Antique White Nightstands Set....

Nightstands made from old vanity.  Before below.

We repaired and stripped them.

I primed them, then painted them all white with 

distress on edges.

New hardware.

Grey Headboard Bench.....

This full size headboard was part of a bedroom set we had.

It had no footboard so we decided to make it into 

a bench.

Here is the before below.

We have lots of furniture part in our inventory, so 

I pulled out some beautiful ornate legs to add to the

front of the bench for legs.

I told John what I wanted and he went to work.

This is it below fully built before I painted it.

I stained the seat and sealed it with polycrylic.

I painted the rest a medium grey with annie sloan

chalk paint.

Antiqued it with no distress.

Painted the back also, just in case.

Extremely happy with the turnout 💓💓!!!

Currently available for sale.

Graphite Darkest Grey Dresser and Chest Set......

We found this beautiful dresser set a month ago and I 

decided to paint in my own design instead of listing it as is.

Here are the befores below.

I changed out the hardware for french handles

and kept the knobs on the chest.

I decided to go dark on these pieces.

I did graphite in annie sloan chalk paint

on everything even the hardware.

Smooth flat finish.

I didn't distress it just let the distress happen naturally

when I waxed it.  

So there is hardly any distress.

Loving how good it turned out!! BEAUTIFUL 💖😍

Has been sold.

French Provincial Light Grey Dresser.....

One of our repeat clients wanted us to paint her french 

provincial dresser in a light grey. It needed minor repair 

like dents, chipped veneer, and a new wood back.

She wanted the hardware kept original just cleaned up some,

but to keep the patina look.

We stripped most of it down and sanded the rest down.

I primed and painted in a smooth clean finish.

The primer I matched to almost the same color

as the paint.

She wanted no distress.

Smooth clean finish.

She was really happy with the outcome,  I love this look!

Cream Antiqued French Vanity.....

A new client contacted me in February and wanted 

her antique vanity painted to match the old style henry link

dressers.  We decided on cream from annie sloan.

The vanity needed repair also.  It was weak on the legs and 

loose, some detail was chipped on the tip of the mirror decor,

and she wanted the holes on the top sealed in.

I have a big waiting list and we just got to it last week 

and she waited very patiently (as all my clients do) 😊

Here is the before below.

She said it was primed already, we had to strip the top though to 

seal in the holes then we smoothed out the rest of the vanity.

Here it is after I painted and antiqued it.

Our smooth finish.

She loved it, I think it came out really beautiful!!

Antiqued Dark Grey French Dresser...

I found this piece last July 2016 in a store all beat up and needed

 lots of repair.  We always had custom paint orders for clients,

so we couldn't get to it on the repair part then.  John 

worked on it here and there till it was fully stripped, repaired,

and ready for me to paint it in my own design.

Here are the befores below...

Missing chipped veneer and very worn in many areas.

Both feet where chipped off and missing.

Hardware was filthy.  Top was badly worn.

Last Nov-Dec 2016 I was squeezing in pieces of my 

own color design and putting them up for sale.

Which I rarely have time to do (lots of orders).  

I had a new client contact me that had been following me 

for years and actually seen my work from her friend 

( one of our clients)

that we did custom painted work for on many pieces.

So, she contacted me and wanted to know what I'd be or if

I'd be working on any pieces in my own design soon.

I showed her this one and colors (designs) I was thinking about.

I told her the price I'd be listing it at and she said 

she was very interested, although I told her it would be some time

till I could get to it as I was really booked tight.

She said no problem she would wait she understands.

She was so patient!  It took us about 2 1/2 almost 3 months 

till I could get to it.  I still have custom orders but I had some room to 

squeeze it in while John repaired/prepped other orders for me till I 

can get to them.

After John had finally repaired and stripped it I went to painting it.

Dark grey and antiqued.

He repaired both feet as we do with all our french feet.

I mean why would you not.  I think there was only one french dresser 

we did years back with clipped off feet.  Never again, it 

looks better with the whole foot.  Right?

I think so, but then I'm a perfectionist 😏

We cleaned up these beautiful handles.  No painting at all

on these beauties.

I love it and she did too!  😊😍

Well worth the wait!!

White Mid Century Modern End Tables....

I had these mid century end tables for sometime

in my inventory.  They didn't sell as is or for a custom 

paint order, so I decided to paint them in my own design.

Here is the before below.

I decided on all white clean look.

Cleaned the brass tip feet.

They have glass tops which are removeable.

Oh, I'm in love.....

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

she purchased from us and we custom painted

 for her a few years ago so much.  She wanted me to paint 

this table the same color and look as that dresser.

You can view that dresser here.  

http://pieceofcandyfurniture.blogspot.com/2015/04/french-regency-turned-into-media-cabinet.html

So, here is the before on the table.

Painted white and gel stained top.

We stripped it all.

This took awhile, it had red factory paint under the 

white paint.  She said she purchased this table like 

that.

I painted it the grey color.

Then distressed.

Love it!  Thank you again Corey!!

Antique Dining Set Table Chairs China Cabinet Buffet Old White Antiqued.....

This set was for repeat clients who loved our work on some dressers

we custom painted in my own design that they purchased 

from us.  They asked if we could paint this beautiful 

antique set that was one of the clients grandmothers.  It was passed

down to him and he was waiting for the right person to 

paint it.  I was very honored and pleased he chose me to do the

custom paint job :)  He loved my previous work so much that we 

had done for them and my  previous work they seen on my blog and facebook,

We picked it all up and delivered it all.  It took me about three weeks to complete.

Although, we had the pieces for 2 weeks before till I could get to them.  

We've been extremely busy this year and we feel very blessed.

The look they wanted was an old white antiqued look with 

slight distress, refinished table top, buffet top, and back board of the

china cabinet.  Then the inside buffet and china cabinet bottom darken 

with the same color of stain for what we did on the tops of those pieces.

 Here is the before on the buffet, 

Stripped the top.

Then I stained and sealed the top of the buffet

and did my paint job on the bottom body of the buffet.

Next was the china cabinet, before below.

Refinished the back with some new stain and

sealed it.  Then did the paint job on the rest.

Hardware kept original.

This table was huge with leaves that slide under.

Here is the before below.

Stripped the table top and leaves.

This is the bottom of the table.

All 6 chairs before.

Painted the bottom table legs.

Refinished the table tops and sealed them all.

Then painted all the chairs.

They loved it so much, I was very pleased with the outcome also!

It was a tremendous amount of work but well worth it!

Like I said before we feel so honored when clients choose

us to custom paint their family heirlooms :))

Duck Egg Blue Duncan Phyfe Furniture.....

New client found us online looking for a duncan 

phyfe dresser to match her nightstand she had.

She wanted this set for her daughter's room.

She picked this duncan dresser we had in our inventory

pictured below.  After looking thru my blog at my photos

of all my past work she picked

the duck egg blue chalk painted antiqued look that I do.

She wanted all the scratches, dents, basically a smooth look

but, antiqued like in our previous work we've done.

So we stripped the dresser down.

I forgot to take a before pick of her duncan nightstand.

Here it is below after we stripped it and sealed in all the scratches,

dents, and missing veneer.

Here they are below after I did my painted work on them.

She wanted a slight distress only on edges

and a oil rubbed bronze on the hardware.

She loved them!

Mcm Chest Of drawers Two Tone....

Repeat client wanted her mid century chest of drawers painted

in a two tone color,  She is the same client with the last mcm pieces in a two tone

finish in the previous posts.

Here is the before below ...

She wanted us to seal in the previous hardware holes

and make new ones centered, two singles on each drawer.

Plus seal in all the knicks and scratches.

We painted the body a dark gray and the drawers 

a true white.

Mid Century Modern Dresser.......

Our new client who we did the mid century dresser 

in the previous post had this dresser from her childhood.

She wanted the same two tone color as the previous dresser 

we did for her.  White body with refinished drawers.

Before pictured below.

We had to repair one of the legs as pictured you can see 

it's broken apart.  So we had to take the legs and braces off 

of all four legs to reinforce them all.

We sanded it all down.

Sealed in all the cracks, missing veneer, and scratches.

She wanted a smooth look.

Sanded the drawers and removed the wood decor pieces.

Then I primed and painted the body white

and

stained the drawers then sealed them with poly.

She loved it!

Mid Century Modern Two Tone Dresser...

New client found us on Craigslist in last month and also 

found this dresser on Craigslist.  She bought the dresser

and dropped it off with us to paint it.

She's also leaving us 2 more mcm dressers that were hers

and wants us to custom paint those too.

Those will be in a later post (working on them now).

Below is the before of the mcm dresser she found.

She wanted all the dents and scratches filled in

for a smooth clean look.

She also wanted a new wood back as the current one was 

beat up and cardboard.

So we stripped it...removed the back cardboard.

Filled in all the dents and scratches. 

Then I primed the body and painted it white which

is what she wanted.  She wanted a two tone look.

White body with stained drawers.

She wanted the stain in a certain color...

not too red and not too black.

More brown.

We stripped the drawers down and I forgot to 

take a picture of them stripped.  I was short on time.

I will with the next mcm dresser she wants us to do.

That will be in my next post.

She loved it and we did too!

Mcm Dark Grey Dresser...

We had this fantastic looking mcm dresser

for sometime in our inventory.

A new client came to us and wanted to know

what I would be painting next in my own design

 to put out for sale.

I told her this one as it had minimal repair to be done

and I was going to do a dark grey with black gloss knobs.

No distress and a clean look.

She said she wanted it for her new child's 

room and that design and color would be perfect.

Here is the before below.

We tightened all the dovetail drawers as they were loose.

Stripped it all. 

Filled in all the cosmetic damage.  She wanted it all smooth.

I primed it all and painted it a dark grey.

She loved it and so do I : )

Lego Table From Cabinet......

A new client came to us referred from a previous client

of ours.  She had this old cabinet she wanted us to 

make it into a lego table.

Here is the before below.

We repaired everything she wanted us to repair

and then she wanted it painted all white 

before we added the lego boards.

We stripped it all after repairing it.

Sealed in the all the holes on the drawers to make 

it into one hole for one knob.  Plus the old lock hole we sealed into also.

Super adorable!  Her daughter loved it!

piece in a certain look.

She chose Dorian Grey from sherwin williams

that I color matched with benjamin moore.

Then she wanted it lighten by 70%.

Below is the color painted on it already.

We had to get new backplates for the hardware as one 

was missing.  We both loved the look of the hardware after.

I painted the hardware a beautiful gold she chose.

Beautiful!

any bookshelves for her sons room.

chipped half off.

Here's the foot that was chipped off...

John did a excellent job.

We cut some shelves and I custom matched it.

She absolutely loved it!
