Vintage 1970's Console Stand..

Before...

Was totally unloved and not taken care of at all....

The finish on it was thick and just horrible!

Gashes on top and stained.....

After.....

We repaired all the gashes, sanded it all down, I primed it then painted it with 2 coats of dark grey. Waxed it 3 times. Painted the handles gold...and here it is!

I just love all the compartments and everything is hidden with all the doors. All solid wood.....

Flat Latex Finish/Smooth Chalk Paint Finish...

We use latex paint for our high end finishes. When applied correctly is the best on furniture. We've been custom painting with it since 2010. Our clients keep coming back and referring us! We prefer to use Benjamin Moore latex paint/Fusion Mineral Paint/Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I can use other paints but my favorite is Ben Moore Latex/Fusion Mineral Paint/General Finishes Milk Paint/Annie Sloan. Our finish is very durable with either our latex/mineral paint/milk paint/chalk paint. Our latex has a very fine flat thin finish. With mineral /milk paint it is thin, just not as thin as our latex. Our chalk is the least thin but still thin. We use a hvlp spray gun on our primers and latex paints. On mineral paints/milk/ chalk paints, it will depend on the look that is asked for. It can be hand painted or sprayed. Some of our chalk finishes are wax sealed. If the client asked for a water based sealer finish we use the hvlp gun also. No splotches, splatters, or paint drips either. We do prime our pieces depending on the type of finish you want. If you click on my pictures you can see our flat finish. Paint is included in my pricing for custom orders so keep that in mind when asking for a quote. We go above and beyond for our smooth flat finish. Most of our client orders are latex finish, our clientele loves our flat, smooth, thin professional latex finishes.
