French Provincial in Stained French Linen...


I love how beautiful this french dresser is.
The hardware is amazing.  Very sturdy and thick
with beautiful detail.  The style is has clean lines.
Not too curvy.
Before below.


It did need some repair on some scratches
in some areas.


I painted it in annie sloan french linen.
With some rubbed distress very lightly on
edges.  



Sealed the body in a matte wax.



I polished the handles and hardware very little.
I wanted to show some original natural patina.
Look at that hardware though?!


It has 8 drawers total.



I wanted to original wood in the design.
But was not feeling the stained top look
on this particular one.
I decided to stain refinish the middle area.
I stained it in dark walnut.  Then sealed 
that part in a flat poly.

Aubusson Blue Buffet Cabinet...


I love this buffet cabinet!  It's so beautiful!!
Here is the before below.  It has knocker pulls but most where
broken off.
So we improvised.  I wanted to keep the 
back plate and original knobs on the 
top drawers.


I painted it in Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue.
Distressed and antiqued.




I wanted the cabinet door hardware to look 
like a doorknob.






For the back plate we cut off the pull 
for the knocker and made a new hole.
I got those beautiful big knobs at hobby lobby.
Painted the hardware in dark bronze.


Smooth finish.





Priced at $425

Graphite Painted Piano.....


A client contacted me and wanted 
her piano painted.  It was very heavy so this was a 
custom job I had to do onsite in her home.
Here is the before below.  The top veneer had come off
from wear and age.
John repaired that part.


I painted the rest.  She wanted a color that would stand out 
in her home.  She already had a lot of grays in her home.
I suggested a distressed graphite with black wax finish.
I used Annie Sloan products.
Here is the graphite with no waxes below.



This is while I was distressing it.


On this picture below, the left is graphite without any
waxes.  The right is with just black wax.
I love both!


Here it is all complete after the black wax and distressing.


Then here it is in the spot where it's going to be.
She's still deciding on location of the piano in
her home.


It came out beautiful!

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!"
