Duck Egg Blue French Dresser...


Past client contacted me and wanted a french
dresser for her daughter.  I had this one in my workshop 
for a few months.
She loved it and picked annie sloan 
duck egg blue with a distressed finish.
Before below.
Was spray painted from previous owner.
Wasn't stripped either before as you can 
see the scratch marks I made to see
how I was going to strip it.  



We stripped it all and made new holes
for the hardware I had in my inventory.
This one didn't come with french hardware.


Painted it.



Distressed edges only.



Painted the new hardware.








Oh my gosh it came out so beautiful!
I love it!  When we delivered it her little girl
was saying "it's so pretty, thank you!"


French Linen Desk/Dresser....


Referral client had this really beautiful desk/dresser
piece.  She picked french linen from annie sloan.
Here is the before below.



Took it all apart to get a good clean finish.


I antiqued and distressed it.


I also added some new knobs to update it.







Painted the side drawers also.


Painted everything on the inside.












She really liked how it came out and it 
went really well in her home.

Italian Provincial Rescued...


Found this italian provincial dresser and it was painted 
very badly.  I've had this for about 3 years in my 
inventory.  An interior designer Stacey Hutchins Green
that goes by "Green with Envy Interiors"
was designing a room for her client and 
picked this dresser.
She wanted it painted in a gray blue color.
I suggested Hale Navy.
She picked the semi gloss finish.
Also she picked the hardware.


We stripped it down and it took forever!



Repaired all the dents and scratches 
the best we could because it had numerous ones.


Made new holes for the handles.


Primed.



Then painted it in the hale navy.





She also wanted the drawers painted 
the same color inside and outside.





Looks amazing!!
