Mid Century Modern Dresser Painted....

I wa so upset when I was posting this and 

realized I forgot to take a before!

It was sitting in my workshop for a couple of weeks 

and I just kept forgetting.

I was working on other pieces and things happen....

Moving on :)

It was just plain old wood before....

So I sanded it all down of course...

then I primed it....painted the body all black

did this wood finish on the drawers...

dovetail drawers...

I just love love love how this came out!

French Style Over Sized Nightstand....

This was a before picture we had of this 

over sized nightstand.  It is a french style kind.  

Has lot of detail, so I decided to bring that out.... 

sanded all down of course...

I painted the body grey, then 

I gilded it with gold on the details....

I aged the whole thing, body and drawers...

I added some gold gilding to the handles too...

painted the drawers a off white and aged them...

distressed all the edges....

This is the after....

I just really love how this turned out!

French Basque White Dresser......

I had this one for awhile up for sale.  If none of ya'll know...

I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.

I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time. 

Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint

to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.  

Here is the before....

we sanded and repaired...

sealed up the hole because those handles 

where wide and ugly...

repaired all parts that where chipped off....

I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...

I love all the different colors of wood

and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....

I really love this technique on the drawers!

kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...

I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....

love our flat finish, not thick at all

and super smooth....

I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...

has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...

we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...

or it can be removed and left like this...

I am really in love with this :)

Grey Antique Dresser Chest....

This chest was picked form my inventory by a client

who found me online and wanted me to 

paint it a grey.  She also wanted it lightly distressed

which means only on edges.

Then she bought her own knobs to add more 

appeal to it.

So here was the before.....

We repaired the side that was pulled apart...

sanded her down completely...

then painted her the grey....

the knobs make this look super beautiful!

I distressed on the edges to show a little age....

here is a close up of my distressing...

very fine and neat....

Here it is completed!

Just beautiful and so clean!
