Pine End Table

This item has been sold IMG_8047This little beauty didn’t need much.  It’s solid wood, and very sturdy.  But the orange stain really needed to go.  I updated it with a bright white (Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace), highlighted the details with gray glaze, and then lightly distressed the edges.  Now you don’t have to worry so much when your 4 year runs his toys into it over and over again.  He’ll be adding to the patina!

MCM Lane End Table/Nightstand

This item has been soldIMG_8485
I was a bit saddened to find that someone had painted this elegant little vintage Mid-Century Modern (MCM) end table. Which, coming from someone who paints everything, is HUGE! Such beautiful walnut (I’m assuming) all covered up with a horrible, cut rate paint job. According to the serial number, this piece dates to 1962. So, with a bit of elbow grease, I was able to strip off all the ivory paint so you could once again see the beautiful grain. Some gray stain modernized the piece and gave it more off an industrial/rustic edge. But you know I can’t leave well enough alone right? So I added a subtle sheen of metallic paint in the form of a stencil around the top edges. A little bit more gray stain on top of the paint and it softened the edges a bit more.
The bottom was painted in a beautiful seafoam blue. It’s soft enough that it could read as a neutral, or use it as a pop of color in your room.  A tiny bit of distressing was added to the edges just to give it a bit more dimension and texture.
What’s even better about this piece you ask? If you position it the wide way, it would make a fantastic night stand. Position it the narrower way and it’s an end table. I can totally see this sitting next to a bed! That bottom shelf is just calling out for a basket to hold all your stuff!

Duncan Phyfe table & 6 chairs

This item has been sold IMG_8575
Vintage Duncan Phyfe style mahogany pedestal table. This table was in relatively good condition when I found it, so all it needed was a little freshening up. I did this by stripping the top and giving it a rich, dark Kona stain, and painting the pedestals with a pale beige. I made the details pop out by adding a mocha glaze and distressing the edges just a tiny bit. Now this table is ready for all your family gatherings.  It includes a 12″ leaf so you can easily fit up to 8 people!

The matching set of 6 vintage chairs coordinate perfectly. They have also been updated with a richer stain, new foam and gorgeous yellow and cream fabric.  The set includes 1 captain’s chair with arms, and 5 side chairs.

Antique mahogany drop leaf table

This item has been sold IMG_7539
This cute little side table was screaming out for a modern update. The old look was right at home in your grandparent’s house. But the new, lighter color scheme will look perfect in any modern home. I added a pale taupe paint and whitewashed. The drawer pull was updated with glossy jet black paint.

Pottery Barn Dining Set

This item has been sold IMG_7713
I just found this (soon-to-be) amazing Pottery Barn table and chairs set. Yes, it’s seen better days, but by the time I’m done you won’t even recognize it anymore. The rush seat bases aren’t fixable, sadly, so the current plan is to make new seat bases and stain them, and paint the remainder of the chairs as well as the skirt and legs of the table. The tabletop will be stained to match the seat bases.

Bombay Foyer Table

This item has been sold Teal Foyer Table
I’m in love with this little entry foyer table, with it’s rope legs, and pineapple details. I chose Teal Lake for it, after using this color on a recent Custom Order and loving it!  I knew that some mocha glaze layered on top would really make the details stand out.  This would be perfect in your entry foyer, in a hallway or maybe even a nightstand in your guest bedroom.

Elegant Cherry Dining Table

So simple yet so pretty.  This delicate looking, cherry dining table received a rich, chocolatey stain on the top, and a fresh cream colored paint on the skirt and base.  And these funky 70s cane back chairs got an identical paint job to match!  Now they’re a match made in heaven!

Depression Era oak table

IMG_7347
This vintage, oak kitchen table has definitely been around the block a few times. The former owner thought it might be from the 1920s, and I suspect that’s correct because of the “Depression Era” style of the legs.
The veneer (which is typical for the period) is peeling off, and chipped, and something or someone, has been chewing on various parts. Once I patch up all the missing parts though, this table will be beautiful once again and hopefully it’ll be around for another 100+ years!

Whitewashed butcherblock table

This item has been sold IMG_7397This is a solid maple, butcher block style table.  I whitewashed it to give it a very cottage, beachey vibe.  The skirt and legs were warmed up with a very taupey gray paint.  Now it just needs a little sand underneath!
