Old World Look For Deep Gray Dresser......

I had this dresser in my inventory for awhile.  It was up

for sale as is since last November.  So, I decided to redesign 

it in my own color and look.  It is available for sale now.

Here is the before below.  We repaired some cosmetic damage

here and there.

I decided to use Annie Sloan chalk paint on this one.

I custom mixed some colors to 

get a deep rich gray color.

I didn't distress it at all because, I think it didn't 

go with the look of this dresser.  So I aged it with some

dark wax.

Then, I painted the hardware silver and aged those

also.

I sealed in all the holes on the top drawers, I didn't

like the handles.  

So, I added some silver glass knobs.  I wanted them

big and square to go with the look of the dresser.

We also added some feet on all four corners.

I'm like so in love with how it turned out.  It's exactly what 

I pictured when designing it.

Antique Executive Desk.......

Another one of our wonderful repeat clients came to us

and wanted to know if we had a executive desk. 

She sent me style from Restoration Hardware.  I had a beautiful 

one I knew she would love.  It needed tons of cosmetic work.

Here it is below.

We repaired all the cosmetic parts, sealed in all dents, scratches, 

and pit holes as she wanted a smooth flat finish.

Then sanded it all down.

Sealed in all the holes because, she wanted handles.

She sent me some she was going to order 

online, I then showed her some I had that were perfect 

for the look she wanted.  

I also suggested Restoration Hardware paint and she loved that

idea.  She picked the color Graphite from them.  I ordered 

it and when to work on it.  I primed the whole desk of course.

Then, I painted it with the restoration hardware paint.

I cleaned up the hardware.

Look at that awesome job John did.  You can't even see

that it was ever damaged.

Our smooth custom flat finish.

No brush strokes as we spray it with a high volume 

low pressure gun and our huge air compressor.

This is the back of the desk we also custom painted.

She loved it!  I do too, way cheaper than the actual

Restoration Hardware desks.  Plus, it's antique and 

100% solid wood.

Score!

French Provincial Oversized Nightstands....

One of our many wonderful previous clients asked us to 

look for some big nightstands in a french style.  

We found these and she loved them.  She wanted them custom 

painted all white in a clean look with no distress.

Then hardware left original.

Here is the before below.

We stripped it all down to a smooth finish.

Then primed it all and painted it all white.

She wanted hardware left original.

This is why our wonderful clients keep coming back to us!

Plus, even referring us.  We feel so blessed.

Look at that smooth flat finish.

They came out fantastic!

I had this piece in my current as is unpainted

inventory for sale.  I pulled it and decided to custom

We filled in the top four knobs and added some extra 

holes on the bottom drawers.  Stripped it all down and filled 

in some veneer that had bubbled up.

wood  on drawers, but once stained it covered it all up.

So, I painted it using general finishes milk paint

in queenstown gray.

Then aged it with some van dyke brown glaze.

Sealed the final coat in a satin finish.

Love the small removeable tray too!

I think it came out really nice :)

A new client found my blog online, contacted me thru my blog,

picked out this mid century modern chest of drawers from

our inventory.  She loved my current inventory and our work.

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.

So I picked a few colors from Benjamin Moore for her, 

Her daughter decided on this mellow teal.  

Here are the befores below.

Shabby chic pink & teal furniture...

A client came to us 3 years ago with some furniture

she didn't want and gave it to us.  

She contacted us in June and wanted us 

to custom paint some pieces for her grand daughters 

room.  I discounted her on the custom 

painting from the furniture she gave us all those years ago.

Above is a old armoire with shelves in it 

and a drawer on bottom. 

This needed repair so we did that.

 She wanted me to design 

all the pieces with my own color scheme.

Being that her grand daughter loved pink,

I went with colors that are bright and fun.

I did a custom pink from annie sloan chalk paint

and a custom teal from the same line of chalk paint.

Painted the hardware 2 different shade of gold.

Distressed all the edges to show some teal.

I went with a shabby chic aged pink and teal look.

Next, was the bookshelf.  

This needed repair also.  Which we did.

I stained the whole shelf and sealed it.

Painted the hardware 2 shade of gold.

Painted it the same custom colors from the armoire.

Last, was this iron gate door she had.

She wanted us to make it into a twin 

headboard,  We cut off the hinges on the side.

I sealed it and custom painted it the teal

from above.  Then added some gold to the edge tips

We have quite a few of those banister posts, so 

we added some to the ends.

All finished and looking adorable!

Antique metal bed painted....

Another one of our previous clients wanted us to custom

paint a antique metal head and footboard set.  

Here is the before...

it had a thick powder coating finish on it....

we stripped all of it down to the bare metal....

I primed it...

She chose farrow and ball metal paint in a

high gloss mahogany color..

it took 2 weeks to harden and cure...

Was hard work but looks beautiful!

Gray MCM Dresser.........

I usually put up pieces we get in for 

sale as is or I can custom paint it for you in the color of 

your choice.  This one though I wanted to paint in a color 

I chose.  I don't get to do that as much as 

I'm pretty busy with custom client orders.

So here is the before below.

I sanded it down, I didn't go down to the bare wood

because I was going to use general finishes milk paint.

I just sanded it down more because I wanted too.

Formica top, I sanded that down also.

Repaired the back legs because they had missing

chunks of wood.  Smoothed it all out now it looks 

like it wasn't even there.  We don't use wood putty

either as that shrinks with time.  Our repair we

do will last forever and is rock solid.

Primed it all.

Then I painted it in queenston gray, the camera took 

a bright picture though so this is not the true color.

Kept the hardware the same just cleaned them.

This one below is more the color.

I really love this modern look.

This is currently for sale.

White Distressed Baby Crib......

This was for our referral client who we furnished 

and custom painted this dresser set for a few weeks ago.

When applied correctly it is the best!

Lots of work but fantastic look.

we know what we are doing and how to do it.

It isn't easy. 

All done and looking beautiful!
