Custom Painted Highchair....

I had a previous customer of ours
contact me and want me to paint
her highchair that was hers
as a child.  She wanted her baby
to use it but needed it refinished.
She wanted it all white, but then I 
asked her how about the tray
refinished in a stain,
then distress the white edges.
She loved that idea, so here 
it was before....


we sanded it down....
took it apart...
taped up the straps...


took the tray apart...


completely apart and sanded it down...


then I stained it...


add poly....


primed and painted the highchair all white......





distressed the edges....







My goodness it is just TOO CUTE!!!
She LOVED it!!!!

Refinished Antique Vanity Painted Pink.....

This vanity was painted in some lacquer paint...
So here it is before, a reddish brown..


so we stripped it down...
added a wheel as one was missing....


stripped the drawers and the mirror 
frame (not pictured)


I primed and then painted it the pink he 
picked....














I also replaced the knobs for 
some better ones...
he liked it :)


we also replaced the mirror as the other
was to heavy for the wood frame....












So pretty :)

Old Oriental Chest Refinished to look old and rustic....

I had one of my followers contact me for an appt to 
view my inventory.  She picked this old oriental chest i didn't
have listed.  She wanted it to look old with some blackish darkened 
wood.  To match all her pieces in her living area.



So we sanded it to down...


left some original finish on it in some places...


The stained it with different colors of stains...


then black waxed it...







She loved it!
I do too :)
Very Nice!!!
