Stripped Raw Wood French Provincial Dresser....
I’m really into this raw wood finish.
Had this old antique french dresser for
some time in my for sale as is inventory.
Before below.
First, I was going to paint it. Then I thought about it..
and decided I can paint tons of pieces.
Only certain pieces look good in the raw look.
So we stripped it all down, every nook and cranny.
Look at all those patterns.
Painted the beautiful french handles
in a matte black.
Sealed everything in a matte sprayed sealer.
Available, message if interested.

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!!!
Raw Natural Look French Dresser....
This is the before below on a french dresser made by Davis Furniture Co.
I was initially going to paint it but because we strip
most of our pieces before we paint them.
But once it was stripped and sanded down I just couldn't paint
it. The wood was to beautiful. It wasn't a veneer overlay
either. This was solid carved wood. I did replace that hideous hardware though.
Stripped and sealed in the old handle holes.
I didn't stain it, just sealed it with a water based sealer.
Painted the hardware iron steel which is a matte
slightly dark gray with some metallic in it.
This piece was sold a few days ago.
. I finished it at the beginning of
last month, but didn't have time to post on my blog.

Distressed Grey Pedestal Table...
One of many of our repeat clients came back to us with
this pedestal table she had. She loved the grey media dresser

for her a few years ago so much. She wanted me to paint
this table the same color and look as that dresser.

One of our regular repeat clients wanted us to paint
this curio cabinet and farmhouse chest all white with
no distress. She wanted all the texture to stay the
same if possible. It was painted in provence chalk paint at one time.
Then with a crackle look.
We sanded it down and teal was everywhere...
the texture came off in most areas.
I primed them all white. Then painted them all white.
We added some rustic hinges to the chest, it made the door
more sturdy.
Took all hardware off and stripped that and painted them all.

She wanted to see no more blue.
Couldn't get the blue off of some of the rubber though, we tried.

When clients view my blog and close up
pictures of our finish they always fall in love. She was undecided on what
color, as this was for her small daughter's room.
