Antique Italian Provincial Buffet...


We got this rare italian provincial antique buffet
like 3 years ago and it needed extensive repair.
It was pulled apart as you can see below.
It looks to be from the early 1900s.


We added new back and bottom.




Here it is below after we repaired it.


I primed it then painted it in Sherwin Williams alabaster
but color matched it to Benjamin Moore paint.
It's a off white very beautiful neutral color I think.




Painted the bottom caps on legs dark bronze.




Distressed edges.












Stained the interior drawers.






Added new hardware and painted it dark bronze.

54"w/22.5"d/38"h
With back height is 43"5 total.

Modern Style Desk Painted White...


I had this desk for sometime now.
I painted this shell polar ice by Behr.
Then refinished the drawers.
Added some Duncan Phyfe handles
because it had those old Chippendale pulls.


The back is exposed so drawers are interchangeable
on either side.





Distressed edges.





Love the design of this very unique.

Mid Century Modern In Light Gray...


Second custom piece we did for this new client.
She is just the sweetest person!  Anyway she wanted
us to paint her mid century modern buffet.
Here is the before below.




We sanded it down as you can see below.


She chose Grayish by Sherwin Williams.
I color matched it with Benjamin Moore because
it's my favorite latex paint to use.


After I primed it I painted it in grayish.


Hardware painted in gold.




Then she wanted a semi gloss sheen.
So after I painted I sealed in semi gloss sealer.



She didn't want the inside painted.



Looks so chic!  Clean look and very beautiful 💞

Pedestal Table Converted into Coffee Table....


One of our past clients contacted me and wanted a 
50" diameter claw foot coffee table.
She knew they where hard to find, but I found a 
antique kitchen table exactly like what she 
wanted.   She loved it!
Here it is below.
It was 48" diameter close enough!


We shorten it to make it the height of a coffee table.
Sanded everything down.
Shown below.



She wanted the top in a raw wood look with some
white mixed in the grain.  Since you can't seal raw wood
without the orange coming through I decided to do 
a white stained look to minimize the orange once I 
sealed in a flat sealer.
It needed to be sealed with a water based sealer
as it's a coffee table.



The body part she wanted general finishes
antique white.  


No distressing on this one.




She loved it and it came out amazing!
