Teal Aged Antique End Table...
One of our awesome repeat clients wanted us
to custom paint this family heirloom end table they had.
Here is the before below.
We refinished the top in a mixture of stain colors,
then added a semi gloss sealer.
Did the same to the small top of the middle part.
Painted the rest in annie sloan provence
and aged it.
Did a very light distress, I mean very light.
Beautiful!
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!
French Provincial Dresser Updated....
One of our previous clients contacted us for a few dressers
we had in our inventory. For this particular french provincial
dresser she picked, she wanted a soft teal green.
Here is the before below....
We stripped it all down....
sealed in the handle holes and added one single
hole in the middle of the drawers...
she also wanted glass knobs instead of the original hardware.
Primed it all.....
This is it completed and all painted in the
teal color she picked from Benjamin Moore.
These are the glass knobs we both decided on....
All freshly painted and updated with a new look.
Smooth clean look with no distress or glazing.
Gorgeous!
Custom Painted Pieces for Interior Designer..........
As most of you know, I sell my furniture pieces
unfinished or we can custom paint them for you.
Our unfinished pieces are most of the time a blank
canvas. Which means you can paint them however you
want if you buy unfinished.
So, an interior designer named Stephanie Ruckert
contacted me for one of my unfinished pieces.
She wanted us to deliver it unfinished.
Then, she viewed my blog and called back
for us to custom paint 6 of her pieces.
She told us she had just purchased a house in The Woodlands, TX.
What she is doing is remodeling the whole house
to show different styles of decorating houses.
Basically, her home will be a display of her interior designs.
She mixes industrial and vintage together.
It is so awesome looking!
She calls herself "Free Spirit Finds"
Here is the antique buffet she wanted it repaired as shown
we are doing.....
then she picked out a teal color...
wanted us to age it where it
would naturally age,,,,
we sanded it completely down after repairing it...
sealed the wood and painted it all teal except the hardware....
then added a satin finish.....
Wow! Looks beautiful!
Next, was a dresser that had a thick yellow finish on it...
this was the only before picture I could get as
John started on it before I
could get a picture...
The hardware was a heavy black....
we stripped the whole thing even the hardware....
primed it all....
then painted it gray...
added the high gloss...
also primed the hardware....
painted the hardware gold with a high gloss...
Love this lock!
This one came out fantastic!!!
Then, she had this old radio/record player
from when she was small...
wanted us to paint it yellow with a high gloss....
we sanded it all down, primed it....
then painted it yellow...
then added the high gloss which you really
can't tell as the sun wasn't out...
Done and awesome!!!
I still have 3 other pieces I'm working on,
once completed I will post them.
Custom Order For New Buyer Amy
These where the before pictures, we had the mirror replaced, repaired the drawer inside to make it more sturdy. Sanded it down......
sanded this one down....
She wanted it painted like one of my previous ones. She did want the handles painted teal, but they looked so good once we polished them up.
Then we decided on painting the headboard teal to bring out the teal on the dresser..........
And here they both are!
Looks super cute!!
1950's Dresser given a modern look....
This was a custom order, she wanted it to look like one of my previous dresser I painted.....
so we stripped this down, the lacquer on this was so thick. It took alot of sanding to get it off. Then I primed it and....
Done, this is the after.....
teal outer shell, grey drawers, and pink handles......
This is super cute, just right for a little girl:)
Teal and Purple Dresser
This was before.......I had numerous ideas for this one! We actually got this with no legs, my husband had some and attached them and it looks real nice. So we sanded, took off the back wood panels behind the spindles. Then primed it and....
I painted it a mixed teal color,
Painted the handles purple....
then painted the inside top drawers purple also to bring out the handles.
Now, this looks real cute!
Two Solid Wood 1960's Pantry Cabinet Shelves
These where just all wood colored when I found them. I always see painted ones that are all painted. I couldn't do that to these. I wanted to show some of the wood as it was just to pretty to cover up.
So I painted this one teal green in some areas. Then painted the grooved areas and handles grey. Added some small fencing wire to the back top cabinets and painted those grey also.
This one has 3 drawers as shown....
This one I painted white in some areas. Then painted the grooved areas and handles black.
Now, they look fabulous! Just alittle touch of color was all they needed....
Repurposed Drawers made into Shelf
Made into a shelf stand from dresser drawers we had laying around. Stained the shelf and painted the front drawers bright teal green and then added some light brown wax. Super cool! I was thinking could be used in kitchen for veggies, fruits, or a side pantry. For restroom to hold towels, etc.
Teal Green Dresser & Table Drawer
I should have taken a picture of this one, but forgot! Anyways, the top drawer was off of the front so we had to repair that. Then sanded it down and painted it teal green color I made. Painted the handles gold.
To match the handles I decided to paint the sides gold also.
Did the same to this one sanded down then painted a teal green color I made and painted handles gold.
Also painted the sides gold to match! Love them so:)
Brutalist Teal Brown Dresser By Lane
Found this beauty and was like so in love with it! Found out it was made by a designer that did some work for Lane Furniture in the 1960's or 70's. I can't seem to find if it was designed by Paul Evans or Arron Donner though. I fixed it up repaired the drawers and nicks. Sanded down the outer shell, stained it, then painted it brown, then stained it again. Then waxed it.
Then I painted the drawers teal and distressed abit, then dark waxed them. I think it came out just Outrageous! Truly truly truly outrageous!
Rustic Table and Chairs
I have been working on this one off and on. I mixed all kinds of teals and blues to get this color for the table bottom. Then I lightly sanded the top and waxed it. Then i collected these chairs till I have a complete set and painted them a cream color and lightly distressed them a bit. Now I put them outside on my patio! Looks super cute:)
Green Teal Broyhill
Finished this Broyhill Dresser. Handles where all tarnished and terrible, so crackled them with black and white. Fixed the drawers they where broken slides and sanded top it was sticky with something. Then painted two coats with a green teal color and painted the top black to bring the handles out. Then dark waxed it to give it a shabby chic look. I think it came out looking pretty awesome!
Just finished...
