Plank Top Buffet in Old Ochre...


One of my wonderful customers contacted me a few months ago.
 Her mother wanted to sell me some of her mothers furniture.
So my customers grandparents furniture.
We worked out a deal and loaded it all up.
This had a hutch that went on top.
Thinking of doing the hutch into a cabinet with some feet.
Anyway, here was the buffet part.  I actually had it up for 
sale as is, just to give it a chance before I tackled it.
It was 28" high below.  So kinda short.


I added some feet to the front and back.  


Then added some wood planks to the top.
Stained those in a custom stain mix.


Sealed in a flat poly.



I painted the body in 
Annie Sloan Old Ochre.


Distressed edges.



Added new updated knobs.
But kept the original top handles.


Left the inside original.
Shelves are adjustable.


Love how everything came out!!
Ahhhh!!  I love it!!


SOLD!
Made by Bernhardt.
61"w/15.5"d/33"h

Italian Provincial Dresser In Still Water...


One of my previous customers that purchased a
dresser from me last year, flips houses.
She bought a dresser and painted it herself.
This time she came to me needing 
a 80' wide dresser.  She was going to use it as 
a bathroom vanity also.  I had one in my inventory!
Yay!! Here is the before below.
She wanted me to paint it this time.  


Sanded it down.


Primed it.



She chose the color by Sherwin Williams
Still Water.  In a clean finish. 


Hardware she wanted a slight polish with some brass
showing.


She will be adding quartz counter top to it.







Looks amazing!

This is what she did to the other dresser she first purchased form me!

Italian Provincial In Distressed Black...




I didn’t like the top hardware on this really
beautiful italian provincial.
The handles I could work with.
I decided to paint it in general finishes 
lamp black.
Distressed edges.


Stripped the top and left it original.
I sealed the top and whole dresser in
poly flat sealer.



I added new flat black knobs to the top.
Had to reposition them because 
the older hardware was more higher. 
The original handles I painted matte black.



  
Distressed edges very little not too much.






SOLD!

French Provincial in Stained French Linen...


I love how beautiful this french dresser is.
The hardware is amazing.  Very sturdy and thick
with beautiful detail.  The style is has clean lines.
Not too curvy.
Before below.


It did need some repair on some scratches
in some areas.


I painted it in annie sloan french linen.
With some rubbed distress very lightly on
edges.  



Sealed the body in a matte wax.



I polished the handles and hardware very little.
I wanted to show some original natural patina.
Look at that hardware though?!


It has 8 drawers total.



I wanted to original wood in the design.
But was not feeling the stained top look
on this particular one.
I decided to stain refinish the middle area.
I stained it in dark walnut.  Then sealed 
that part in a flat poly.
