Nightstands Turned Into Record Player Stand....
A client wanted us to custom paint these in a
matte black for her salon.
Here is the before below.
7 layers of 3 different primers and 4 different
latex paints.
Inside drawers where spray painted.
Even the back was painted.
So we stripped them and it took a month.
We worked on them why doing other orders.
The stripper took a whole day to get thru the layers.
Some of the veneer had warped and chipped off.
Whoever painted it before painted right over all that.
Didn't even repair it so we had to repair that
once we stripped it. John was not happy.
So, client then messaged and said
what about making it into a vanity
again because that's what
they once where.
So we did.
Here it is painted in general finishes
lamp black.
Then sealed in a flat sealer.
Added a shelf to make the vanity.
Added new knobs.
Painted the inside drawers.
Then we delivered it and she said ..
this may work perfect under my kitchen bar.
She had speakers there with here record player
and sound system on the floor.
She just moved in her new home and was looking for a
record player stand.
John and her got to talking about ideas to add 2 more shelves
to the vanity.
So we came back 2 days later installed them
and here it is all completed!
She loved it! She was so happy!
It looks so cool 💖
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.
