French Linen Desk/Dresser....

Referral client had this really beautiful desk/dresser

piece.  She picked french linen from annie sloan.

Here is the before below.

Took it all apart to get a good clean finish.

I antiqued and distressed it.

I also added some new knobs to update it.

Painted the side drawers also.

Painted everything on the inside.

She really liked how it came out and it 

went really well in her home.

Bedroom Set Updated In Layered Look....

Client was referred to us by someone who seen our

work online.  These where clients own pieces.

The possibilities are endless in how your

furniture can be updated.  For the past 4 years most of 

our client custom painted orders

have been their own pieces that they've had

for years.  

Here are the before pictures below.

She wanted a layered look.

I used Annie Sloan chalk paint for this look.

They came out absolutely amazing!

So beautiful!  We also freshen up her antique 

iron bed in an all white.  I'll be adding those pictures once I 

get a good picture tomorrow before we deliver.

French Linen Dresser & Armiore...

New client contacted me on Facebook last 

June 2017.  She followed me for awhile

after that waiting for the right pieces I had

coming in.  As I get inventory in often.

Sometimes I have time to list and sometimes I don't.

I got this french set in made by Link Taylor

It was a dresser, chest, and nightstand set.

The nightstand set sold as is, and I still have the chest.

She wanted only the dresser. (that picture is far below scroll down)

Then I  got these french armories in made by 

white fine furniture.  She immediately

contacted me and said she wanted one.

She resides in Belton, Tx and asked if we could deliver there.

I said of course, I have clients in Austin

and it would be $125 to deliver to her area.

Here it is below. 

She had first wanted a off white in 

sherwin williams alabastera, then sage color,

then black, and finally she decided on 

annie sloan french linen.  Which I told her was 

a very beautiful color.

One of my clients had picked that color

in December for some side dressers, then

I painted a dresser in it to put up for sale

 (that has been sold already).

Here they are painted and sealed in a 

flat finish.  

She wanted to keep the fabric & hardware original.

Excellent choice.

She wanted minimal distressing.

I chose to paint the inside drawers and 

side cabinets next to the middle drawers.

You would see the original wood if 

I didn't and I knew that wouldn't look right.

I asked first and she said whatever I thought 

was best.  I'm glad i did.

Here's the before on the link taylor dresser.

She loved them so much and was so excited!

Here they are in her home after we delivered them to her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!

French Linen Mediterranean Dresser....

Couldn't wait to get my hands on this one.

Loved the detail on it, but since there was 

so much detail I went with a clean look.

I used a soft neutral color also.

Here is the before below.

I decided on french linen from annie sloan 

chalk paint.  I used it on a clients order 

(post right before this one).

Feel in love with the color.

It's a soft gray color....

I think it's a true gray with no blue undertones.

Maybe some brown but I'd rather 

take brown than blue undertones.

Especially for this dresser.

I didn't antique or distress it, I didn't think it

would mesh well with the details already on it.

Left hardware original.

I'm in love...but when am I not!

All in a no brush stroke finish.

Very smooth and sealed in a flat water based sealer.

AVAILABLE FOR SALE!

Message if interested. 

French Linen Half Dressers Set.....

Second half of the order for one of our clients.  The other part was the

italian provincial set in previous post.

This is she will be using as nightstands.

The one below she picked from our inventory.

The second on was hers.

Before pictures below.

They both needed major veneer repair as 

they're old like really old.

Inside where the drawers sat needed to be 

rebuilt on some so the drawers could go in 

and out easier.

We repaired everything cosmetic and structural.

Stripped down everything.

She sent me this pictured she found online and wanted me to 

do them both in this look.

I used annie sloan french linen and went to work on the

details.

Antiqued and gold detailed in some areas.

Painted the hardware also.

Distressed areas.

My no brush stroke finish of course.

Love showing my close ups with the light shining on it.

We're both in love with them!
