Mint Teal Antique Dresser......


This antique dresser was not well kept at all.  We repaired 
the split wood pieces now secure and tight, the inside drawer bases had thinning 
damaged wood which we replaced with new wood.  Made sure everything 
was nice and secure before I painted it.  As we do with all our furniture,
either for sale as is or painted.
Before pictures below.  




I custom mixed annie sloan chalk paint to a nice 
minty teal color.



Kept a lot of the dents and splits in wood 
as I usually always seal them in for a 
smooth look.  With this though it was 
old and I think it goes good with the look.
It shows its age, I didn't want to take that away.


Painted the hardware gold.






Distressed edges.







Wow....
currently available for sale.  Message if interested.

Grey Dresser & Nightstand Set....


I painted this old dresser and nightstand set in a
chalk painted finish.  The color is a custom mix made from
annie sloan chalk paint.  Applied in a smooth thin no 
brush stroke finish.  
Here are the before pictures below.


I repaired the dresser drawer slides and the sides
 of the dresser as it was splitting.


Nightstand top had to be stripped.  The handle was missing on 
one of the drawers.  So I replaced it with some
vintage duncan phyfe handles I had.


I kept all the hardware original on the dresser.
I searched thru my hardware inventory to 
find the same color of the hardware on the dresser.



Distressed edges only.















In love.  Would look beautiful in a nursery or any room 
where space is a problem.

This was for a new client who wanted her patio

repair on loose rusted screws/bolts.
Before pictures below.



Here is it after we finished it.









Nice clean crisp white.  I did numerous coats...I mean alot.
Love how it looks!!

Navy Antique Buffet Antiqued....


I had this old antique buffet in my inventory for 
sometime and didn't list it.  I wanted to paint it in my own style 
and put it up for sale.  Since I had some spare time while 
John was stripping custom orders so I can paint 
them, I painted this one.  
Here is the before below.


I added some vintage hardware I had in my inventory.
Painted it in a custom mix navy blue with annie sloan
chalk paint.






Distressed edges and antiqued it.  Kept the vintage hardware 
I had put on in its original color.




I refinished the bottom front legs.



Cleaned up the inside cabinet area and waxed it.





Smooth no brush stroke finish.







Extremely happy with the outcome 😊💖👍
