Custom Order For New Buyer Amy

These where the before pictures, we had the mirror replaced, repaired the drawer inside to make it more sturdy.  Sanded it down......



sanded this one down....


She wanted it painted like one of my previous ones.  She did want the handles painted teal, but they looked so good once we polished them up.  


Then we decided on painting the headboard teal to bring out the teal on the dresser..........


And here they both are!  


Looks super cute!!

Grey French Provincial Dresser with Pink Handles


This was a before picture I was sanding it down getting ready to prime it.  My Buddy was looking at me sitting on his bench, yes HIS bench :)  My husband repaired 2 of the dovetail drawers they where missing the back pieces.  



I decided to paint it grey for the shell and I sanded the drawers down but left some cream paint on them, then stained and waxed the drawers.  Then painted the handles pink.


I used some light brown wax to bring out the wood and darken it abit.......


I love the way it came out!

Grey Custom Order Set Dresser Desk Headboard


This was a custom order for one of my repeat buyers, she picked out these that I had, and said she wanted them painted like one of my dressers I had done before.  I actually had to look for a headboard for her and she liked this one I found.  For the dresser I forgot to take pictures of the before...



The desk was painted a black lacquer and needed repair, so we fixed the damaged parts and sanded them all down, primed them...  


And here they are!!!  Grey with black handles :)


Looks super awesome!!!!!

Emerald Green Buffet


This was a old buffet we found and it was a mess.  We sanded it down real good and repaired some parts that where coming undone.  Fixed the inside pull out tray and added some handles I had cause it didn't have any.......so I decided to paint it a color that would really be a piece to bring out any room.......




Emerald Green !!!!


I also waxed it with some green tinted wax to bring out the color abit more and add some age to it.....


stained the inside drawers and cabinets......


solid heavy drawers......


the pull out tray......stained that also.....


Looks real good doesn't it?  I think so :)

Old Renaissance Star Buffet that was Saved!

We found this piece, it was not taken care of as you can see.  It had a hutch but it was damaged beyond repair which was a shame.  So we kept the door off it that is what you see on top of the before picture.  We looked it up and it seems to be from the early 1900's it is a Renaissance Star Buffet.  It is solid wood very heavy, large dovetailed for the drawers.  









This is after....I painted it silver on the doors, drawer fronts, and the side panels.  Then painted the knobs copper.  These are the original knobs.  Then stained and waxed the outer shell.


Sanded it down, the doors on the bottom where nailed in and wrapped around to use as a hinge.  That is how it was made no hinges.  That was taken out as some doors where already fallen off.  So we added hinges.  


The sides are not doors they are glued and screwed in.


The bottom doors in front do open.  


I love it!  It came out just as I pictured it would:)

Teal and Purple Dresser

This was before.......I had numerous ideas for this one!  We actually got this with no legs, my husband had some and attached them and it looks real nice.  So we sanded, took off the back wood panels behind the spindles.  Then primed it and....




I painted it a mixed teal color,  


Painted the handles purple....


then painted the inside top drawers purple also to bring out the handles.




Now, this looks real cute!
