Creamy Aged Dresser.....


We had this beautiful triple drawer dresser made by Bassett
for some time in our inventory.  
I had it up as is or can be custom painted.
So, I decided to paint it in my own color design.
Here is the before below.


I painted it in a custom mix color I created out of 
annie sloan chalk paint.  
Our smooth flat finish pictured below.
No brush marks.


Added new hardware to the middle cabinet doors
from our hardware inventory.




Distressed the edges.






Kept the original hardware on the drawers it was 
just to pretty.










Refinished the inside drawers in a driftwood color.





Then sealed everything in a satin finish. 


I love how it came out 💗💗💗
Currently available for sale.

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!!!!!

Custom Painted French Kent Coffey in a Teal Green with Gold Detail........

This was a custom order for a new customer.  She found
 this french kent coffey and asked 
me to paint it in a teal green with gold detail 
where the gold detail already was.  Basically paint the cream a teal green and 
redo the gold but, keep
the hardware the same.



So we stripped it completely to the bare wood like we do mostly all 
our pieces....





Then primed it....











Then painted it the teal green....


painted the gold detail...

















Looks so beautiful !  I thought the gold was going to be
 too much with the teal but,
she wanted it with some glam.  
It looks awesome not too much gold at all !
Just enough :)

French Provincial Highboy & French Triple Dresser Painted Revere Pewter........


This was a custom order for another of our new buyers.  We furnished and custom painted these for her.  She wanted them to match but have different color handles and have the tops a wood finish.  The highboy was for her son and the triple was for her daughter.

Here is the french highboy.  It has a glass top which was never removed so we didn't have to touch that part.
The bottom right foot was clipped off so John repaired that part.  
He did a fantastic job on that!



Here is the triple dresser with a high gloss on it and missing handles so we 
sealed the left and right side drawers up
and added some new holes to fit the
french handles we had.

She wanted high gloss black for the highboy handles...


The top was just shined up to cover any knicks....


We sanded and primed it...



Painted it with numerous coats of revere pewter....


We refinished the top of the triple one......
stained it and added some poly to it......


Stripped this one down, primed it....


She wanted these handles and knobs silver....



Then we painted this one with numerous coats
of revere pewter also...



Here they are both finished!
BEAUTIFUL!
