Italian Provincial In Simply White...


New client picked this beautiful italian provincial
dresser from our inventory.  She placed her order back in august.
We're always booked so my turnaround time is mostly always
2-4 months.  Most of our clients that wait that long
have been looking for that professional smooth finish.
Which is why I guess they wait for us. Others are referrals from 
our other clients that have seen our pieces 
up close and see our work. We really appreciate all of them too.
She wanted this in a eggshell white to match the crib
and decor in her nursery.
Here is the before below.


After we sealed in all the scratches and dents because she
asked for that when she came to see it before placing her order.
We sanded, primed, and painted it.


Done in simply white by Benjamin Moore.




Shes going to add hardware later when she 
finds the perfect set.







We had a hard time trying to get that perfect sheen 
to match her nursery decor & crib.
BUT!  I tried something new and made it work.  
Sealed in a eggshell finish.













She really liked it!  Said it matched perfectly. 😅

Updated Vintage Dresser to Modern Style...


New client inherited her late grandmothers dresser
and wanted it updated for her new little bundle of joy.
She will be due very soon and put this order in 3 months ago.
I was booked like we usually are and she waited patiently. 
Here is the before below.


She purchased new hardware and wanted the middle
cabinet door off.  


She wanted the top stained to match her crib frame
and the body painted a clean no distress white.
We used Benjamin Moore Ultra White.


Amazing what a professional paint job
and some redesigning can do.





She also wanted the old hinge holes sealed in which we did.



Stained top and sealed in a semi gloss water
based sealer.





Everything done in a no brush stroke finish
as always.


Our finish is smooth to the touch and applied 
properly.





Here is the handles she picked.  We only had one at the time.



Looks amazing!




Here it is in her nursery after we delivered it.
She was "over the moon obsessed with it".
Her words 😍

Aged Red Kitchen Table....


New client found me on my blog.  Contacted me
from my blog as most do, she wanted a quote on this 
antique table she found.
The table needed some gluing and stripping 
on the top because the current finish was
bubbling up.
Before below.


She decided on brick red from General Finishes Milk Paint.
Basically she wanted it in a aged red finish.
Below is it painted in just brick red no sealing yet.

.

Then started distressing.


Then glazed with van dyke brown and sealed 
in a satin water based sealer.







All done in a no brush stroke finish.




Here it is below in her kitchen.




She loved it!  Looks really beautiful!
