Vintage Mahogany Coffee Table

This item has been sold IMG_7021
As soon as I saw this coffee table I knew I had to rescue it from it’s misery. It had definitely been well loved…..a weird paint finish…nail polish…sparkles. You name it, this coffee table had it. But I can see through all that. I see the pretty details….the brass casters…and the quality.  I sanded it all down smooth, gave it a creamy taupe paint job, added a hint of glaze, and finished it off with an espresso stain on the top.  Perfection!

Traditional Cherry bedroom set

This item has been sold IMG_3279
The challenge with this bedroom set (dresser & 2 nightstands), was to remove the dated orangey-red stain color and give it a warm brown tone. Nothing too dark, and nothing too light. Toss out the dated brass drop pulls and throw on some new oil rubbed bronze pulls and voila, a modern bedroom set that’ll last for years! I think we hit it out of the ballpark. [Read more…]

Pair of simple, pine nightstands

This item has been sold Simple pine nightstand 07
This cute little set of matching nightstands were brought to me by a customer who’s redoing her guest bedroom. They’re simple and understated and all they required was a little extra pop! I did that by painting the bases a bright white, staining the tops a custom mixed stain, to match the beige color in her new bedding (see below), and then adding some new bling, by way of some oil rubbed bronze & glass knobs. From blah, to beautiful!

Oh, this poor little coffee table. It’s definitely been through the mill…..a chewed off corner, nailpolish, scratches, you name it. But nothing some epoxy, wood filler and a little sanding can’t cure.

Mid Century Modern Dresser

This item has been soldMid Century Modern 4-drawer DresserYeah, it’s done. I was really getting excited as I worked on this because I had a picture of the finished piece in my head the whole time. And I’m happy to say that it turned out just as cute as I’d imagined. I can SO see this piece in a nursery, for storing diapers, wipes, etc. I can even picture it being used as a mini linen closet in an upstairs hallway. Or you can go the standard route and use it as a……dresser.  So many possibilities!

It has a beautiful, waxed finish, to protect it from all the scratches and dings, gorgeous oil rubbed bronze pulls, to add just the right amount of bling, and the sexy tapered legs have retained their natural finish, to complement the dark drawer pulls.
