Italian Provincial In Distressed Black...




I didn’t like the top hardware on this really
beautiful italian provincial.
The handles I could work with.
I decided to paint it in general finishes 
lamp black.
Distressed edges.


Stripped the top and left it original.
I sealed the top and whole dresser in
poly flat sealer.



I added new flat black knobs to the top.
Had to reposition them because 
the older hardware was more higher. 
The original handles I painted matte black.



  
Distressed edges very little not too much.






SOLD!

French Provincial in Stained French Linen...


I love how beautiful this french dresser is.
The hardware is amazing.  Very sturdy and thick
with beautiful detail.  The style is has clean lines.
Not too curvy.
Before below.


It did need some repair on some scratches
in some areas.


I painted it in annie sloan french linen.
With some rubbed distress very lightly on
edges.  



Sealed the body in a matte wax.



I polished the handles and hardware very little.
I wanted to show some original natural patina.
Look at that hardware though?!


It has 8 drawers total.



I wanted to original wood in the design.
But was not feeling the stained top look
on this particular one.
I decided to stain refinish the middle area.
I stained it in dark walnut.  Then sealed 
that part in a flat poly.

Italian Provincial Chest in Evergreens....


Had this italian provincial style high dresser in my 
inventory up as is.  Customer wanted it, but painted.
Here is the before below.




Primed and repaired everything.
It was in good condition for as is.
But for painted, we needed to fill in dents.
Make sure the drawers didn’t rub
against each other once painted.


She wanted an olive or dark green color.
I gave her choices in colors and she decided on
Sherwin Williams Evergreens.
I loved that color as soon as I seen it.
So was hoping she’d pick it.



She wanted hardware painted in gold.














She loves it, it will be going in 
her newborns nursery ❤️
