Grey Headboard Bench.....


This full size headboard was part of a bedroom set we had.
It had no footboard so we decided to make it into 
a bench.
Here is the before below.



We have lots of furniture part in our inventory, so 
I pulled out some beautiful ornate legs to add to the
front of the bench for legs.


I told John what I wanted and he went to work.
This is it below fully built before I painted it.




I stained the seat and sealed it with polycrylic.




I painted the rest a medium grey with annie sloan
chalk paint.







Antiqued it with no distress.


Painted the back also, just in case.



Extremely happy with the turnout 💓💓!!!
Currently available for sale.

Graphite Darkest Grey Dresser and Chest Set......


We found this beautiful dresser set a month ago and I 
decided to paint in my own design instead of listing it as is.
Here are the befores below.



I changed out the hardware for french handles
and kept the knobs on the chest.


I decided to go dark on these pieces.
I did graphite in annie sloan chalk paint
on everything even the hardware.


Smooth flat finish.








I didn't distress it just let the distress happen naturally
when I waxed it.  


So there is hardly any distress.














Loving how good it turned out!! BEAUTIFUL 💖😍
Has been sold.

French Provincial Light Grey Dresser.....


One of our repeat clients wanted us to paint her french 
provincial dresser in a light grey. It needed minor repair 
like dents, chipped veneer, and a new wood back.
She wanted the hardware kept original just cleaned up some,
but to keep the patina look.



We stripped most of it down and sanded the rest down.



I primed and painted in a smooth clean finish.
The primer I matched to almost the same color
as the paint.





She wanted no distress.









Smooth clean finish.
















She was really happy with the outcome,  I love this look!
