Ornate Mirror Frame ......


This was a furnished and custom order done for our new buyer :)  She came by to see a buffet she wanted from me and wanted me to paint it then she seen this mirror frame.  I held onto this for awhile!  I loved it and was going to keep it, but I decided to put it up for sale.  It was spray painted really bad too!  So we sanded it down and I primed it and painted it gold.......




Here it is....






I just love it!  Shoulda kept it :( 
 I would've put it up on my wall just like this with fencing in the back no mirror.

Custom Light Grey with Brushed Gold Ornate End Table...

This was furnished and custom painted for one of our previous buyers, she wanted this to she wanted this to match her living room which had a area carpet in it with grey in it.  I suggested to paint it grey and i could customize a grey for her to match her carpet.  She loved that idea.  Then we decided to add some brushed gold over the ornate parts to bring out the gold in her framed mirror she has also in her living room. 

So we sanded, primed, and added multilpe coats of grey...



I brushed the gold...


John really smoothes out the pieces before I paint them....


Look at that smooth top!


I added alot of gold to really make the design come out...
plus I painted the knobs gold..


added some brushed gold to the hinges also...


Wow it looks awesome!



This is a really beautiful piece!

Heather Grey Dresser Missing Drawer Made Into Dresser with Shelves



This dresser we had for quite some time now and didn't list it because it was missing a drawer.  We needed some room, so we decided to work on it.  It is a very nice piece of solid wood.  So we got started on it over the weekend....we took out the top drawer and used it for missing parts on the other drawers.



Completely took off the handles I just couldn't see them on this dresser they where hideous!  Then John repaired the cracks, took out the boards that where not needed, cut some wood for the shelves, sealed up the holes where the handles where, sanded it down....


Then I primed it with multiple times with primer....stained the top with different colors of stains...
customized a color and made a heather grey...


I wanted to show more wood than just on top so I stained the shelves also...


Painted the end of the shelf lip heather grey also so it wouldn't look seperated..


We where looking for some handles to go with it and couldn't find any, then we seen these towel racks,
that was it once we seen those the hunt was over!!!
They look awesome!


Here it is all finished!!!


I love how the wood parts accent the handles...


It's so beautiful :)  Wowzers, I love it!

Black & Silver Serpent French Dresser Nightstand Set


This was furnished and custom painted for our new buyer Shelly.  She loved my work and picked her pieces from my album, then made an appointment to view them and decide on colors.  She picked black with brushed silver.  


This was alot of work on the dresser, as you can see it was very cosmetically damaged.  John did a FANTASTIC job on the repairs!  He sanded and I primed...then I added mutilple coats of black on all pieces..


The nightstand needed no repair just sanded and primed...


We had to head out and get some handles, because the orginals where gone on most drawers...
I painted them black like the dresser then brushed silver...


This is the drawer that had one of the huge chunks of veneer and wood missing,
can't even tell...


painted the mirror black then brushed silver over the outer popped out parts...


the top looks gorgous so smooth and flat...as all our pieces do :)


Did the same for the nightstand...black with brushed silver...


smooth and flat texture :)


This is the set without the mirror....


and here it is complete once our work has been finished!


I LOVE IT!!!   She did also:)

Black and Gold Media Stand

Kristina is one of our repeat buyers, we have furnished and custom painted a total of 5 pieces for her.  This was her 5th!  Thank you so much Kristina :)  She wanted this black with brushed gold over the popped out parts.   We sanded it down, primed it, and added multiple coats of black paint...



We had to replace the inside bottom shelf it was cardboard, we replaced it with wood and stained it...


Brushed the gold....




remember those scratches on the top, we filled those in .... 


And here it is all done!!!!


Just gorgous :)


I love my pieces once they are done!
 Many people cannot see how beautiful they look
 when they see it unfinished, but once we refinish it (with the right technique of course ) 
they look awesome!  Just look at my before & after album :)
