Navy Italian Provincial Distressed.....


I can't wait for the new year!  I have tons of furniture in
my 2 huge rv stoarge warehouses.  I started to limit my custom orders.
I'm so blessed that we have been booked straight with custom orders
for the past 8 years.  Like every single week was an order.  We loved it!
But it got to be really stressful, I got into this business to 
relieve and help ,with my anxiety issues.  Painting helped and still does help me.
But I want to start painting my own pieces and put them out for sale.
I'm still going to be doing custom orders, just not to where I have no
room to breathe.  Hope that makes sense.
So I'm booked with custom orders till February, but after that
I'm cutting loose!  Then, hopefully if customers come to me and want me to 
paint something for them, I can say it'll be ready in a week..instead
of 6 months!  I've been working on cutting back on custom orders since March
of 2018.   It took this long to get some breathing room.
Ok, so to this beautiful Italian provincial below.


Had some damage on the top so we couldn't stain it
 like I initially wanted to.  Repaired that.


Then I painted it in a custom color mix.
General finishes coastal blue and queeenstown gray.
I thought coastal blue was too dark.
Loving this navy color.  Let's just hope I can 
make it again.


Distressed edges.  Painted the hardware in a custom
mix of bronze and a rusty color.
I think oil rubbed bronze is too dark sometimes.



Sealed in a flat sealer.



Priced at $510.
60”w/19”d/31.5”h
Cash only.
Delivery to 1st floor only for an additional $20.

Antique Buffet in Linen...




Client contacted me and wanted
to know if I had any buffets in stock.
I had this one for like a year in my fixer upper stock.
Showed it to her and she loved it.  
It needed some repair as the body was coming 
apart from the whole structure.
Then the right leg was chewed up.


Leg chewed up below.


I showed her this picture I found on Instagram
painted by Katie Co. which was the exact buffet.


She loved that look but wasn't sure.
She researched awhile and kept coming 
back to this design.  Which is what she decided on.
Top was stripped along with top 3 drawers.
Picture below.


We repaired the structure to make it solid again.
Then repaired the chewed foot to match the rest.
Picture below.




Body was painted in general finishes
linen and distressed edges.


Top stained and top 3 drawers stained in 
dark walnut.


Hardware painted in dark bronze.




Everything sealed in semi gloss sealer.



She wanted the inside left alone.




Looks amazing!  I love love love how beautiful
it came out!


Cabbage Rose Henry Link Chest...


I actually got this matching Henry Link 
set in a few months ago.
I painted the 6 drawer dresser in this color
which is Magnolia cabbage rose.
Distressed edges and painted hardware
gold.  The client who purchased the six 
drawer wanted to know if I had
any chest of drawers available to match.
Crazy right?!  I sent her this picture below.
She LOVED it and said to paint 
it exactly to match the six drawer.







Came out beautiful!
