Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......


This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile. 
It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.  
We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....
but I pulled it off and painted it.
Here they are before.  UGLY!
Do not like those 4 set handles either.


It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)


Made by Lane...



I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...
I used Old Ochre.
I get some customers who ask if
 I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.


I primed all of it except the tops...



Then I hand painted it all....
distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..
darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...


Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...
.



I waxed everything else...


 Chalk paint is super thick!
I don't like that.  So I did my flat finish.


I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,
I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...
Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.


I did a aged look on the handles...


LOVE My handles I did!!!


Here they are completed!



Way better than before!

Shabby Chic Purple Highboy Chest.....

This was a custom order piece that a previous 
customer dropped off. She wanted me to repair a broken leg 
and fix the drawers where they wouldn't go all the way to the back.
She wanted it a certain purple color then 
distressed with white showing.
This is a picture of it after we repaired
all she wanted us to repair.
Plus we sanded it down.


The leg that was repaired...


Primed it white.....
then painted it purple...


distressed it all over to make it 
look aged or shabby...


added back all the hardware....











She really loved it and so do I :)
