Stripped Raw Wood French Provincial Dresser....

I’m really into this raw wood finish.  

Had this old antique french dresser for 

some time in my for sale as is inventory.

Before below.

First, I was going to paint it.  Then I thought about it..

and decided I can paint tons of pieces.

Only certain pieces look good in the raw look.

So we stripped it all down, every nook and cranny.

Look at all those patterns.

Painted the beautiful french handles 

in a matte black.

Sealed everything in a matte sprayed sealer.

Available, message if interested.

Dresser, Desk, and Chair Refinished In Espresso...

Our past clients who is amazing like all 

our past clients are, especially when they keep

coming back to us!

Anyways, she wanted her desk, chair, and dresser

refinished in a dark stain to match 

her bookshelf she had. 

Here are the before pictures below.

Stripped them all.  

We seen they where all pressed

board except the chair of course.

But they all had a thin veneer overlay.  

So John sanded them down just enough to 

not get to the pressed board.

They then where able to be stained!

She was very happy for that as I told her to make a plan b 

just in case we couldn't stain them.

Here are the after pictures below.

I stained them all in espresso and sealed them 

all in a flat finish.

Painted the knobs in dark bronze.

They all came out so beautiful!!!

Raw Natural Look French Dresser....

This is the before below on a french dresser made by Davis Furniture Co.  

I was initially going to paint it but because we strip 

most of our pieces before we paint them.

But once it was stripped and sanded down I just couldn't paint

it.  The wood was to beautiful.  It wasn't a veneer overlay 

either.  This was solid carved wood.  I did replace that hideous hardware though. 

Stripped and sealed in the old handle holes.

I didn't stain it, just sealed it with a water based sealer.

Painted the hardware iron steel which is a matte 

slightly dark gray with some metallic in it.

This piece was sold a few days ago.

.  I finished it at the beginning of 

last month, but didn't have time to post on my blog.  

Italian Provincial White Distressed Dresser....

Painted this beautiful 1966 italian provincial dresser

made by drexel in a soft white and slight distress on edges.

Then added new hardware and painted those in a beautiful 

gold.  Here is the before below.

Missing hardware, chips of veneer everywhere, drawers

slide where broken.

We repaired everything, sealed in the old hardware holes, made new holes

 and then stripped the dresser. 

Primed it and then painted it in Benjamin Moore

latex paint color Simply White.  

All in a beautiful sprayed finish using our Piece Of Candy touch.

Available for purchase.

Thanks for looking 😊
