Headboard, Mirror, Navy Blue, Gray Mantel....

This was a custom order. A client contacted me

from my blog and wanted us to paint

these pieces for her.

mantel, headboard, and mirror.

She wanted the mantel to be a color

on her comforter she just bought.

So I suggested a lighter gray.

That way it would go with her decor in case

she ever changed it.

Here is the mantel before we stripped it down.

Then primed and painted.

She wanted us to seal in all the staple holes

that where previously there.

Then she had us do this beautiful Mediterranean mirror!

She wanted this to match a new comforter

also she had just bought.

So I suggested a navy blue.

She loved that idea on color :)

We primed and painted this the navy blue....

We always take out the mirrors....

you don't want to be sloppy with mirrors

because you have to look at them so much :)

Here is the headboard....

Restoration Hardware Part 2....

This was for a repeat client who we had

furnished and painted a dresser for last year.

You can search my post for that one.

Just type restoration hardware in the search box.

Anyways, she had asked whenever I come across

a nightstand in the same style

to let her know. So, I got one in a year later.

Contacted her and she said she wanted it.

She asked for us to paint it exactly like the

dresser we had done for her.

Here is the before...

Drexel Heritage Basque French Revamped!

Well I had painted it before like this

and put it up for sale.

Then I had painted some end tables in

annie sloan's old ochre.

I really like the color, sooo

I painted the from drawers that color.

Left the white I had painted previously

on the shell.

Here was the way I painted it before.

I had did a unique wood finish on the drawers....

Here is how it turned out after I painted the drawers old ochre.

I did my flat finish on the chalk paint...

I don't like how thick the chalk paint is

out of the can.

The flat finish I did on the chalk paint worked

it's really smooth and flat!

Made by Drexel Heritage.

We had made a wood cover for the top

middle drawer.

I did my aged finish on the handles...

I just love this look on ornate hardware...

I think I did excellent on aging them!

Looks beautiful both ways, but I like this way better :)

Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......

This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile.

It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.

We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....

but I pulled it off and painted it.

Here they are before. UGLY!

Do not like those 4 set handles either.

It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)

Made by Lane...

I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...

I used Old Ochre.

I get some customers who ask if

I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.

I primed all of it except the tops...

Then I hand painted it all....

distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..

darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...

Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...

I waxed everything else...

Chalk paint is super thick!

I don't like that. So I did my flat finish.

I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,

I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...

Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.

I did a aged look on the handles...

LOVE My handles I did!!!

Here they are completed!

Way better than before!

I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.

I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time.

Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint

to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.

Here is the before....

we sanded and repaired...

sealed up the hole because those handles

where wide and ugly...

repaired all parts that where chipped off....

I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...

I love all the different colors of wood

and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....

I really love this technique on the drawers!

kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...

I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....

love our flat finish, not thick at all

and super smooth....

I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...

has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...

we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...

or it can be removed and left like this...

I am really in love with this :)

We repaired the side that was pulled apart...

sanded her down completely...

Metallic Silver French Provincial Dresser....

This was a furnished and custom painted

french provincial dresser painted for

a client who wanted it in her nursery. This was back in October

that we painted it. Although, she didn't want me to post it on my

blog or facebook till she unveiled the room on her baby shower.

She wanted it a metallic silver everywhere even handles.

So this was before...

damaged veneer, old factory paint, missing middle knobs,....

here it is after we primed and painted it....

we sealed in mostly all scratches and major dents...

sanded to a smooth finish...
