This end table was already adorable. But my customer just wanted to make it blend with her other furnishings a bit better. The stain color was making it stand out like a sore thumb. So all it needed was a bit of gray paint. She chose a warm light gray. The piece already had some great distressing and dents so we just highlighted those, to keep that farmhouse chic style!

Country dining set
March 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment
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.

Small pine nightstand
May 29, 2016 by Leave a Comment
This little nightstand is perfect for rooms that are short on space, like a child’s room or guest bedroom. It would even be perfect as a little extra storage in a bathroom! My customer needed it to fit in a very tight space in a guest bedroom but the original/dated finish just wasn’t working any more.

Country Farm Table

My customer’s table was a great size for her breakfast nook, but the table had some deep scratches across the top, and the leaf was a completely different color. I filled the scratches, and then color matched it to her existing dining chairs.

Vintage Jacobean Dining Set
February 26, 2016 by Leave a Comment
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!

Beach House Chic Dining Table

This table was brought to me by a customer who owned a beach house rental. It wasn’t in the worst shape ever, but it needed a little sprucing up. The problem was, it had to be renter friendly since it was going to take a beating. She chose this warm, pale gray, which is PERFECT for a beach house rental, and then I distressed the edges just a bit. That way, if the renters started beating it up, no one would know!

This amazing piece is a family heirloom. But one, unfortunately, that looked so dated my customer had no place in her home that that she wanted to display it. The solution? A pale gray blue paint, with distressed edges, and covered with a dry brushed glaze to make it look aged.
