Light Gray French Dresser, Bookshelf, Armiore...

Another new client found us online

and was expecting.  She picked the french dresser 

and bookshelf from our inventory.  Then she 

found the armiore online and we

went to go pick it up for her.  

Here are the pieces before below.

Forgot to take a picture of the armiore before.

Here's one while we where stripping it.

She decided on a light gray.  

I suggested silver chain from Benjamin Moore.

It was a true light gray I thought.

She was still deciding on the hardware so 

she didn't want us to put it back on.

Looks beautiful!

Mint Teal Antique Dresser......

This antique dresser was not well kept at all.  We repaired 

the split wood pieces now secure and tight, the inside drawer bases had thinning 

damaged wood which we replaced with new wood.  Made sure everything 

was nice and secure before I painted it.  As we do with all our furniture,

either for sale as is or painted.

Before pictures below.  

I custom mixed annie sloan chalk paint to a nice 

minty teal color.

Kept a lot of the dents and splits in wood 

as I usually always seal them in for a 

smooth look.  With this though it was 

old and I think it goes good with the look.

It shows its age, I didn't want to take that away.

Painted the hardware gold.

Distressed edges.

Wow....

currently available for sale.  Message if interested.

Medium Grey Large Nightstands....

New client who had been following me for some time

wanted us to custom paint these large

nightstands she had purchased off Craigslist.

She wanted the old hardware holes sealed in 

and painted in a medium grey.

Here is the before for both below. 

We stripped them and sealed in the older 

hardware holes.

I primed them both.

Then I painted them the medium grey she chose.

I used ben moore in dorian grey.

She loved them!

She'll be adding the hardware herself soon.

Destroyed French Dresser Made Beautiful Again....

We found this old antique french dresser at a resale

shop back in October of 2016.  I loved the look of it

and knew once we got our hands on it the beauty would show,

So, we worked on our custom clients orders and John

repaired it here and there on the side.  

Here are some photos below of all the damage.

It was missing a middle handle and knob.  I had the 

exact ones in my inventory.

One of the middle feet was clipped off and missing.

Missing slides on drawers.

Veneer missing and pulling off throughout the whole piece.

That is solid wood decor on the drawers not plastic.

Middle cabinet door was damaged.

We repaired all the missing veneer & drawer slides, made another foot,

stripped it all down.  Then I primed it.

Shaped all the repair nice and smooth with no pit holes.

The dresser had factory paint and another

 layer of some oil base paint over it.

Added a new wood back.

Then after priming it, I painted it all white from

Benjamin Moore. 

Slight distress on edges.  Left some dents in to go 

with the look of the older piece.

Painted hardware in a soft iron color.

This is the foot we repaired.  Remember it

was completely clipped off and missing.

Paint applied in our smooth flat finish. 

Painted the hinges and fencing in the 

soft iron color also.

Cabinet door all repaired.

Deep bottom drawers.

It looks so beautiful!  Currently available for purchase.

French Provincial Light Grey Dresser.....

One of our repeat clients wanted us to paint her french 

provincial dresser in a light grey. It needed minor repair 

like dents, chipped veneer, and a new wood back.

She wanted the hardware kept original just cleaned up some,

but to keep the patina look.

We stripped most of it down and sanded the rest down.

I primed and painted in a smooth clean finish.

The primer I matched to almost the same color

as the paint.

She wanted no distress.

Smooth clean finish.

She was really happy with the outcome,  I love this look!
