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!

 

Italian Provincial In Dorian Gray....

Had this Italian Provincial highboy for 3 years.  The dresser I sold as is.

This one had missing hardware.  So, I couldn't list it as is.  

I finally have time to get to my project pieces now that I've 

discontinued my customer orders. Yay!!

Before above and below.

Stripped it down and sealed in the old hardware holes.

We made new holes for the new hardware.

After I primed it, I painted it in Dorian Gray.

I purchased new modern hardware in aged bronze.

I had to get smaller hardware for the top

 4 drawers and larger for the bottom 2 drawers.

Coin shelf is removable.

SOLD!

Before, during, and after!

Love the new modern updated look!

 

Light Gray Italian Provincial Dresser...

I scored this italian provincial dresser made by Century

off the internet!  Before below.

Had some damage to veneer, plus the legs where loose.

The legs are not screwed in so we had to 

really reinforce them.  Now there tight and sturdy.

I sanded it down, primed it, and painted it in 

Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray.

I had a customers who we used this color 

for on for her order a few years ago.

I fell in love with it!

Thank you Brooke 😘

I changed out the top knobs hardware for some 

of my favorite I had in my inventory.

The bottom handles I kept original but took off

the floral back ends.  

I did a clean finish on this one.

No distressing.  This finish is more

time consuming, because of the sanding down.

Then priming, then painting.  Which you have to do when 

painting with latex.  Which I've become a pro

at since this is basically what the majority

of my customers asked for on their orders.

Which has been since 2012.

The finish I do holds up also.  I've had customers from 2013

that their pieces still look amazing.

This one came out so beautiful though!  

Love it...I mean I know I say that

a lot but just look at it?!

Ha Ha 😄

Medium Grey Large Nightstands....

New client who had been following me for some time

wanted us to custom paint these large

nightstands she had purchased off Craigslist.

She wanted the old hardware holes sealed in 

and painted in a medium grey.

Here is the before for both below. 

We stripped them and sealed in the older 

hardware holes.

I primed them both.

Then I painted them the medium grey she chose.

I used ben moore in dorian grey.

She loved them!

She'll be adding the hardware herself soon.
