Custom Order Gold Dresser Buffet ....

This was a furnished piece we had that our new buyer Sara wanted.  She wanted us to paint it in a color form Ralph Lauren called Golden Candlesticks from there metallic collection.  I wasn't to sure on it but, it turned out pretty spectacular I think.  We polished up the handles and they turned out very nice.  She also has a couple other pieces she wants from me to be painted also those will be up soon.  I'm still working on them :)

So this is before...


This is after....

sanded it down...


put 2 coats of primer....and 3 coats of paint....added some wax for protection...


It came out just so awesome!

Custom Order For New Buyer Amy

These where the before pictures, we had the mirror replaced, repaired the drawer inside to make it more sturdy.  Sanded it down......



sanded this one down....


She wanted it painted like one of my previous ones.  She did want the handles painted teal, but they looked so good once we polished them up.  


Then we decided on painting the headboard teal to bring out the teal on the dresser..........


And here they both are!  


Looks super cute!!

Grey French Provincial Dresser with Pink Handles


This was a before picture I was sanding it down getting ready to prime it.  My Buddy was looking at me sitting on his bench, yes HIS bench :)  My husband repaired 2 of the dovetail drawers they where missing the back pieces.  



I decided to paint it grey for the shell and I sanded the drawers down but left some cream paint on them, then stained and waxed the drawers.  Then painted the handles pink.


I used some light brown wax to bring out the wood and darken it abit.......


I love the way it came out!

Grey Custom Order Set Dresser Desk Headboard


This was a custom order for one of my repeat buyers, she picked out these that I had, and said she wanted them painted like one of my dressers I had done before.  I actually had to look for a headboard for her and she liked this one I found.  For the dresser I forgot to take pictures of the before...



The desk was painted a black lacquer and needed repair, so we fixed the damaged parts and sanded them all down, primed them...  


And here they are!!!  Grey with black handles :)


Looks super awesome!!!!!

Emerald Green Buffet


This was a old buffet we found and it was a mess.  We sanded it down real good and repaired some parts that where coming undone.  Fixed the inside pull out tray and added some handles I had cause it didn't have any.......so I decided to paint it a color that would really be a piece to bring out any room.......




Emerald Green !!!!


I also waxed it with some green tinted wax to bring out the color abit more and add some age to it.....


stained the inside drawers and cabinets......


solid heavy drawers......


the pull out tray......stained that also.....


Looks real good doesn't it?  I think so :)
