White Drexel French Dresser...


I had this french drexel for some time now.
I painted another french drexel same design
different hardware in a light distressed gray.
That's up for sale now.  
A new client contacted me and wanted 
a french dresser in a light gray stained top.
It all worked out because I told her I was 
in the middle of doing this one below in 
a stained top off white body distressed look.
Before picture below.


I was already finished with stripping it to bare wood.
I had been working on this one off and on for about a month now.





She put down a deposit and I had it done in a few days.
Just because it was already ready for me to start on it.
Before she put down the deposit her husband
suggested a white distressed body instead of light gray.
She loved it and decided on that color.


Refinished top in a lighter shade as she requested.
We went with dark walnut.






Done in a smooth semi gloss finish.





Left hardware original.






She loved it and who wouldn't it looks so beautiful!

Nightstands Turned Into Record Player Stand....


A client wanted us to custom paint these in a 
matte black for her salon.
Here is the before below.


7 layers of 3 different primers and 4 different 
latex paints.


Inside drawers where spray painted.


Even the back was painted.


So we stripped them and it took a month.
We worked on them why doing other orders.


The stripper took a whole day to get thru the layers.
Some of the veneer had warped and chipped off.
Whoever painted it before painted right over all that.
Didn't even repair it so we had to repair that 
once we stripped it.  John was not happy.



So, client then messaged and said 
what about making it into a vanity 
again because that's what
they once where.
So we did.
Here it is painted in general finishes
lamp black. 
Then sealed in a flat sealer.


Added a shelf to make the vanity.



Added new knobs.


Painted the inside drawers.






Then we delivered it and she said ..
this may work perfect under my kitchen bar.
She had speakers there with here record player
and sound system on the floor.
She just moved in her new home and was looking for a 
record player stand.
John and her got to talking about ideas to add 2 more shelves
to the vanity.
So we came back 2 days later installed them
and here it is all completed!


She loved it!  She was so happy!  
It looks so cool 💖

Pink Distressed French Dresser...


Found this dresser in some bad shape.
Before pictures below.



Look at this top.


I sanded it down and tried to 
get all the scratches out.
Got most but not all.  So I just smoothed
out what I couldn't remove.


I wasn't too upset as it was going to go 
with the vintage aged look I was going 
for.  Stained it in a mixture of 
driftwood, provincial, and true brown.


I painted it in a new paint I wanted to try.
I follow them on Instagram.
The Chippy Barn Amulent paint.
Color is nursery rhyme.


Kept hardware original.



It's a beautiful color!  Paint is very smooth.
Distresses and chips perfectly for that aged
vintage look I wanted.








Sealed everything in a flat water based sealer.






Priced at $300.
