Chairs I painted for one of my customers.....


Before....



She wanted me to just paint them and she would add the fabric after.  So I painted and she did the fabric.  
We first sanded them to the bare wood, repaired some of the pieces that where loose, then added 3 coats of primer,  and 4 coats of white paint.  Her husband did the table same color.  

And After.......




Isn't it just beautiful!  I love the fabric she chose.  Thank you so much Laurie for sending me the after pictures with the fabric on them :)

Brutalist Teal Brown Dresser By Lane


Found this beauty and was like so in love with it!  Found out it was made by a designer that did some work for Lane Furniture in the 1960's or 70's.  I can't seem to find if it was designed by Paul Evans or Arron Donner though.  I fixed it up repaired the drawers and nicks. Sanded down the outer shell, stained it, then painted it brown, then stained it again.  Then waxed it.  


Then I painted the drawers teal and distressed abit, then dark waxed them.  I think it came out just Outrageous!   Truly truly truly outrageous!

Purple Rustic Dresser & Nitestand




This was a very blah dresser when I got it.  Formica top and missing handles.  But with 1 coat of primer and 4 coats of paint this is just gorgeous now!  I found these handles from another dresser painted them grey and sanded down the drawers then stained and waxed them.  The colors all put together are just WOW!


I also found a nitestand that matched the dresser and painted it so now it is a SET!

Rustic Telephone Mail Cabinet Stand



Found this one and had to have it!  I sanded then stained.  Put a wood back on it because it came without one.  Then added a cute knob I had.  I think a phone goes on top and then papers on the shelf area.  The mail can go in the slots.  Then you have a cabinet on bottom.
