Pedestal Table Converted into Coffee Table....


One of our past clients contacted me and wanted a 
50" diameter claw foot coffee table.
She knew they where hard to find, but I found a 
antique kitchen table exactly like what she 
wanted.   She loved it!
Here it is below.
It was 48" diameter close enough!


We shorten it to make it the height of a coffee table.
Sanded everything down.
Shown below.



She wanted the top in a raw wood look with some
white mixed in the grain.  Since you can't seal raw wood
without the orange coming through I decided to do 
a white stained look to minimize the orange once I 
sealed in a flat sealer.
It needed to be sealed with a water based sealer
as it's a coffee table.



The body part she wanted general finishes
antique white.  


No distressing on this one.




She loved it and it came out amazing!

French Antique White Dresser Wardrobe Closet...


One of our previous clients came back to 
us asking if we had any french chest of drawers.
I showed her this one I had below.
Was in good condition just had a chipped foot.
Before below.



She seen I had done a french dress up armoire 
for a previous client a few years ago.
Well she wanted this one like that for her daughter.
Here it is below after we configured it to just that.
All stripped and ready for me to prime and paint.


Repaired and the chipped foot to make it 
look original again. That took about 2 days alone.


She wanted the top stained in dark walnut.
Look at that beautiful wood grain!


Stained in dark walnut.


She wanted the body in antique white by general 
finishes milk paint.


Distressed edges.  Hardware painted in gold.



Sealed everything in a semi gloss finish.


Looks amazing!  It'll be going in her room with 
the coral french dresser we found and 
custom painted for her daughter ( who was in her tummy then)
5 years ago.

Here it is below..

Can't wait for her to send me pictures of them all 
in the room!!

Mid Century Dresser in French Linen...


I've had this really cool mid century half cabinet/dresser
combo for some time now.  I didn't list it as is either.
Most of my inventory isn't in any condition to 
sell as is.  This particular one had a few imperfections.
Before below. 





I decided to paint it in Annie Sloan 
french linen.  It's one of my favorite colors in her line.
I've done a few pieces for clients in this color last year.


I distressed and antiqued it to give that awesome 
aged look/feel to it. 



Hardware I used some dark bronze color to darken 
them some but not too much.


Chalk paint finishes I do are really smooth
and don't have that chalk painted feel to it.








Priced at $420
50"w/19"d/32"h
Cash only, message if interested.
Delivery available for an additional fee of $20
to 1st floor only.

Dresser, Desk, and Chair Refinished In Espresso...


Our past clients who is amazing like all 
our past clients are, especially when they keep
coming back to us!
Anyways, she wanted her desk, chair, and dresser
refinished in a dark stain to match 
her bookshelf she had. 
Here are the before pictures below.




Stripped them all.  
We seen they where all pressed
board except the chair of course.
But they all had a thin veneer overlay.  
So John sanded them down just enough to 
not get to the pressed board.
They then where able to be stained!
She was very happy for that as I told her to make a plan b 
just in case we couldn't stain them.
Here are the after pictures below.


I stained them all in espresso and sealed them 
all in a flat finish.





Painted the knobs in dark bronze.







They all came out so beautiful!!!
