French Nightstands Custom Painted Butter Cream....

This was furnished and custom painted for our repeat customer. She wanted some

nightstands that where french. She seen I had some back in February of

this year and painted them for someone, loved them and wanted some.

So as I tell all who ask about if I have any pieces they are looking for,

I let them know that I will put them on a waiting list and

if I get any in I will contact that list 1st before I list them

out to the public :)

That's what she did.

So she wanted them stained on top to match a dresser she bought from me that

I painted last year. Painted a Butter Cream.

Then distressed only on edges and handles black.

This was before....a thick latex over factory paint...

we stripped....

then I primed and painted away....distressed...

she wanted a butter cream color....

stained the top 2 different colors.....

then added black wax....

to darken them...and protect them...

this is a thick wax that hardens FAST...

painted the handles black...

Finished! Oh my gosh, they look awesome!

LOVE them!!!!

Danity Navy Blue French Provincial Dresser with Custom Changing Topper.....

Well, to start off this was a tough one! I had a customer pick this

piece from my inventory and ask

me to paint it a certain color for her.

So I told her to pick one from benjamin moore

as that is the only paint I like to use.

So she chose blueberry hill which is

a danity not to dark navy blue color.

She also asked us to make her a changing topper,

as she seen one I had done before for another

customer.

Here is the before above....

we stripped it....

had white paint over factory paint...

built the changing topper to her size she wanted......

stripped the mirror....

then I stained it all....

she wanted it distressed on the edges only....

it was a white blonde wood, that's why I stained it

so when I did distressed it wouldn't look as white....

stained the changing topper also....

then painted it her color she wanted....

she wanted the handles to look old,

so we stripped them....

they turned out awesome!

distressed on edges....

I didn't prime this because of her color she chose,

if I did you would see the primer when I distressed....

since I stripped it though that paint is not

going anywhere!

here it is without the changing topper...

here it is with the changing topper....

And here it is with all of it,

dresser, mirror, and changing topper!

I LOVE IT!!!!!

French Provincial Dresser Repaired and Painted.......

This one we found just totally not well cared for. The person we got it from said he was repairing it, but gave up. Goodness, they painted it numerous times. When we stripped it, we found they painted over the original cream white factory paint, then painted silver over that, then blue, and then the last was black. The veneer over it was peeled off and they applied plaster sheetrock over it and sealed in the middle drawers. The top was coming apart from the rest of it. We where going to do this as a custom, but she wanted a clean look and this was for a shabby chic look so we painted it now it's up for sale. Good thing it was solid wood :)
