Country dining set

This item has been sold

This 5-piece dining set had seen better days. Lots of daily use had taken a toll. Not to mention the colors were feeling a bit dated. My customer wanted to use it in her dining room and knew she wanted a white/gray combo but didn’t know exactly how to incorporate that. Our solution? To lighten it up and change the color scheme. The top and the 4 chairs were painted gray. The table skirt and pedestal went white.  We used a cool gray that complimented the darker gray on her walls.

Coffee & End Table Set

This item has been sold IMG_0410
This set is solid wood, which is SO hard to find nowadays. I painted it with a super pale gray that has a hint of blue in it. Then lightly distressed the edges and added a little bit of gray glaze pinstriping. It’s pale enough that it can be used like a neutral.

Vintage Jacobean Dining Set

IMG_0059
This unbelievable Jacobean, oak dining table set had been my customer’s family for decades. It’s constructed of solid oak and meant to last several generations. But after my customer’s first unsuccessful try at staining it gray, she brought it to me and explained her vision. No more dark blue-gray. It needed to be a soft, warm, taupe-gray. so that it would blend in with her elegant dining room features. I ended up mixing a paint wash of the same paint color we used on the base, and used it to “stain” the table top. It was the perfect solution!

Thomasville Furniture Nesting Tables

This item has been sold image
This set of 3 nesting tables from Thomasville Furniture was still structurally sound when I found them. They tops had some blemishes and scratches, but I knew there was still a ton of life left in them. I actually couldn’t find any marks on them verifying that they were Thomasville but the family I bought them from assured me that’s where they purchased them from.

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…]

Maple coffee & end table set

This item has been sold IMG_7170
Gorgeous, solid wood coffee table and end table set. Really pretty details on the legs. They started with a horrible orangey polyurethaned finish, but I transformed them with a pale greenish blue paint from Behr called Frozen Pond.  The tops got a dark walnut stain topped with polycrylic for durability.
