Vintage 1970's Console Stand..

Before...
Was totally unloved and not taken care of at all....

The finish on it was thick and just horrible!


Gashes on top and stained.....


After.....
We repaired all the gashes, sanded it all down, I primed it then painted it with 2 coats of dark grey.  Waxed it 3 times.  Painted the handles gold...and here it is!  


I just love all the compartments and everything is hidden with all the doors.  All solid wood.....

Teal Green Dresser & Table Drawer


I should have taken a picture of this one, but forgot!  Anyways, the top drawer was off of the front so we had to repair that.  Then sanded it down and painted it teal green color I made.  Painted the handles gold.


To match the handles I decided to paint the sides gold also.


Did the same to this one sanded down then painted a teal green color I made and painted handles gold.


Also painted the sides gold to match!  Love them so:)

Chairs I painted for one of my customers.....


Before....



She wanted me to just paint them and she would add the fabric after.  So I painted and she did the fabric.  
We first sanded them to the bare wood, repaired some of the pieces that where loose, then added 3 coats of primer,  and 4 coats of white paint.  Her husband did the table same color.  

And After.......




Isn't it just beautiful!  I love the fabric she chose.  Thank you so much Laurie for sending me the after pictures with the fabric on them :)

Brutalist Teal Brown Dresser By Lane


Found this beauty and was like so in love with it!  Found out it was made by a designer that did some work for Lane Furniture in the 1960's or 70's.  I can't seem to find if it was designed by Paul Evans or Arron Donner though.  I fixed it up repaired the drawers and nicks. Sanded down the outer shell, stained it, then painted it brown, then stained it again.  Then waxed it.  


Then I painted the drawers teal and distressed abit, then dark waxed them.  I think it came out just Outrageous!   Truly truly truly outrageous!

Purple Rustic Dresser & Nitestand




This was a very blah dresser when I got it.  Formica top and missing handles.  But with 1 coat of primer and 4 coats of paint this is just gorgeous now!  I found these handles from another dresser painted them grey and sanded down the drawers then stained and waxed them.  The colors all put together are just WOW!


I also found a nitestand that matched the dresser and painted it so now it is a SET!

Rustic Telephone Mail Cabinet Stand



Found this one and had to have it!  I sanded then stained.  Put a wood back on it because it came without one.  Then added a cute knob I had.  I think a phone goes on top and then papers on the shelf area.  The mail can go in the slots.  Then you have a cabinet on bottom.
