Duncan Phyfe Chest on Chest...


New client picked this from our inventory.
She wanted a chest of drawers and I showed
her a few I had in stock not listed
in my inventory album.  I'm just so busy with painting
and orders I don't have time to take photos 
of everything I have.  I try to get a few in a week.
Here is the before of this beautiful
duncan phyfe chest on chest.


She wanted a white distressed look with 
some refinished wood incorporated
in the piece to match her grandmothers
chest she had already in her guest room.


Sanded, primed and painted everything.
Used ben moore ultra white in semi gloss.


She wanted my thoughts on which part to 
refinish.  I decided on the top two drawers.


Hardware kept original and it's beautiful!







Came out so beautiful...


She loved it as you can see in the post above :)

Duncan Tallboy Two Tone....


Client we've had from 2013 wanted us to find her 
another duncan phyfe tallboy to custom paint for her.
Here is the before now.  Needed some work. 


We repaired all missing loose veneer and the chipped 
legs.



Sanded it all down.



Chipped foot repaired.


Missing chipped leaf repaired.


Stained body in ebony and waxed in a 
high quality black wax.






Painted handles in glossy black.




Painted drawers in restoration hardware paint
butter cream.




Beautiful and she loved it!

All the other pieces we did for her.




This one was painted just like the one we just finished for her.
She wanted them to match.

Stormy Blue Duncan Phyfe Dresser.......


I had this beautiful duncan phyfe dresser for about 
3 months in my inventory not listed as available.
I have quite a few like that in my inventory that are
not listed.  Some need repair and some need stripping.
This particular one needed some repair.  
After John repaired it I just went ahead and painted it 
in my own color design.


I went for a stormy blue color with some gray tints
in it.  I custom made this color from annie sloan
chalk paint.


Aged it but didn't distress it.  I didn't think the look 
I was going for would look good distressed.  


My smooth flat finish.






I also painted and aged the hardware.














Loving this piece.
