Campaign Nightstands in Black....


I post on my website my available pieces.
I have a Ready for your Home link and a Customizable link.
I posted these to my customizable link.  I give my website 
subscribers a 24 hr notice before I list on my 
social media platforms.
One of my return customers snatched these up for a 
customer order.  I knew these would go quick because their campaign
and nightstands!
She wanted these for her new home office.
Before below.

We removed the plinth and added L shaped metal legs 
I have in stock.  
Painted them black along with all the other hardware.
 

Painted the body in black.


I left the nails the original dark bronze because it looked so good like that.
Plus it would go with her new black desk.



We decided on all black, because of her other pieces 
she was putting in the office.



These look amazing all black!
Top coated in a flat sealer.




Love!!

Customer Order..Dorian Gray Italian Provincial Dresser


I started up customer orders on a case to case basis.
I had stopped for 10 months to get some of my 
own pieces out for sale.  Plus, started a new format on how I will be 
taking customer orders now too.

This was her husbands childhood dresser that he had
since he was 5 year sold!
They wanted it in Dorian Gray with a dark stained top.
Before above.  Had some veneer damage on one of the drawers and top 
corner side.


We repaired all the missing chipped veneer.  
Sanded it down.
Stripped the top.


Primed it.


Stained the top in Kona.  
It came out beautiful with all that grain showing.


Painted in Dorian Gray.
She wanted to keep the original hardware.
I think it was an excellent choice too.


Top coated everything in a satin sealer.



Looks amazing! Her husband was so happy with the outcome too!

Mid Century Modern Emphasis Buffet.....


  Broyhill made amazing mid century furniture back in the 70s.  
I just love the Broyhill mid century modern in the Emphasis line. 
 How the whole legs are built in...then sculpted all the way down...
gorgeous!

Most mid century modern have the screwed in base.  I mean love those too! 
These just have a design to them that has detail but not too much.

Here is the before below.  It didn't have the original wood sculpted 
handles.  Most where broken or totally gone.



We filled in the carved out wood from the original hardware.  
Then I painted the drawers black.  
Added new modern hardware in aged brass.
Then I added some pop to the cabinet area.
Matte black vine wallpaper with yellow birds.





Cleaned up the wood finish with some dark walnut stain.
Sealed everything in a semi gloss sealer.



SOLD!

Plank Top Buffet in Old Ochre...


One of my wonderful customers contacted me a few months ago.
 Her mother wanted to sell me some of her mothers furniture.
So my customers grandparents furniture.
We worked out a deal and loaded it all up.
This had a hutch that went on top.
Thinking of doing the hutch into a cabinet with some feet.
Anyway, here was the buffet part.  I actually had it up for 
sale as is, just to give it a chance before I tackled it.
It was 28" high below.  So kinda short.


I added some feet to the front and back.  


Then added some wood planks to the top.
Stained those in a custom stain mix.


Sealed in a flat poly.



I painted the body in 
Annie Sloan Old Ochre.


Distressed edges.



Added new updated knobs.
But kept the original top handles.


Left the inside original.
Shelves are adjustable.


Love how everything came out!!
Ahhhh!!  I love it!!


SOLD!
Made by Bernhardt.
61"w/15.5"d/33"h

Italian Provincial Dresser In Still Water...


One of my previous customers that purchased a
dresser from me last year, flips houses.
She bought a dresser and painted it herself.
This time she came to me needing 
a 80' wide dresser.  She was going to use it as 
a bathroom vanity also.  I had one in my inventory!
Yay!! Here is the before below.
She wanted me to paint it this time.  


Sanded it down.


Primed it.



She chose the color by Sherwin Williams
Still Water.  In a clean finish. 


Hardware she wanted a slight polish with some brass
showing.


She will be adding quartz counter top to it.







Looks amazing!

This is what she did to the other dresser she first purchased form me!
