Chunky 70s End Table

image
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.

Thomasville Furniture Nesting Tables

This item has been sold image
This set of 3 nesting tables from Thomasville Furniture was still structurally sound when I found them. They tops had some blemishes and scratches, but I knew there was still a ton of life left in them. I actually couldn’t find any marks on them verifying that they were Thomasville but the family I bought them from assured me that’s where they purchased them from.

Vintage Serving Tray

image
I found this little gem at a yard sale. I’d been looking for a tray to use on an ottoman in my home, but I was having trouble finding one that I liked that had nice low sides. This one was perfect. Except, of course, for the condition that it was in. It had a dated finish and a few fairly bad cracks on the edges. All fixable of course! After cleaning it up and fixing the cracks I gave it a pale, gray blue paint job, then distressed the edges. Then I finished it off with some water-based sealer. Just because.

Set of 2, narrow cherry end tables. Each have 1 small drawer on the lower shelf. These nice petite tables are perfect for the family room or living room that are tight on space.

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!

Vintage Walnut 1-drawer End Table

This item has been soldimage
This solid walnut, vintage table was refinished in a bright white. The edges were given just a hint of distressing, to show off the corners and details, and we even kept the original pull because it was so cute. Just updated the color to an oil rubbed bronze.  Crazy, I know!

Oval Rustic Coffee Table

IMG_8036
This table was brought to me by a customer who wanted to update it from cream, to black. The finish was extremely rough and you could see lots of brush strokes. I stripped off 3 layers of paint and smoothed out the surface as much as possible, then coated it with a warm black paint. A little distressing along the edges helped give it that rustic, lived in look. I left a little bit of the old paint underneath so that it would show through on the distressed edges. Very shabby chic!
