This was a furnished and custom order.
We had a new client who found us online 
and
picked this dresser from our inventory.
She wanted it painted coral with gold handles.
She was in love with that combo.
So here it was before....


As you can see in the above pick , 
if not I took a close up.....
one of the drawers was chipped off....


so John started the repair process...
he takes his time so there is 
no crater holes...


sanded it down perfectly....
makes it really smooth...


even the top and back parts....


then sanded the whole thing...




then John repaired the side which was split apart form
the dresser...


reinforced the inside as this is an antique....


added another new support for the middle....


then sanded it down completely,



this had to be stripped the original finish was just too thick...
after that we primed it all even the handles....

I think he repairs it better than when they 1st built it!

Red and White Dining Table Set With Bench....


Well to start off, we had this table for 
along time.  It is a really awesome table.  I love the 
detailed legs and the pull out side leaves on each side.
This piece I actually did all on my own.
Absolutely no help from my partner/husband.
He is working on a huge custom order at the moment.
Anyways, I always see all his techniques in repairing and sanding .
So I used all of them on this one.
Here is was before,





I sanded it and stained it
with 3 different colors of stain.
Then added 3 coats of poly.


Stripped the bottom part of the table completely....
then primed and painted it white....


Sanded down the chairs and painted them red...
love how you can still see all the 
dark wood! 










Now the bench my husband/partner did put that together.
Some things I just don't want to do or even learn to do!

We had 2 Jenny Lind spindle twin bed whole
frame sets.  One was complete and the other was not,
plus it was missing some spindles.
This is how it looked just minus some spindles, slats,
and rails.



Here is the awesome bench he made!
I love it so much!!!


Sanded it down and painted it red also.
It has the same technique with the
 wood showing threw the red paint.


I just love this set!
