Silver Antique Dining Table...


Past client that purchased a painted white dresser from 
us which we delivered to Austin for them. 
She seen my blog loved my work,
asked if we could repair & repaint their large 
antique dining table.
Here is the before below.
The table was so large that it sagged
in the middle.  The leaves it had where only meant to 
be in for a short time then taken out.
Although, she wanted them in forever.
John repaired that part.
Before below.


It had 7 layers of different paint under it.
When it was 1st painted it wasn't stripped.
So, the original paint, plus the what they painted over it with
black paint the silver paint then glazes...
you get the picture.





We stripped it which took about 2 to 3 days.
It was messy.






Primed it.



She previously wanted silver with champagne
detail.  I used modern masters metallic paint 
in silver & champagne.
I did one leg and showed her the picture.



She didn't like it, I thought it looked good.  
It wasn't what she pictured so she went with all silver.


Here it is all silver.



The repair John did to stabilize the middle part of the 
table.  Very sturdy now.



Sealed in a water based semi gloss sealer
for protection.
















Looks so amazing!!  Matches really well with her decor.

French Chest Converted to Dress Up Armoire........

 One of our awesome repeat clients, texted me
a picture of a chest converted into a dress up armoire.
I told her I've done one like that before like 
3 years ago and showed it to her.  (You can view it in 
one of my previous post from the year 2013.)
She said we where awesome and asked if we had 
any chests in our inventory.
So I showed her 3 I had and she picked this one.
She wanted it Simply White by Ben Moore with
silver handles.  Then a wood closet rod to match it.
This is it in one whole picture....

Here is the before...


the feet where chipped off and missing...


John got to work on the building process...


added a wood back since the other was 
that thick cardboard...


stripped it all down....


added wood sides and bottom....


repaired the feet and reshaped them...


John does such an awesome job....




can't even tell it was chipped off....
stone hard structure now will not chip off like the wood did....
I primed it then painted it all white....



primed and painted the wood rod and wood holders....


John installed it with the right measurements
so the hangers can be removed without
a problem...





stripped, primed, painted, and sealed the hardware....




our smooth flat thin finish....







It is so super cute!  Her little girl is going to love it!
Thank you Brooke for thinking of us!
