French Basque White Dresser......

I had this one for awhile up for sale.  If none of ya'll know...
I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.
I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time. 
Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint
to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.  
Here is the before....


we sanded and repaired...


sealed up the hole because those handles 
where wide and ugly...


repaired all parts that where chipped off....


I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...


I love all the different colors of wood
and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....


I really love this technique on the drawers!
kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...





I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....



love our flat finish, not thick at all
and super smooth....


I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...


has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...


we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...


or it can be removed and left like this...





I am really in love with this :)

Grey Antique Dresser Chest....

This chest was picked form my inventory by a client
who found me online and wanted me to 
paint it a grey.  She also wanted it lightly distressed
which means only on edges.
Then she bought her own knobs to add more 
appeal to it.
So here was the before.....


We repaired the side that was pulled apart...
sanded her down completely...


then painted her the grey....


the knobs make this look super beautiful!


I distressed on the edges to show a little age....





here is a close up of my distressing...


very fine and neat....



Here it is completed!
Just beautiful and so clean!

Metallic Silver French Provincial Dresser....

This was a furnished and custom painted 
french provincial dresser painted for 
a client who wanted it in her nursery. This was back in October
that we painted it.  Although, she didn't want me to post it on my
blog or facebook till she unveiled the room on her baby shower. 
She wanted it a metallic silver everywhere even handles.

So this was before...
damaged veneer, old factory paint, missing middle knobs,....



here it is after we primed and painted it....


we sealed in mostly all scratches and major dents...


sanded to a smooth finish...


the handles where primed also....








I love my camera phone it takes awesome close up's
in the right lighting :)


The knobs I found went perfect with the dresser!



Our finish is so awesome!
Look at that!
That's what we call a professional flat finish....




Here it is completed after we touched it :)





Here it is in her nursery....
it looks so beautiful!
