Antique Coral Gold Dresser.....

This was a furnished and custom order.
We had a new client who found us online 
and
picked this dresser from our inventory.
She wanted it painted coral with gold handles.
She was in love with that combo.
So here it was before....


As you can see in the above pick , 
if not I took a close up.....
one of the drawers was chipped off....


so John started the repair process...
he takes his time so there is 
no crater holes...


sanded it down perfectly....
makes it really smooth...


even the top and back parts....


then sanded the whole thing...




then John repaired the side which was split apart form
the dresser...


reinforced the inside as this is an antique....


added another new support for the middle....


then sanded it down completely,



this had to be stripped the original finish was just too thick...
after that we primed it all even the handles....


here is the part that was split, don't even notice it....


John does excellent repair work....
he repairs it to last a lifetime!


I think he repairs it better than when they 1st built it!



this was the drawer that was clipped off....




top view of the drawer that was clipped off...



painted the handles gold.....



we prime them first....


then paint them.....


smooth top!



Excellent finish!
So flat so smooth, I love that!


after priming it all I painted it coral....


numerous coats of coral....


It's sooo pretty!!!!


Perfect changing table as that is what she is using it for :)


I love it so much!!!
She did also!

Custom Painted Clients Kitchen Set.....



A client that found me online asked me to
redo her table and buffet set.
She was moving in a new house and wanted 
a different look.
She decided on black with the wood showing 
to make it look aged.

This is after we sanded it down to prepare the painting process...
we took everything apart.
Cabinets, screws, hinges, glass, mirrors, metal parts on legs, etc....


These where the chairs before....


This is the table set after we painting and distressed....
she has the glass top that goes on the 
table base...


these are the close ups of the table and chairs...
we actually took the whole table base
apart to paint it....


she will be adding the glass piece
to the table base....


here is the buffet I primed all the weaved parts....


painted the inside also...


distressed....


the sun makes the color look off...








the hutch....


she wanted me to remove the mirrors 
that where in the back....



then paint the back wood panels silver 
with black glaze....










Here it is completed all she needs is the new fabric on the chair pads :)

Looks so much better and updated!
Love it!!!

Red and White Dining Table Set With Bench....


Well to start off, we had this table for 
along time.  It is a really awesome table.  I love the 
detailed legs and the pull out side leaves on each side.
This piece I actually did all on my own.
Absolutely no help from my partner/husband.
He is working on a huge custom order at the moment.
Anyways, I always see all his techniques in repairing and sanding .
So I used all of them on this one.
Here is was before,





I sanded it and stained it
with 3 different colors of stain.
Then added 3 coats of poly.


Stripped the bottom part of the table completely....
then primed and painted it white....


Sanded down the chairs and painted them red...
love how you can still see all the 
dark wood! 










Now the bench my husband/partner did put that together.
Some things I just don't want to do or even learn to do!

We had 2 Jenny Lind spindle twin bed whole
frame sets.  One was complete and the other was not,
plus it was missing some spindles.
This is how it looked just minus some spindles, slats,
and rails.



Here is the awesome bench he made!
I love it so much!!!


Sanded it down and painted it red also.
It has the same technique with the
 wood showing threw the red paint.


I just love this set!
