Shabby Chic with alittle Steampunk Vanity or Entry Table



I found this vanity, the mirror was a total loss, cracked and broken, so I replaced it with another mirror I had.  Rebuilt the back with some extra wood pieces I had and one even had that pretty design on it already.

It even had the original handles still!


Distressed everything,....heavy waxed the white parts.....



 Painted the doors and back pieces dark grey, painted the handles copper, even the mirror painted it copper to bring out the handles, then added some copper color to the wood decor.





Look at the hideaway in the right drawer.  We added a cover for it, it is a piece of a fan blade, so cool!




I just love this piece, it was supposed to be a quick one for us, but goodness it ended up being ALOT of work.  I guess that is why it looks so beautiful to me:)  I see a mixture of age along with some updated beauty.....

Bassett Cabinet Dresser


This was before I tried to sell it but nobody wanted it looking like this.......



And After.....



Painted it a majestic blue color I thought it needed a color that would bring out the beauty in it.   



Also painted the shelf inside...


Stained the outer trim and black waxed it....


Found some handles and polished them up. put some gold trim around the doors ad left the oriental decor it was just so pretty to paint over.....I think it came out just fantastic!

stained the top and protected it with light brown wax.....


and painted the handles grey...


I just think it came out really cute!

Charcoal Grey and Hot Pink Dresser




I really love this one!  Sanded it down and repaired some little imperfections.  Painted it charcoal grey and hot pink.  Then painted the handles a gold brass color.  It is also on wood wheels which is awesome so it can be rolled around!

Repurposed Drawers made into Shelf




Made into a shelf stand from dresser drawers we had laying around.    Stained the shelf and painted the front drawers bright teal green and then added some light brown wax.  Super cool!  I was thinking could be used in kitchen for veggies, fruits, or a side pantry.  For restroom to hold towels, etc.

Dresser Converted Into Kids Armoire Dress up Closet

Okay, so one of my previous buyers asked if i could do this project for her something she seen on Pinterest.  It was a old dresser or tv cabinet converted into a Armoire for kids.  So I had some dressers with no drawers and some with missing ones.  She picked this one.  



So I sanded it, added some boards to stabilize it and added a shelf.   Covered up some holes to make it for knobs as it had handles.  


She wanted it painted white,  with lavender knobs (the knobs are pretty flowers).  She is going to fabric the inside and add a rod in the middle.  


I just LOVE IT!  Really good idea Laurie.  Thank you!

Consider H Willett Dresser with a updated new look....

This was before when we got it the 3rd drawer was messed up as you can see and the paint job was not the best nor was the color....



So after sanding it down to the wood and repairing the drawer, also repairing other small details.  I looked at it and thought....what color does she need to be?  She is big and beautiful so she needs a color that would make her stand out but not too much. 

 So I decided on one of my colors that I love GREEN!  Then I added some handles and knobs to make her look even more gorgeous!



Then I added a very slightly aged look to it with some light brown wax.  Not to much just enough.


She is very solid heavy wood and very roomy.  I think she looks much better now.....
