Mint Teal Antique Dresser......
This antique dresser was not well kept at all. We repaired
the split wood pieces now secure and tight, the inside drawer bases had thinning
damaged wood which we replaced with new wood. Made sure everything
was nice and secure before I painted it. As we do with all our furniture,
either for sale as is or painted.
Before pictures below.
I custom mixed annie sloan chalk paint to a nice
minty teal color.
Kept a lot of the dents and splits in wood
as I usually always seal them in for a
smooth look. With this though it was
old and I think it goes good with the look.
It shows its age, I didn't want to take that away.
Painted the hardware gold.
Distressed edges.
Wow....
currently available for sale. Message if interested.
Grey Dresser & Nightstand Set....
I painted this old dresser and nightstand set in a
chalk painted finish. The color is a custom mix made from
annie sloan chalk paint. Applied in a smooth thin no
brush stroke finish.
Here are the before pictures below.
I repaired the dresser drawer slides and the sides
of the dresser as it was splitting.
Nightstand top had to be stripped. The handle was missing on
one of the drawers. So I replaced it with some
vintage duncan phyfe handles I had.
I kept all the hardware original on the dresser.
I searched thru my hardware inventory to
find the same color of the hardware on the dresser.
Distressed edges only.
In love. Would look beautiful in a nursery or any room
where space is a problem.

Hutch Top Made Into Bookshelf Painted Black...
This was a hutch to a china cabinet that we added some legs
to and had it available in our inventory as is or
we could custom paint it for a client.
A new client who contacted me from my blog wanted us
to custom paint her antique buffet & hutch cabinet plus she wanted

Spindle Bedroom Set Clean White.....
Another new client contacted me thru my fb page.
She wanted us to paint her furniture that was given
to her by her aunt. She said she wanted
it for her little girls room instead of buying new furniture.
The color she wanted was all white no distress.
It was a dresser, vanity top with mirror, nightstand,
and a bed. Lots of spindles mixed in the whole set except the dresser.
Here is the before of the dresser, vanity, mirror,
and nightstand.
We stripped them down and sanded the rest down.
Then I primed them all.
She also wanted the knobs painted white but
not the brass parts.
Painted them all white with Benjamin Moore paint.
Our drop dead smooth finish.
My pictures speak for themselves.
Painted the knobs after we stripped those.
Painted with Benjamin Moore paint also.
Lots of hard work to get our finish to look like
it does.
We removed the mirror to paint back and front of
the mirror frame. It's more work but looks professionally done.
Here is the dresser with the vanity & mirror.
Without the vanity & mirror.
I love it!
Next, was the spindle full/queen size bed.

Stripped & sanded.

New client contacted me thru my blog and wanted me
to custom paint her antique buffet & china cabinet (hutch).

blue with antiquing I've done with Annie Sloan.

Next, was the hutch.

Same color and finish as the buffet above.
She wanted everything painted, so we took
apart everything.

My smooth thin finish.
It takes a whole lot of time, paint, and work
to get these looks I do. I mean lots of work.
The detailing, numerous coats of paint I do
but in the end, I always always always love the outcome.
Plus, the bonus is the clients reaction when they see it 💝
Dark Charcoal Chest Of Drawers...........

Destroyed French Dresser Made Beautiful Again....
We found this old antique french dresser at a resale
shop back in October of 2016. I loved the look of it
and knew once we got our hands on it the beauty would show,
So, we worked on our custom clients orders and John
repaired it here and there on the side.
Here are some photos below of all the damage.
It was missing a middle handle and knob. I had the
exact ones in my inventory.
One of the middle feet was clipped off and missing.
Missing slides on drawers.
Veneer missing and pulling off throughout the whole piece.
That is solid wood decor on the drawers not plastic.
Middle cabinet door was damaged.
We repaired all the missing veneer & drawer slides, made another foot,
stripped it all down. Then I primed it.
Shaped all the repair nice and smooth with no pit holes.
The dresser had factory paint and another
layer of some oil base paint over it.
Added a new wood back.
Then after priming it, I painted it all white from
Benjamin Moore.
Slight distress on edges. Left some dents in to go
with the look of the older piece.
Painted hardware in a soft iron color.
This is the foot we repaired. Remember it
was completely clipped off and missing.
Paint applied in our smooth flat finish.
Painted the hinges and fencing in the
soft iron color also.
Cabinet door all repaired.
Deep bottom drawers.
It looks so beautiful! Currently available for purchase.
