Charcoal Gray Aged Dresser.....


I had this piece in my current as is unpainted
inventory for sale.  I pulled it and decided to custom 
paint it in my own color and design.  
Here is the before below. 


We filled in the top four knobs and added some extra 
holes on the bottom drawers.  Stripped it all down and filled 
in some veneer that had bubbled up.


I wanted to stain the drawers because of the beautiful 
wood  on drawers, but once stained it covered it all up.



So, I painted it using general finishes milk paint
in queenstown gray.  


Added some duncan phyfe handles.



Then aged it with some van dyke brown glaze.




Sealed the final coat in a satin finish.



Love the small removeable tray too!




I think it came out really nice :)

Chateau Finish Nightstands Set....


One of our previous clients contacted me and wanted these 
beautiful John Widdecomb italian provincial 
nightstands set we had in our inventory.
She wanted us to paint them in the chateau finish
we did for on a gorgeous italian provincial dresser
she ordered from us last year.
Here is the before of the nightstands set below.


We had to strip them of course.





Then I went to work on the painted process with
Annie Sloan chalk paint.
















Beautiful!  Here is the dresser below she ordered
from us and had us custom paint last year.


Her room looks gorgeous!

Ivory Desk....


Another previous client came back to us for our beautiful
custom painted work we do.  She wanted us to repair and 
paint this antique desk for her.  She's redoing her office space at home.
It had lots of scratches and to holes on the top.  
The top right drawer went all the way in also.


So John stripped it down, smooth sanded it, repaired the
drawer.


She wanted the knobs painted also so we stripped 
those all down.



He sealed in all the holes...





He sealed in all the scratches..









Then, I primed and painted it the custom
 light ivory she wanted.





Painted the knobs the same color.


Smooth soft finish.





Looks great!
