Another new client contacted me thru my fb page.
She wanted us to paint her furniture that was given
to her by her aunt. She said she wanted
it for her little girls room instead of buying new furniture.
The color she wanted was all white no distress.
It was a dresser, vanity top with mirror, nightstand,
and a bed. Lots of spindles mixed in the whole set except the dresser.
Here is the before of the dresser, vanity, mirror,
and nightstand.
We stripped them down and sanded the rest down.

She also wanted the knobs painted white but
not the brass parts.
Painted them all white with Benjamin Moore paint.
Our drop dead smooth finish.
My pictures speak for themselves.
Painted the knobs after we stripped those.
Painted with Benjamin Moore paint also.
Lots of hard work to get our finish to look like
it does.
We removed the mirror to paint back and front of
the mirror frame. It's more work but looks professionally done.
