Vintage Maple Dresser in Gray...
Painted this in a custom mix of old ochre and graphite
with annie sloan chalk paint on the body.
Here is the before below. I changed out the hardware.
It was missing a few pulls and couldn't find them online.
I added new modern black knobs.
Stripped the top and stained it in flagstone which is a
natural color with a tad bit of beige and gray in it.
Then sealed the top in high performance flat top coat.
Sealed the body in wax and kept the finish in a
clean no distressed look.
Available!

Plank Top Buffet in Old Ochre...
One of my wonderful customers contacted me a few months ago.
Her mother wanted to sell me some of her mothers furniture.
So my customers grandparents furniture.
We worked out a deal and loaded it all up.
This had a hutch that went on top.
Thinking of doing the hutch into a cabinet with some feet.
Anyway, here was the buffet part. I actually had it up for
sale as is, just to give it a chance before I tackled it.
It was 28" high below. So kinda short.
I added some feet to the front and back.
Then added some wood planks to the top.
Stained those in a custom stain mix.
Sealed in a flat poly.
I painted the body in
Annie Sloan Old Ochre.
Distressed edges.
Added new updated knobs.
But kept the original top handles.
Left the inside original.
Shelves are adjustable.
Love how everything came out!!
Ahhhh!! I love it!!
SOLD!

Before/After.
Drexel Heritage Basque French Revamped!
Well I had painted it before like this
and put it up for sale.
Then I had painted some end tables in
annie sloan's old ochre.
I really like the color, sooo
I painted the from drawers that color.
Left the white I had painted previously
on the shell.
Here was the way I painted it before.
I had did a unique wood finish on the drawers....
Here is how it turned out after I painted the drawers old ochre.
I did my flat finish on the chalk paint...
I don't like how thick the chalk paint is
out of the can.
The flat finish I did on the chalk paint worked
it's really smooth and flat!
Made by Drexel Heritage.
We had made a wood cover for the top
middle drawer.
I did my aged finish on the handles...
I just love this look on ornate hardware...
I think I did excellent on aging them!
Looks beautiful both ways, but I like this way better :)
Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......
This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile.
It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.
We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....
but I pulled it off and painted it.
Here they are before. UGLY!
Do not like those 4 set handles either.
It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)
Made by Lane...
I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...
I used Old Ochre.
I get some customers who ask if
I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.
I primed all of it except the tops...
Then I hand painted it all....
distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..
darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...
Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...
.
I waxed everything else...
Chalk paint is super thick!
I don't like that. So I did my flat finish.
I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,
I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...
Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.
I did a aged look on the handles...
LOVE My handles I did!!!
Here they are completed!
Way better than before!
