Duncan Phyfe Buffet...


We had this beautiful duncan phyfe buffet for some time
in our inventory.  I wanted to put a painted piece of my own
design out for sale and chose this buffet.
Here is the before below.  We repaired cosmetic damage.
Stripped the top down.


Then, I refinished the top.  



I used a custom mix of stains for the refinished top.



Sealed it in a satin poly.





I decided to keep this beautiful hardware.
I also painted and antiqued the 
hardware also.  





Painted the body in a light gray chalk paint
I custom mixed.  


Antiqued it in some areas but no distressing.

















I really love how it came out!

French Provincial Bed, Chest, Nightstand.......


We did this set for one of our amazing repeat clients who has been 
coming to us for almost 2 years now.
She picked this french nightstand and full size
bed set from our inventory.  She wanted them in all white clean look.
No distressing or aging.  
Then wanted us to custom paint her french chest to match the bed set
and nightstand.
Here's the chest below.  



Thick paint over existing factory finish.


We stripped it off down to bare wood.



I primed it and then painted it all white.
I used my fav paint Ben Moore in simply white.


She wanted the hardware in a true gold.










Then here is the nightstand from our
 inventory that she picked out.
Thick chalk paint and dark wax.



We stripped it all down to bare wood.



Primed it, then painted it in Ben Moore.












Last was this beautiful antique french bed set.
This was one of my fav finds!  


Stripped it all down.


Primed it, then painted it.

















Whole set all done and beautiful!
All done in time for her move in their newly built home!
