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.

This traditional looking cherry nightstand had served it’s purpose but my customer now needed it to look a little more modern. No more dark, reddish stain. I updated it with a cream, soft white.

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.

I’m loving the legs on this vintage, wood Depression Era table. Not the routine, 4 leg, or pedestal style. Instead it has 6 legs. The table, more than likely, dates back to the early 30’s and is surprisingly good condition for a table of this age. The plan, at the moment, is to restain the top, but paint the base and skirt. There’s only 3 chairs at the moment but I’m going to start searching for a 4th, to complete the set.

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!

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!

I’ll be honest, this very rustic nightstand had some issues with it when I found it. The chalk paint finish on the legs felt, well…..chalky. The sides were starting to split a bit. And the top had some nail pops. In my world, none of those things are necessarily horrible. But there was definitely room for improvement!

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.
