Italian Provincial Dresser Updated...
Had this in my inventory for sale as is
for about 7 months. It didn't sell so I pulled
it and did my own design on it.
I love doing my own designs. Less stressful than
customer orders. I can take my time and there is no rush.
Here is the before above.
Hardware was outdated.
I picked behr black bamboo for the color.
It's a beautiful soft medium green with less yellow in it.
More gray in it I think. I love it!
I purchased new modern hardware in polished gold.
Took those single drop pulls off the middle
cabinet drawers too.
I added handles which I think looks much better.
Sealed in a sprayed flat finish.

Antique Dresser in Mint Gray...
Client initially wanted my salmon pink french dresser
I had up a few months ago. But was undecided on color.
This is a birthday present for her little girl!
So she wanted a color that wasn't too overpowering
to match her curtains in the room.
Which had more pink in them.
Here is the before below.
She picked this from my inventory.
It needed work as you can see which is why it
I didn't have it listed..
So it took us a few weeks to repair.
She decided on Ellie's Room by Magnolia!
Distressed edges.
Her daughter wanted some new knobs which look adorable!
Looks amazing!

Updated Vintage Dresser to Modern Style...
New client inherited her late grandmothers dresser
and wanted it updated for her new little bundle of joy.
She will be due very soon and put this order in 3 months ago.
I was booked like we usually are and she waited patiently.
Here is the before below.
She purchased new hardware and wanted the middle
cabinet door off.
She wanted the top stained to match her crib frame
and the body painted a clean no distress white.
We used Benjamin Moore Ultra White.
Amazing what a professional paint job
and some redesigning can do.
She also wanted the old hinge holes sealed in which we did.
Stained top and sealed in a semi gloss water
based sealer.
Everything done in a no brush stroke finish
as always.
Our finish is smooth to the touch and applied
properly.
Here is the handles she picked. We only had one at the time.
Looks amazing!
Here it is in her nursery after we delivered it.
She was "over the moon obsessed with it".
Her words 😍
