Antique Rocking Chairs Custom Painted.....

This was a repeat client's rocking chairs she inherited

from her mother.  She wanted us to repair them 

and custom paint them.

This is the before of the smaller one.

It was missing the piece that connects the seat to the 

chair....so John made a new one....

we sanded them down and I primed it....

then painted it all white....

she wanted the edges distressed

only....

John repaired the split broken side bar...

they look identical don't they?

This is the before of the larger one....

It had a broken piece of the arm that

attached to the chair....

She wanted this one black and distressed on edges.....

so we sanded it down and I painted it black....

This was the part repaired that was broken....

Both completed and they look awesome!

Duncan Phyfe Dresser Painted and Glazed.....

I received an email from who was to be one

of our new clients and another wonderful person 

I've had the pleasure of meeting.  

She was here visiting here in Houston for a 

couple of days, she traveled from Tennessee where she resides.  

She really liked this dresser I had and my work. 

So we talked on the phone and relayed messages

back and forth like I do with all my clients.

She had sent me a picture of  a similar dresser she liked the color

it was painted.  So I tried to match it the closest I could.

She settled on General Finishes Milk Paint color Basil.

Then wanted the Van Dyke Glaze over that.

So here is the before.....

Now, general finishes says to lightly sand,but I like to strip

them down which we did.....repaired

all the missing veneer....

then I primed it all....

painted it all basil.....

she wanted the hardware kept original, which 

was a fantastic choice as it really adds to the aged feel....

added the glaze....

All finished!  I love the color and glaze together on this

Duncan Phyfe Dresser it makes it looks really old :)

Beautiful! 

French Country Cottage Chest....

It's been awhile since I posted.  I've been 

like really super busy with orders, pick ups, deliveries, 

and life.  So I will be posting 2 entries today.

Here we go, this was a furnished and custom

painted order for one of my cousins who loves my work.

She wanted this chest custom painted like

another dresser I had done, but with no distress.

So white with cream and dark bronze hardware.

Here is the before....

I sanded it all down and primed everything....

painted the shell all white....

then painted the drawers a cream color.....

then painted the hardware dark bronze....

I actually color matched the cream to Annie

Sloan old ochre....

All completed and looks beautiful!
