nightstands....
Primed it all and painted it a mix of metallic colors
from Ralph Lauren and Modern Masters
for the body....
The mixture of the colors I did came
out a champagne color....
Then I mixed some modern masters metallic golds to
come up with a perfect color
of gold to detail it....
Stripped some of the hardware then added some gold
in areas.....
Then, I aged it......
It came out perfect! Matches well with her nightstands!
