Restoration Hardware French Twin Bed.....


One of our wonderful repeat clients from 2014 came 
back to us and picked this french provincial twin bed
out of our inventory.  She wanted it to match her previous pieces
she purchased from us and had us custom paint them in 
restoration hardware colors and designs.
They where all done at different times.  She is very patient 
and waits for the perfect pieces we get in that she likes.
Here is the before of the twin bed.



We stripped it down and she wanted us to remove all the spindles
to make it more modern and unisex for her little boy.







Next we primed it.


Then I painted it the color she wanted which was 
a restoration hardware paint.




Did the detail in a restoration hardware paint also.
I didn't have to be perfect on the detail either!  
The design is meant to look imperfect.





Distressed certain areas to show some wood and some primer.









Looks fantastic without the spindles!  
Here are all the pieces below we have furnished and custom painted 
for her.  All in the same style and all french.
We custom made the french chest it was actually a 
highboy.  We then made her the baby changing table and 
made it removeable with hinges.  You can
search my blog for that post under "Restoration Hardware".

Black Aged Antique Buffet Cabinet.....


I had this old anitque buffet for a while.
It was for sale as is, I got inquires on it but 
no one serious.  You get a lot of those in this line
of work.  We repaired all loose veneer.
Sanded the top.


I painted it in a mixture of colors with annie
sloan chalk paint to get a black.


Distressed edges only.


Added new bigger knobs to bring out the piece.
Painted those also black and aged them too.










Looks really good in aged all black.
Currently available for purchase.

CoCo Antique Chest Of Drawers


We found this beautiful antique chest of drawers
a few weeks ago.  I decided to paint it in my own
color design.  Here is the befores below.


Veneer damage on the top.
We repaired that part.  Then repaired everything else that needed it.


I decided on Annie sloan coco.
here is the top part, we just removed all the veneer
and sanded it down to a smooth finish.


I distressed only the edges and then aged 
some parts.




No hand painted all sprayed with our hvlp gun.


Added all new knobs and I love them!



I also added some wood wheels to the bottom.
Didn't paint those left the original wood finish.





Look at all those drawers!  Six total.







Love this and it's currently available for purchase.  Message for info.
