Light Gray Italian Provincial Dresser...
I scored this italian provincial dresser made by Century
off the internet! Before below.
Had some damage to veneer, plus the legs where loose.
The legs are not screwed in so we had to
really reinforce them. Now there tight and sturdy.
I sanded it down, primed it, and painted it in
Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray.
I had a customers who we used this color
for on for her order a few years ago.
I fell in love with it!
Thank you Brooke 😘
I changed out the top knobs hardware for some
of my favorite I had in my inventory.
The bottom handles I kept original but took off
the floral back ends.
I did a clean finish on this one.
No distressing. This finish is more
time consuming, because of the sanding down.
Then priming, then painting. Which you have to do when
painting with latex. Which I've become a pro
at since this is basically what the majority
of my customers asked for on their orders.
Which has been since 2012.
The finish I do holds up also. I've had customers from 2013
that their pieces still look amazing.
This one came out so beautiful though!
Love it...I mean I know I say that
a lot but just look at it?!
Ha Ha 😄

Restored Mid Century Modern Dresser....
I had this for sometime in my inventory, but then
I used it in my sons room for about 4 years.
He has moved on to another piece, so I might as well
refinish it! I have many mcm dressers in
my inventory, adding this one would be ridiculous.
I mean if I don't get to it now, when will I?
The before is above and below.
I couldn't put it up for sale as is looking like this.
To many scratches, missing veneer in some areas.
Has wood handles.
Wood flat square pull on top drawers.
Stripped it all down.
Striped everything but the back part of the top drawers.
I loved that pattern and wasn't sure I could copy that.
Here it is below after I stained it in dark walnut.
Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.

Beautiful French Dresser...
I've had this beautiful french dresser in my inventory
(along with a whole lot more dressers). Since I've decided to move
my customer orders to summer only...I'm
starting to get to the inventory I've had.
Finally going to start putting out pieces in my own design
for sale.
This particular one is made by Drexel in the Riviera
style. Here is the before below.
Had to fix 3 drawers because they where hard to open
and close. I always always make sure my pieces
go out in excellent working condition.
I didn't like that wave pattern on it at all.
So, I removed it.
It was nailed and glued on but came off somewhat
easy..ha ha!
Filled in the major scratches, not all because I wanted this
to be a farmhouse shabby chic look. I mean it's old
and vintage so might as well show it huh?
I had to prime it because it's cherry wood so bleed through!
Then I painted it in Joanna Gaines Magnolia
chalk paint color Shiplap.
It's a weathered white.
I don't make my chalk paint I just buy it. I don't really
care how expensive it is, if the quality is good I'm good.
I find making it leaves a rough grainy finish.
I love smooth finishes.
Distressed edges and left hardware in original condition.
I price my pieces I paint by my experience I have
and my work which is really
good. Plus the time I put into some of these, repairs, design,
materials, (paint is expensive), plus the age and style of the
piece.
Details are amazing!
Looks so much better without those wave patterns.

Cleaned up Antique Dresser...
One of my followers on Facebook had been
following us for sometime. She had this dresser
(pictured above before) it had chips in paint.
Two of the larger drawers had been damaged has shown
below. She wanted us to repair those.
Plus freshen up the paint job on the rest.
I told her i no longer strip painted
pieces anymore. She was fine with just a light sand not removing the paint.
Here are the drawers we repaired below.
You can't even tell, John did an excellent job.
We sanded it, then I primed it.
Then painted it white.
She loved it, she was more impressed with our paint job than
the repairs 😄
Chest in Alabaster...
My uncle found this for us. I hated that hardware.
It's made by American Of Martinsville.
Straight modern design with some curved feet.
Here is the before below.
Once we sanded it down, sealed in
most of the dents/scratches and added new holes.
I primed then painted it in Sherwin Williams
Alabaster.
Added new hardware in brushed nickel.
Had to repair all the drawers because they where
stuck and hard to open.
Now the drawers open and close smoothly.
Has 5 drawers total.
Decided to go in a clean look on this one.

Large Cream Distressed French Buffet....
I found this beautiful very wide and old french
provincial buffet last year. It's 94.5" wide. I had it up as custom
painted only. New customer put an order in for it
last October or November. We are booked for months.
She waited patiently. Here it is before below.
She wanted my chalk painted cream distressed
finish with a stained dark top.
It was painted in a dark reddish brown color.
So we stripped everything down. I wanted that natural
wood to show up not the painted look it had.
Stained the top in general finishes espresso.
Sealed in a semi gloss.
Body painted in cream.
Distressed the edges.
I had this beautiful hardware and added that to the
middle drawers.

Mid Century Modern in Luxe...
We found this dresser in very very very used condition.
As you can see below.
Missing hardware pieces. Chipped veneer in
various places.
Formica top was okay.
More chipped veneer.
Sanded down after we sealed in those
chopped veneer pieces.
Sealed in the scratches on the sides.
I painted it in Luxe by
Joanna Gaines Magnolia Chalk Paint.
Its a green with gray undertones so it softens
the green so it's not so bright. Very neutral.
Changed out the hardware with some knobs I loved from
Hobby Lobby that they discounted :/
So I stained the bottom drawers and bottom base
in a dark walnut then sealed in a flat sealer.
This was my initial design I wanted.
Then I asked John to come see it.
He looks at it and says wow!
But how about we change it up some and he
put the bottom drawers in the middle.
I loved it! But I loved the bottom drawer look too!
Then he goes okay how about this...and puts the
stained drawers on the top!!
I was like oh my Gosh!! Please stop!!
I loved that too! I just couldn't decide.
I love all three looks!

Gray Art Deco 1920s/30s Buffet.....

Mid Century Modern in Navy...
I had this early mid century modern
dresser in my inventory for some time.
I've been pulling pieces from my inventory
as we're getting overloaded on pieces.
During the past 7 years we've had customer paint orders after
another with no gap. Well, we've gotten a large
build up of our own pieces. Our customer orders have
mostly been their own pieces they want us to paint.
Anyways, here is the before of the dresser I was putting
up for sale this week while still working on my
customer orders.
I removed the bottom piece and added
some mid century legs. I figured it would look much better.
Stripped it down.
Stained the top drawers and legs.
Painted the rest in Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.
Hardware I painted gold.
Stained drawers in dark walnut.
I was actually undecided on color.
I had this one and other in mind.
A customer contacted me and wanted it.
So, it sold before I could list it.
Looks so beautiful! I'm so amazed at what I can
come up with and do sometimes!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!
Gray Italian Provincial....
This dresser had a unique look to it.
Was indecisive on the color. I didn't want
a dark color or a super light color either.
Before below.
I kept coming back to a gray but not
too light nor too dark.
So, I custom made this color with a mix of
chalk paints I had.
Left the hardware alone. It was beautiful as is.
The well made vintage structure too.
The hardware is thick and heavy.
Distressed the edges but very lightly.
I didn't want to age too much or it would
take away from the piece.
