Mid Century Modern Painted....

Had this dresser for some time now. I'd say a few years?

It wasn't taken care of, I knew it would have to be painted.

Those top stains were horrible.

So, we stripped it down.

Stains didn't go away. I knew they wouldn't.

Repaired some chips and loose veneer.

Primed.

I decided to paint it in black bamboo.

Then I added new champagne gold modern knobs.

Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.

Stained the bottom legs in dark walnut.

SOLD!

Italian Provincial In Dorian Gray....

Had this Italian Provincial highboy for 3 years. The dresser I sold as is.

This one had missing hardware. So, I couldn't list it as is.

I finally have time to get to my project pieces now that I've

discontinued my customer orders. Yay!!

Before above and below.

Stripped it down and sealed in the old hardware holes.

We made new holes for the new hardware.

After I primed it, I painted it in Dorian Gray.

I purchased new modern hardware in aged bronze.

I had to get smaller hardware for the top

4 drawers and larger for the bottom 2 drawers.

Coin shelf is removable.

SOLD!

Black Antique Aged China Cabinet.......

I had this antique china cabinet made by Rockford Furniture in

my inventory since the beginning of the year. I listed it in the very good as is condition.

As you can see above. It did't sell as is.

So I removed the glass cabinet doors on the front.

Keeping the doors and will be painting them soon.

Sealed in the punch locks on the bottom and top that locked the door in place.

I painted it in black and distressed the edges.

Sealed in a sprayed flat sealer.

Kept hardware original.

Shelves are all removable. Top doesn't detach though, it's all one piece.

SOLD!

Flat Latex Finish/Smooth Chalk Paint Finish...

We use latex paint for our high end finishes. When applied correctly is the best on furniture. We've been custom painting with it since 2010. Our clients keep coming back and referring us! We prefer to use Benjamin Moore latex paint/Fusion Mineral Paint/Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I can use other paints but my favorite is Ben Moore Latex/Fusion Mineral Paint/General Finishes Milk Paint/Annie Sloan. Our finish is very durable with either our latex/mineral paint/milk paint/chalk paint. Our latex has a very fine flat thin finish. With mineral /milk paint it is thin, just not as thin as our latex. Our chalk is the least thin but still thin. We use a hvlp spray gun on our primers and latex paints. On mineral paints/milk/ chalk paints, it will depend on the look that is asked for. It can be hand painted or sprayed. Some of our chalk finishes are wax sealed. If the client asked for a water based sealer finish we use the hvlp gun also. No splotches, splatters, or paint drips either. We do prime our pieces depending on the type of finish you want. If you click on my pictures you can see our flat finish. Paint is included in my pricing for custom orders so keep that in mind when asking for a quote. We go above and beyond for our smooth flat finish. Most of our client orders are latex finish, our clientele loves our flat, smooth, thin professional latex finishes.
