Aged Red Kitchen Table....

New client found me on my blog.  Contacted me

from my blog as most do, she wanted a quote on this 

antique table she found.

The table needed some gluing and stripping 

on the top because the current finish was

bubbling up.

Before below.

She decided on brick red from General Finishes Milk Paint.

Basically she wanted it in a aged red finish.

Below is it painted in just brick red no sealing yet.

.

Then started distressing.

Then glazed with van dyke brown and sealed 

in a satin water based sealer.

All done in a no brush stroke finish.

Here it is below in her kitchen.

She loved it!  Looks really beautiful!

Charcoal Gray Aged Dresser.....

I had this piece in my current as is unpainted

inventory for sale.  I pulled it and decided to custom 

paint it in my own color and design.  

Here is the before below. 

We filled in the top four knobs and added some extra 

holes on the bottom drawers.  Stripped it all down and filled 

in some veneer that had bubbled up.

I wanted to stain the drawers because of the beautiful 

wood  on drawers, but once stained it covered it all up.

So, I painted it using general finishes milk paint

in queenstown gray.  

Added some duncan phyfe handles.

Then aged it with some van dyke brown glaze.

Sealed the final coat in a satin finish.

Love the small removeable tray too!

I think it came out really nice :)
