French Provincial Armiore, Dresser, Nightstand Set.....



New client contacted us, picked these out of our inventory.
The french armiore, dresser, and nightstands set.
I didn't have the dresser or nightstands set listed 
yet.  She resides in Austin, Tx and couldn't
make it out to view what I didn't have listed.
I took some pictures of what she described to me that she 
was searching for.
She for sure wanted this armiore.
I had two and both have sold already.


Here is the nightstands.


Then the dresser.


We stripped everything down.










After I primed everything, she picked the color butter cream.
It's a restoration hardware paint. 



She wanted a distressed edges look with 
dark bronze hardware.










My smooth flat finish is really outstanding.





















She loved everything!  It looks amazing
doesn't it?

Butter Cream Dresser....


This particular one I painted in my own color & design.
I forgot to take a before but you can visualize it. 
We sanded it down not to complete bare wood except for
the top.  Then I primed and painted it.


We did have to repair some wood slides.


Painted in restoration hardware paint color
butter cream.



Distressed edges and painted hardware
in oil rubbed bronze.











Our beautiful smooth flat no brush stroke thin 
finish.







This was sold the next day after I listed it.  
She loved our work so much she had me do a mirror to match.
Last week she brought me a nightstand she wants me to 
paint to match the dresser.  Hopefully I can get to that soon.
We're extremely busy with lots of clients painted orders.
That's why I got backed up on my posts.  Listed I 
think 5 today.

Restoration Hardware French Twin Bed.....


One of our wonderful repeat clients from 2014 came 
back to us and picked this french provincial twin bed
out of our inventory.  She wanted it to match her previous pieces
she purchased from us and had us custom paint them in 
restoration hardware colors and designs.
They where all done at different times.  She is very patient 
and waits for the perfect pieces we get in that she likes.
Here is the before of the twin bed.



We stripped it down and she wanted us to remove all the spindles
to make it more modern and unisex for her little boy.







Next we primed it.


Then I painted it the color she wanted which was 
a restoration hardware paint.




Did the detail in a restoration hardware paint also.
I didn't have to be perfect on the detail either!  
The design is meant to look imperfect.





Distressed certain areas to show some wood and some primer.









Looks fantastic without the spindles!  
Here are all the pieces below we have furnished and custom painted 
for her.  All in the same style and all french.
We custom made the french chest it was actually a 
highboy.  We then made her the baby changing table and 
made it removeable with hinges.  You can
search my blog for that post under "Restoration Hardware".
