Italian Mid Century......
Our repeat client that has been coming to us for years
wanted this beautiful baker italian mcm dresser we had.
Here is the before below.
We stripped it down.
John does a fantastic job stripping it down to the bare wood.
I primed it.
She designs her place so beautifully and wanted this
piece in a certain look.
She chose Dorian Grey from sherwin williams
that I color matched with benjamin moore.
Then she wanted it lighten by 70%.
Below is the color painted on it already.
Smooth flat finish.
We had to get new backplates for the hardware as one
was missing. We both loved the look of the hardware after.
I painted the hardware a beautiful gold she chose.
Beautiful!
French Provincial Chest & Bed Set.....
Another new client who seen our work and loved it!
She picked out this french chest of drawers
and french bed set form our inventory.
Then wanted us to custom paint it in a
latte color to coordinate with her guest room
color on the walls.
Here is the before below...
we had started to repair it with all the
dents and gouges so I didn't have it listed.
Here is the bed I also didn't have listed as I didn't have the time.
Sanded most of the drawers down and added
new holes for the replacement handles.
One handle was broken so I had to pull another
french set from my handle inventory.
Stripped the whole bed set...
Sanded and stripped most of the chest.
Repaired the chipped feet also.
Smooth top sanded...
Repaired all the deep scratches...
Then I primed it all white and painted it in the
latte color.
Smooth flat finish with no distress.
Hardware painted in oil rubbed bronze.
Sealed in the old holes for the old hardware
and you wouldn't even know it's so smooth.
Loved the new hardware we added.
Feet all repaired, we don't let a french
provincial leave us with a chipped off foot/feet.
Looks so beautiful!
Stormy Blue Duncan Phyfe Dresser.......
I had this beautiful duncan phyfe dresser for about
3 months in my inventory not listed as available.
I have quite a few like that in my inventory that are
not listed. Some need repair and some need stripping.
This particular one needed some repair.
After John repaired it I just went ahead and painted it
in my own color design.
I went for a stormy blue color with some gray tints
in it. I custom made this color from annie sloan
chalk paint.
Aged it but didn't distress it. I didn't think the look
I was going for would look good distressed.
My smooth flat finish.
I also painted and aged the hardware.
Loving this piece.
White MCM Dresser.......
Found this beautiful mid century dresser. It had cabinet
knobs on it when we found it. I took them off and
sanded it down.
Primed it and painted it all white with Benjamin Moore
paint. I went with a smooth
flat clean look in all crisp white.
Added these beautiful handles with a rope pull.
Very deep drawers.
I also added these knobs to go with the square straightness
of the dresser,
Our smooth sprayed finish.
Look at all those deep spacious drawers!
I love how this came out.
Restored Antique Nightstands Set......
Another repeat client came to us and picked
these antique nightstands from our inventory.
She wanted them for her guest room.
She wanted a stained dark brown with black in it.
Here is the before pictures below.
This is after we sanded/stripped them down....
we sand to a smooth finish with no sanding swirls.....
we go thru numerous steps to get it to look
and feel smooth....
I custom mixed some stains and then started
the staining process.....
I removed the wood knobs and added these
knobs we had in our workshop...
stripped them, painted them, and sealed them...
Last, I added the poly to protect it....
They look so beautiful, I'm in love with these!!!!!
Desks painted white.......
One of our previous clients loved our work so
much, she put in a 3rd order for us to custom paint!
These are her kids desks, She wanted them painted
white and one of them white with stained top.
Here is the before for one of the desk....
she wanted the handles off so she can add new ones.
sanded all down...
the slide out boards we had to remove to paint...
I primed it all then custom painted it a certain
color of white she picked out.
That's the awesome thing with latex,
you have a variety of colors to choose from.
You just have to prep it correctly before you lay the latex down.
Looks so clean and pretty!
Next, as this one below. She wanted this white and a
stained top.
here is the before...
sanded all down even the top....
primed it all except the top of course and then
painted it the same color of white from the desk above.
stained the top and added a polycrylic for protection...
So pretty!
Refinished Ivory Painted Dresser & Mirror...
One of our previous clients wanted us to
custom paint this dresser plus some other items.
They will be in the next few posts. She had a total of 4 items
she wanted us to refinish for her.
This post is for a dresser she will be putting
in her baby's nursery.
Here is the before....
we stripped it all down, she wanted a refinished
top and mirror in a chocolate stain.
Then the bottom in a custom ivory that matched
the baby crib....
here it is primed...
then I painted it the ivory color.....
she wanted the hardware kept original...
next I stained the top...
she didn't want any distressing...
added a poly to seal the top...
stained the mirror and sealed that with a poly....
She loved it!!!!
Dresser Set Painted with Farrow & Ball.......
A new client contacted us for a dresser set she wanted custom
painted in a special paint with a specific color.
This could not be matched 100% to any other paint.
Which is why she wanted this particular brand.
With this paint, it's very tricky. You can only use their
primer, so I couldn't use my usual primer with
this particular paint.
Here is the before, forgot to take the picture of
the mirror.
Had a lot of ridges.....very rough. We sanded it all down though.
This is the paint.
Primed it and then painted it all. She wanted the color
Mahogany, which is a brown color with a slight red tint.
Next, added a polycrylic finish to it.
She wanted the handles in a brushed nickel.
So we stripped the hardware and custom
painted them.
Here is the mirror we did also.
She loved it! Very satisfied client.
Beautiful!
Antique Chest Of Drawers Soft Coral
We have had this antique chest
of drawers for awhile now.
I pulled it off of my as is for sale list
and decided to custom paint
it my own way...
here is the before below...
We had repaired most of it before we
put it up for as is sale, so
we sanded all down and filled in
the carved design on the 4th drawer...
I primed it all and painted it a soft coral
by Ben Moore...
stained the middle drawers a mixture of stain colors...
sealed them with poly using my hvlp sprayer....
found some handles I had and sprayed them gold....
I also had these backplates and added them with some knobs
painted them gold....
stained the top with a mixture of stain colors
and then added poly with hvlp sprayer...
also added a wood applique I had and painted that gold....
just to bring out the chest as it was so plain...
Then added some wood wheels we had to give the old antique
look back...
solid wood old back.....very nice and sturdy...
I think it looks way better now. With all I added, plus the colors, much better!
Mid Century Modern Gray Dresser
We got this mcm dresser in, it was way to damaged
to put up as is. So, we tackled it on right away.
Here is the before....
we stripped it down, repaired all the missing veneer
added legs, then I primed it, and
custom painted it gray.....
polished the brass knobs...
and handles...
and the brass tips of the legs....
our smooth flat finish....
this is why I love latex paint, as long as
you know how to prep it and lay it down,
then add a good protective sealer,
it comes out awesome!
Plus latex has such a variety of colors.....
and durable....
Beautiful and sleek!
Our finish is very durable with normal everyday use.
I've had repeat clients from 3 years ago
say the furniture we custom painted for them looks
as if we just finished it.
Benjamin Moore latex paint is our #1 paint we use.
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!
Custom Painted White Nightstands Set Made Higher.....
We had this nightstands set up for sale as is
for awhile. I had a idea in my head for these.
I pulled off the knobs as it was
missing one, John sealed up the holes.
Added puddy to the damaged areas....
glued loose veneer...
Replaced damaged slides....
.
Primed and painted it all white.....
Color is Ben Moore Out of Can White......
I have lots of different legs, I picked these though
I think they go better with the style...
Added thick wood planks to the back of the
nightstands....
Found the perfect knobs to bring out the beauty
in these nightstands....
They look so much better now!
Elegant Clean Look for Soft Gray Dresser.......
I had this triple drawer dresser in my
inventory for some time about a year.
Pulled it out and went to work on it.
Here is the before...I removed the big handles
and the backplate/knob on the middle cabinet door
Stripped it down to bare wood, nice smooth sanding job
sealed in all the holes from the handles and nail holes
primed it and painted it a soft gray by Ben Moore
called nightingale
went on a search for the perfect knobs....
antiqued the backplates decor on the top drawers
and cabinet drawer hinges
Looks way better then the before.
An elegant clean look.
French Chest Converted to Dress Up Armoire........
One of our awesome repeat clients, texted me
a picture of a chest converted into a dress up armoire.
I told her I've done one like that before like
3 years ago and showed it to her. (You can view it in
one of my previous post from the year 2013.)
She said we where awesome and asked if we had
any chests in our inventory.
So I showed her 3 I had and she picked this one.
She wanted it Simply White by Ben Moore with
silver handles. Then a wood closet rod to match it.
This is it in one whole picture....
Here is the before...
the feet where chipped off and missing...
John got to work on the building process...
added a wood back since the other was
that thick cardboard...
stripped it all down....
added wood sides and bottom....
repaired the feet and reshaped them...
John does such an awesome job....
can't even tell it was chipped off....
stone hard structure now will not chip off like the wood did....
I primed it then painted it all white....
primed and painted the wood rod and wood holders....
John installed it with the right measurements
so the hangers can be removed without
a problem...
stripped, primed, painted, and sealed the hardware....
our smooth flat thin finish....
It is so super cute! Her little girl is going to love it!
Thank you Brooke for thinking of us!
Broyhill Dresser Custom Painted White....
This Broyhill triple dresser was picked from
our inventory by a client.
She wanted it painted all white with polished hardware.
She also wanted it a clean look with no distress.
This was the before.....
after we stripped it down....
we take off all hardware and
cabinet doors for a better finish....
I primed it and then painted it
the color she chose.....
it was a Sherwin Williams color
that I matched to Benjamin Moore paint....
very clean look....
smooth finish....no brush strokes....
like I said we take EVERY piece
of hardware off.....
smooth top....
I paint everywhere you can see....
I tried to take a picture of the sun shining
on the dresser so you can
see the smooth flat finish we always do...
the only time we don't do a flat smooth finish
is when the client wants a shabby aged look
with layered colors.....
Fully completed.
She was very impressed as all my clients are.
The before, during, and after process.
French Provincial Dixie Dresser.......
This french provincial Dixie dresser was
a furnished and custom painted order.
A previous client of ours from last year
referred us to her family. So her sister in law
contacted me via facebook and picked this dresser
from our inventory and wanted it all white
with handles kept in original condition.
Here is the before.
We sanded it down to the bare wood.....
I primed and painted it all white.....
kept handles in original condition.....
Looks so beautiful!!!
