Vintage Maple Dresser in Gray...


Painted this in a custom mix of old ochre and graphite
with annie sloan chalk paint on the body.
Here is the before below.  I changed out the hardware.
It was missing a few pulls and couldn't find them online.


I added new modern black knobs.


Stripped the top and stained it in flagstone which is a
natural color with a tad bit of beige and gray in it.


Then sealed the top in high performance flat top coat.



Sealed the body in wax and kept the finish in a 
clean no distressed look.









Available!
19"d/52"w/33.5"h

Antique Aged Gray Dresser.....


I got this antique dresser along with another
one in the same size.  Sold the other as is.
I decided to paint this one.
Before below.


Top was loose, so we had to remove 
it to make it more stable.
Now it's on there super tight and the hole piece
is extremely structurally solid.


Removed the old hardware because it 
was missing some wooden knobs.




Stripped the top and restained it in a 
custom mix.  Then sealed it in a 
semi gloss sealer.


Painted the body in a custom mix of annie sloan
chalk paint.  I mixed graphite and coco.
Don't know how much of each so I probably will 
not ever get this exact color again.




Distressed and antiqued the body.



I had these cool antique knobs in my inventory
and they where perfect for the look I was going for!





Looks amazing!  I love it!




Priced at $385.
44"w/35"h/23"d

Graphite Mid Century Desk, Updated Nightstand...


Client purchased this mcm dresser below from us
that I had painted in my own design and put up for sale.


Then she picked this mcm desk/chair set from
my inventory and wanted me to paint
it in the similar design I had done the dresser.
Before below.


She wanted a nightstand I didn't have one,
so she found one on her own.
Picture of before below.


Desk/chair sanded. 




 I suggested I paint stain the top drawers
and all of the chair.
Then paint the rest in the annie sloan graphite.


Hardware painted gold.



I showed her some mcm knobs I had in my inventory to 
replace the floral hardware on the nightstand.
She loved the idea, so we replaced them.
Looks totally different.
She suggested we stain just the top
drawer and the sides.





I also told her I had some gray velvet fabric we could add
to the chair that matched the color graphite very well.
She was like "Your killing me, your so awesome!!"











All sealed in a water base sealer.





Here they are in her daughters room.
Wow right?!




Love this look!
