Mid Century Modern Painted....


Had this dresser for some time now.  I'd say a few years?
It wasn't taken care of, I knew it would have to be painted.
Those top stains were horrible.
So, we stripped it down.


Stains didn't go away.  I knew they wouldn't.




Repaired some chips and loose veneer.


Primed.




I decided to paint it in black bamboo.



Then I added new champagne gold modern knobs.





Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.


Stained the bottom legs in dark walnut.




SOLD!

Dresser, Desk, and Chair Refinished In Espresso...


Our past clients who is amazing like all 
our past clients are, especially when they keep
coming back to us!
Anyways, she wanted her desk, chair, and dresser
refinished in a dark stain to match 
her bookshelf she had. 
Here are the before pictures below.




Stripped them all.  
We seen they where all pressed
board except the chair of course.
But they all had a thin veneer overlay.  
So John sanded them down just enough to 
not get to the pressed board.
They then where able to be stained!
She was very happy for that as I told her to make a plan b 
just in case we couldn't stain them.
Here are the after pictures below.


I stained them all in espresso and sealed them 
all in a flat finish.





Painted the knobs in dark bronze.







They all came out so beautiful!!!

Old Table Drawer Shelf..


John got this at a garage sale it was badly damaged.
Before below.


One of our family members wanted something 
they could use as a coffee bar.  They asked if we had 
anything.  I sent them this picture above.  Said it would
be perfect for that!  




This was one of those pieces he worked on 
the side while waiting for other custom work
to dry from repair work.
He added a new back splash.
Took off all the damaged veneer from the top.


Repaired the broken leg.


Added a new support for the bottom middle
as it was missing when we got it.


After below.
I stained it in a custom mix stain.
Had to even out the look too as some stained lighter
then other parts.
That is very difficult, sometimes it can be unachievable on my end.
But I try every time, down fall of being a perfectionist...
I'm working on that though!






Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.










Looks beautiful!  It's amazing how many pieces we save.
Perfect coffee bar!
