Beautiful Ornate Buffet In Gray...


The last piece of furniture for the huge order we've 
been working on the last few weeks.  We had to wait a week till Harvey 
left houston to do this.  That was scary.  The rain just didn't stop.
Constant, more hard downpours than anything.
We didn't get any flooding in our home or storage units.
Although, a lot of my clients did.  Some lost only the first floor.
Other's lost everything.  Pieces we had custom painted for them
where ruined and had to be thrown out.  As long as they are
all ok because items can be repaired and replaced.
Still it's heartbreaking and a stressful tiring time for them.
We have seen the destruction going thru the neighbor
hoods.  There are no words.  All the furniture, appliances, mattresses,
lamps, sofas, bedding, clothes, sheetrock, everything on the front
lawns.  Mother nature is very unpredictable, life is very
unpredictable.  But seeing all the amazing people in our city
of Houston, Tx is beautiful.  Helping each other, making it somewhat 
easier for people who lost so much.  Lifting that burden some
to relieve that anxiety of what was lost.  God bless them all.  


Here is the before on this beautiful buffet my client 
purchased from her neighbor that was moving and couldn't 
take it with her.




You need a key to open all doors.




We sanded it all down and then I primed it all.





Then I painted it in Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray.
She initially wanted metallic silver from Ralph Lauren,
but they no longer make paint.































It came out so clean and beautiful.  So glad she went with one
of the colors I recomended!

Antique Claw Foot Desk Painted Coral.......

One of my repeat clients asked me for a desk.
She needed one to use for a changing table in
her downstairs living room.  
I didn't have this beautiful antique claw foot listed, because it 
needed repair. It didn't have a top, was loose, and peeling veneer.
 I showed it to her and she 
loved it.  It was the perfect size and look she wanted.



she wanted it stained with a mixture of wood color....
so after repairing we sanded it all down....


did our technique of the mixed stained wood...






she wanted a coral color and some knobs, so we decided 
on these knobs which are so beautiful...




repaired all the peeling veneer....


love those knobs....



put a top on it and painted it coral...



she wanted a mixture of different wood colors
and
a coral threw out the desk...





She loved it!  I think it came out really beautiful!
