Restoration Hardware Part 2....

This was for a repeat client who we had

furnished and painted a dresser for last year.

You can search my post for that one.

Just type restoration hardware in the search box.

Anyways, she had asked whenever I come across

a nightstand in the same style

to let her know.  So, I got one in a year later.

Contacted her and she said she wanted it.

She asked for us to paint it exactly like the 

dresser we had done for her.

Here is the before...

damaged on side...

Here is the dresser we did for her last year...

So I went to work and here it is after I 

finished...

This was the damaged side, can't even tell!

How awesome is John?

Pretty awesome I think ;) 

His repairs are Fantastic! 

My paint job isn't to shabby either!

Here it fully completed :)

All she needs is the knobs....

Drexel Heritage Basque French Revamped!

Well I had painted it before like this

and put it up for sale.

Then I had painted some end tables in 

annie sloan's old ochre.

I really like the color, sooo

I painted the from drawers that color.

Left the white I had painted previously 

on the shell.

 Here was the way I painted it before.

I had did a unique wood finish on the drawers....

Here is how it turned out after I painted the drawers old ochre.

I did my flat finish on the chalk paint...

I don't like how thick the chalk paint is

out of the can.

The flat finish I did on the chalk paint worked

it's really smooth and flat!

Made by Drexel Heritage.

We had made a wood cover for the top 

middle drawer.

I did my aged finish on the handles...

I just love this look on ornate hardware...

I think I did excellent on aging them!

Looks beautiful both ways, but I like this way better :)

Chalk Painted Queen Anne End Tables Set.......

This was a end table or nightstands set I had for awhile. 

It had a piece of wood chipped off as shown in picture.  

We repaired it and put it up for sale as is....

but I pulled it off and painted it.

Here they are before.  UGLY!

Do not like those 4 set handles either.

It is dovetailed drawers and solid wood at that :)

Made by Lane...

I decided to paint it with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...

I used Old Ochre.

I get some customers who ask if

 I do chalk paint. So I did this one to show my work in chalk paint.

I primed all of it except the tops...

Then I hand painted it all....

distressed the parts that would naturally age threw time..

darkened the creases on legs and drawers to give a aged look...

Stained the tops and added polycrylic to protect it...

.

I waxed everything else...

 Chalk paint is super thick!

I don't like that.  So I did my flat finish.

I sealed up all those hole in the drawers,

I didn't like those four handles on each drawer...

Then I added 2 french handles on each drawer.

I did a aged look on the handles...

LOVE My handles I did!!!

Here they are completed!

Way better than before!

Shabby Chic Purple Highboy Chest.....

This was a custom order piece that a previous 

customer dropped off. She wanted me to repair a broken leg 

and fix the drawers where they wouldn't go all the way to the back.

She wanted it a certain purple color then 

distressed with white showing.

This is a picture of it after we repaired

all she wanted us to repair.

Plus we sanded it down.

The leg that was repaired...

Primed it white.....

then painted it purple...

distressed it all over to make it 

look aged or shabby...

added back all the hardware....

She really loved it and so do I :)
