This dresser was done for a client, who had seen a similar piece I had done to sell. She had wanted to buy the original one I had done and it had already sold- so I used the same finishes to recreate the look for this piece.

When I work on a piece I usually have a vision of what colors I’d like to use, how I feel the piece would be “best dressed”.. This piece says to me, classy gentleman’s dresser. The top and drawers were stained with General Finishes Mahogany and Cherry to give it just the right color. The casing of the dresser was than painted with Graphite Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and waxed to seal it. The drawers were lined in this sliver paper to give it just a fresh new look. The hardware was cleaned to give it it’s original shine. So very handsome this piece is!

This little table was a lot of work, but one of my favorite pieces.  First, let me say that one of the things I enjoy the most is working with good quality furniture. This small drop down table was solid wood, with beautiful legs and perfect for any nook!

I started by painting the entire piece with General Finishes Somerset Gold. Then I traced a stencil of the pattern I wanted on the table top. The stencil area was then painted with Lamp Black Milk Paint.. Then the entire piece was painted with Lamp Black and then sanded back to show some of the Somerset Gold. It was actually a few layers of Lamp Black, sanded back several times until I got the look I wanted.

I love this piece so much, I may have to do another like it!

It’s she Glamorous?!?!!!! This beauty was that 70’s brown.. and there was no reason to give her a second look… BUT, she is beautifully made! With curves and details and she was just waiting to shine!!! This is the first piece I ever did using metallics- I really wanted to give this piece that old school glamour look, think Hollywood, black ties and martinis!

She was painted in General Finishes Snow White Milk Paint, and then glazed with Argentine Pearl… and what a stunner she turned out to be!
