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!

Shabby Chic Bedroom Set...

This was a referral order from one of our

previous clients, who in fact was another referral!

Awesome huh?  So glad clients appreciate our hard work.  

We are custom furniture painters who actually put

in a whole lot of work to get our look and durability.

I mean a lot of work, It takes us days sometimes to perfect our look.

My husband and I are somewhat of perfectionists.

Stripping, repairing, filling in (scratches, dents, holes),

sanding, priming, painting.

So many steps, plus we live in houston, tx 

so it can get extremely hot.  

We don't think our clients even notice most of the work 

we do to get our look. Then, we get referrals or they

contact us months or years later and want us to do more pieces!

Just because they loved our work before so much!

Plus, we don't just say it, we show it here 

on our blog what we do.  

Ok, enough of all that let's get to these pieces we did.

Our client wanted these in annie sloan chalk paint.

She wanted a shabby chic look with age.

Now, with the chalk paint we don't strip of course.

Here is the hope chest before below.

I spray my chalk paint so there is no brush strokes.

This hope chest was done in old antique white

and aged. 

I also aged the hardware as they where silver.

I wanted it to match the lock.

Next, was 2 twin beds.  She wanted it the same as the chest 

finish and color.

Aged and in old antique white.

Last, was the nightstand.  

This was in a duck egg blue and aged also.

Looks so beautiful!

Mid Century Furniture Shabby Chic White.......

Mid century modern dresser and nightstand was

picked form our inventory by new clients.

They were a referral from a previous client of ours.

  They wanted them with a light shabby chic white look.

Here is the before of the mcm dresser below.

Here it is below stripped down.

Below is a picture of it primed.

Then here come the pictures of it painted white 

and distressed for a slight shabby chic look.

They wanted the handles lept original.  

Love this look.

Next  is the mcm nightstand.

Below is the before.

Then stripped pictured below.

Next primed.

Then painted white and distressed lightly.

I aged this handle to match the 

dresser handles, because it was silver.

They both look awesome!
