Elegant Mahogany Dining Table

This item has been sold

This super elegant, solid mahogany dining table needed a whole new style. I accomplished that by adding a matte gray finish on the top, and a bright white on the legs and skirt.  Now it leans more towards a farmhouse chic style than a traditional style.  The chairs and bench were finished out to match.

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.

Solid Oak Vintage Dresser

unnamed
One of my customer’s was able to get her hands on this amazing, solid oak, vintage dresser and she knew a good thing when she saw it. All it needed was a fresh color and some new knobs! She settled on this beautiful grayish green color from Sherwin Williams called Oyster Bay. After adding some new crystal knobs, the piece was a knockout!

Whitewashed Cherry Table

IMG_0035
The only thing wrong with this table (if you don’t count the glitter glue and magic marker on the top), was the color. SO orangey-red! The cherry wood itself, with the noticeable grain, is absolutely gorgeous and I knew it would be a shame to cover it up if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. So that’s why I decided to strip it down to bare wood and give it a night, light, whitewashing. So Much Better!

Iron base end tables

This item has been sold image
There was absolutely nothing wrong with these solid, workhorse end tables. They’re solid wood (which is almost unheard of today!), and they had heavy duty iron bases. The rich espresso color was just feeling a bit dark and dated. So to liven things up a bit I painted them with a bright white paint then distressed the edges (as usual). But I mean, c’mon…..if I don’t distress them then the kids surely will. I’m just beating them to the punchline.

My customer asked that I update their 70s style end table with a satiny black finish. It had some cracks, and a crummy paint job, but nothing that wasn’t fixable.

Small maple table

This item has been soldimage
Beautiful, simple, modern…..that’s what I see when I look at this rectangular maple table. I can picture it in a breakfast area, a craft room, a playroom (for homework!!), or even as a desk. My customer requested a pale gray paint (just a tiny hint of it), and a dark top. The results were incredible. I painted her chairs to match and then reupholstered the seat cushions with a classic stripe, gray & white fabric.  It’s the perfect size for her small breakfast area!

Rock Maple Captain’s Chairs

This item has been soldIMG_9973
This was a major score. A set of 2 captain’s chairs in super heavy rock maple. Overall they’re in great shape. A few scratches and nicks….the downside was really the fabric. The foam beneath the fabric felt hard and crumbly to the touch. And when I finally removed the 2 layers of hideous fabric I discovered that the foam had completely disintegrated and turned to sand. Blech!
