Shabby chic pink & teal furniture...

A client came to us 3 years ago with some furniture

she didn't want and gave it to us.  

She contacted us in June and wanted us 

to custom paint some pieces for her grand daughters 

room.  I discounted her on the custom 

painting from the furniture she gave us all those years ago.

Above is a old armoire with shelves in it 

and a drawer on bottom. 

This needed repair so we did that.

 She wanted me to design 

all the pieces with my own color scheme.

Being that her grand daughter loved pink,

I went with colors that are bright and fun.

I did a custom pink from annie sloan chalk paint

and a custom teal from the same line of chalk paint.

Painted the hardware 2 different shade of gold.

Distressed all the edges to show some teal.

I went with a shabby chic aged pink and teal look.

Next, was the bookshelf.  

This needed repair also.  Which we did.

I stained the whole shelf and sealed it.

Painted the hardware 2 shade of gold.

Painted it the same custom colors from the armoire.

Last, was this iron gate door she had.

She wanted us to make it into a twin 

headboard,  We cut off the hinges on the side.

I sealed it and custom painted it the teal

from above.  Then added some gold to the edge tips

We have quite a few of those banister posts, so 

we added some to the ends.

All finished and looking adorable!

Pink & Cream Girls Dresser....

I had this one for awhile in my inventory,

so I decided to paint it.

The style looked more feminine, so 

I picked some colors 

that I thought would bring that out.

Here is the before...

I chose cream primer.....

then a I customized the pink color...

painted the inner drawers,

smooth flat finish...

distressed the edges to bring

 out the cream primer...

painted the handles cream also...

Looks so cute and girly!

Refinished Antique Vanity Painted Pink.....

This vanity was painted in some lacquer paint...

So here it is before, a reddish brown..

so we stripped it down...

added a wheel as one was missing....

stripped the drawers and the mirror 

frame (not pictured)

I primed and then painted it the pink he 

picked....

I also replaced the knobs for 

some better ones...

he liked it :)

we also replaced the mirror as the other

was to heavy for the wood frame....

So pretty :)

Antique Desk/Vanity Painted Black With Glitter Drawers.....

This was furnished and custom painted for one of our customers.

She wanted it black with glitter drawers,

black handles, and pink above the drawers.

So we repaired the veneer, sanded it all down, and

I primed it all.

Then I painted the shell all black....

painted the handles black...

Painted the pink where she wanted it....

Painted the drawers with a silver glitter....

Here it is all done!

I love it so much!

Grey French Provincial Dresser with Pink Handles

This was a before picture I was sanding it down getting ready to prime it.  My Buddy was looking at me sitting on his bench, yes HIS bench :)  My husband repaired 2 of the dovetail drawers they where missing the back pieces.  

I decided to paint it grey for the shell and I sanded the drawers down but left some cream paint on them, then stained and waxed the drawers.  Then painted the handles pink.

I used some light brown wax to bring out the wood and darken it abit.......

I love the way it came out!

1950's Dresser given a modern look....

This was a custom order, she wanted it to look like one of my previous dresser I painted.....

so we stripped this down, the lacquer on this was so thick.  It took alot of sanding to get it off.   Then I primed it and....

Done, this is the after.....

teal outer shell, grey drawers, and pink handles......

This is super cute, just right for a little girl:)

Hot Pink Dresser with Shelf

This was a custom order for one of my new buyers.  She wanted my hot pink color I have used before with silver handles.  This one was missing a drawer, so we added a shelf.

Sealed up the nicks and dents on the sides.....

sanded and primed it.....added the shelf....

Here it is finished!!!

It is gorgeous!!

Midnight Blue Hot Pink Dresser

This was before it has a missing back and missing drawers on bottom of two, I was trying to sell it as is because I had to many other projects to do, but no one wanted to take on the job....so I did :)

And here is after sanding and repairing I put a thick piece of wood on back, painted it midnight blue then drawers hot pink ...

stained the top and protected it with light brown wax.....

and painted the handles grey...

I just think it came out really cute!
