Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......

This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile. 

It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.  

We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....

but I pulled it off and painted it.

Here they are before.  UGLY!

Do not like those 4 set handles either.

It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)

Made by Lane...

I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...

I used Old Ochre.

I get some customers who ask if

 I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.

I primed all of it except the tops...

Then I hand painted it all....

distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..

darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...

Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...

.

I waxed everything else...

 Chalk paint is super thick!

I don't like that.  So I did my flat finish.

I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,

I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...

Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.

I did a aged look on the handles...

LOVE My handles I did!!!

Here they are completed!

Way better than before!

Coral French Provincial Dresser.....

This one needed some work done.  

Here is the before.

one of the drawer bottoms was busted out...

we fully repaired that....

repaired the 2 front feet they where worn down....

sanded it down completely....

primed it of course, then painted it coral....

painted the handles gold....

Fully completed!

Looks real cute :)

French Style Over Sized Nightstand....

This was a before picture we had of this 

over sized nightstand.  It is a french style kind.  

Has lot of detail, so I decided to bring that out.... 

sanded all down of course...

I painted the body grey, then 

I gilded it with gold on the details....

I aged the whole thing, body and drawers...

I added some gold gilding to the handles too...

painted the drawers a off white and aged them...

distressed all the edges....

This is the after....

I just really love how this turned out!

French Basque White Dresser......

I had this one for awhile up for sale.  If none of ya'll know...

I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.

I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time. 

Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint

to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.  

Here is the before....

we sanded and repaired...

sealed up the hole because those handles 

where wide and ugly...

repaired all parts that where chipped off....

I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...

I love all the different colors of wood

and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....

I really love this technique on the drawers!

kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...

I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....

love our flat finish, not thick at all

and super smooth....

I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...

has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...

we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...

or it can be removed and left like this...

I am really in love with this :)
