The client who wanted us to do her kitchen table set
in the post before also wanted us to custom paint 
her side dresser that was her grandmothers for her nursery.
Here's the before below.


It has a plastic top that she wanted removed. 


We removed it and sanded everything down.


I primed it all white then painted it in general finishes
antique white.  


Sealed in a flat sheen finish.


Hardware kept original.



All in a clean no distress look.






Love how beautiful it came out.


In her nursery.



She loved everything!

White Table Set...


Long time follower and new client contacted 
me with her table and chairs set.
She had already sanded it and wanted us
to custom paint it in white.  All in a clean no distressed 
look.  I sanded everything more then primed it all.
She wanted us to remove the arms on the captains 
chair to match all the other chairs.


Painted in Benjamin Moore white.



Sealed table top in a water based sealer.



Sealed chairs and everything else in a wax finish.







Looks amazing!

  
This is it in her home!

Waterfall Art Deco Chest Refinished....


Client sold us this beautiful art deco 
chest to bring down her balance on a 
custom painted order she purchased from us.
Here is the before.


I didn't have the heart to paint over 
the beautiful drawers.  That veneer pattern
was too beautiful. So I stripped everything.


Painted the outside shell in mannequin cream
by benjamin moore.




Waxed the hardware in a bronze gold.
Stained the drawers in a custom mix I made.
Then stained the long wood hardware in
 a dark brown stain.








Sealed the drawers in a semi gloss sheen.
Wax sealed the body paint was in a semi gloss
sheen.

Phenix Art Deco Dresser....


Had this very rare Phenix Furniture art deco 
dresser for 2 1/2 years in my inventory.
So since it hadn't sold i decided to paint it in 
my own design.  This is very well made and has the thickest
veneer I've ever encountered.  It needed extensive repair.
The inside shelves where the drawers slide out on
have some very rare roller balls that help
the drawers just slide out like butter.  Plus the drawer
 slides are super rare also, we've never seen them before.
John had to make one as one was missing out of some metal.
He did a fantastic job. So, Phenix makes very good quality furniture. 
Here is the before below.


Repaired and sanded down everything.
Primed it, then painted it in mannequin cream
by benjamin moore.  


Added new hardware and painted it gold.


Done in a semi gloss finish.




I had to leave this beautiful veneer part alone.
Each piece was cut to make it look like that.
Look at that detail!  It was just too beautiful.
Plus I wanted to leave something original.



I think it brings the piece out some.  
Everything goes really well with the cream, gold,
and wood tone.

















I really love how this came out.  It was a beast to 
get done but we did it pretty quick as we worked together on it.
