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!

Isn’t this table unbelievable? I’m so in love with it. The awesome details (like the fluted legs), the size….and now it can be used as either an ottoman/coffee table, OR an upholstered bench. Wouldn’t this be great at the end of your bed?! The table was painted white and then antiqued with a gray glaze

Cane back chairs – Set of 4
January 17, 2015 by 2 Comments
Old school cane backed chairs. 2 side chairs and 2 arm chairs. This retro set goes with the Oval Dining Table.
I ended up painting & staining these chairs to match a cherry dining table that a customer of mine brought to me to refinish. We chose a creamy white paint for the skirt and legs on the table and used the same paint on the caning in the chairs. The remainder of the chairs, as well as the top of the table received a rich, Kona brown stain. The seats were reupholstered in a taupe & cream ikat print.
Vintage captain’s chair

This vintage mahogany captain’s chair was updated with Powdered Snow paint, and a sheer silver metallic glaze. The glaze adds just a hint of gray, to tie it in with the gray and white Braemore fabric. It would be perfect in front of your vanity table, your desk, or even sitting in the corner of your dining room.

Antique oak foyer table
July 3, 2013 by 1 Comment
Such a beautiful, gorgeously detailed piece of furniture. Just look at all those details, everywhere you look! I had an inspiration for the look of this piece….a beautiful foyer cabinet I had just seen.
The base got 4 coats of bright white semi-gloss paint, and the top was stripped down to it’s natural state. The entire piece got a coating of clear wax, to add extra durability. And last but not least, I left the original pulls because I love that wonderful patina. So pretty!
