The cutest little dresser you ever did see! This piece took me 6 hours to fully sand back because of the beautiful detailing but it was well worth it ✨ I used the tan-wash technique which counteracted the orange in the wood and highlighted it’s stunning grain.

It has been coated in a satin polyurethane for durability and sheen. This piece is solid and made extremely well with dovetail joins and routed detailing.

I painted the k***s and feet in a semi-gloss cream colour to add contrast to the piece that would be a perfect statement in any home 🌿

Thank you so much Libby for this piece it turned out beautifully 😄

This dresser is currently for sale, if you’re interested in purchasing please send me a DM

Parting ways with this one is going to be hard :(
I am beyond excited to show you all this piece! I haven't done anything fully sanded back in such a long time but this one just proves how the hard work really pays off!

This dresser has been fully sanded back and paint-washed with a neutral tone paint to create a 'vintage' or 'well-loved' finish. It has been coated in clear varnish in a satin finish to add a sheen and durability. The original pulls were cleaned and polished to reveal the beautiful brass underneath all that grime. The interiors and sides of the drawers have been sprayed with furniture wax.

It is available! I wish I could keep her but I have nowhere to put it :( If you're interested in purchasing feel free to send me a dm or email :)

The cutest little set you ever did see! This tall boy and side table were left to fend for themselves on the side of the road :(. Who knew some TLC, paint and stain could turn them into a beautiful pair that would be perfect in any home.

I wasn’t a fan of the original base of these pieces, so I got to work with my hammer and chisel to remove it and replace it with a bottom that was a bit sleeker and simpler. The new base makes them look much less dated.

The base of the piece including the cane webbing has been painted in Capsule Collection in the colour ‘Woodsmoke’ which has an elegant eggshell finish. The top and new k***s are coated in Stain and Varnish in Liming White for a washed effect on the exposed wood. There is definitely some character in this piece as I wasn’t able to make it 100% perfect but that’s what I love about refinished furniture; the life it’s lived.

What was once on the side of the road, ready to be taken to the tip, is now a show-stopping pair that would make a staple piece in your home.
This tallboy and bedside table are available for purchase, if you are interested, please message or email me. Local pickup Capalaba, Queensland or can deliver within the area for an additional fee.
Dimensions:
Side table - 445L x 390W x 550H
Tallboy - 843L x 370W x 830H

Starting off the year with something STUNNING
This entertainment unit has been refinished and revived with high quality primer, paint, and stain to give it a brand-new life. It’s sleek lines and simple detailing allows it to be tailored to a variety of design styles,

This piece was originally coated in a dark red stain and veneer was chipping from almost every part of it. Any major imperfections have been repaired. Pine moulding was added to the top of this unit as well as on the drawer fronts to create the ‘ribbed’ style which is very popular right now.

Any exposed wood has been coated in Stain and Varnish in ‘Liming White’. The rest was painted with Capsule Collection in ‘Half Woodsmoke’ which has a beautiful eggshell finish. The interior shelving has been painted and inside the drawers/ sides of the drawers have been waxed for a clean look. The whole piece has been coated in a spray furniture wax for added durability.

This piece would make a stunning addition to any home and is currently available for purchase. If you wish to purchase or have any questions, feel free to DM or email me for more information.

I made some big mistakes with this one 😂😂 super happy with the finished product but my first attempt at refinishing this piece was not it (scroll along to see the pictures).

I originally sanded it all back and put a coat of poly on it, and of course it went orange. I had to sand it back again, white wash the top and painted the bottom to create this ‘dipped’ look. It tested my patience but it turned out so cute and would be a perfect statement piece! ✨🦋

Turned this boring piece into a beautiful traditional sideboard using some pine moulding and brass hardware ✨ I love trying new things so I picked up some moulding from and got to work with my mitre saw! I painted this piece in in Newport Blue which always goes so well with brass hardware 🦋 This piece is currently FOR SALE; message or email me if you’re interested.

When I saw this tv cabinet I just knew what I had to do with it! A nursery wardrobe of course! The bones for this project were perfect 🙌🏻 I painted it in a burnt orange, changed the colour of the rattan and added a gold rail to hang the cute little clothes from 🥺 I sprayed the original hinges and screw caps and added new hardware. I’m so impressed with how this one turned out and can’t wait to see it in it’s new home. This piece is currently available 🎉 Swipe for before picture.

I transformed this tall boy with the idea that it would look so beautiful in a nursery 😍 I sanded back the top and white washed it with Liming White. I’ve painted it using in French Green ✨ This piece is currently available so if you’re interested send me a DM. Swipe for the before picture 🌿

Well this one was all over the place 😂 I originally wanted to do a full wooden piece, that turned into baby blue retro and then that turned into this, I would call it glam/ art deco? I added moulding to the draw fronts to add a bit of character to this pretty plain piece ✨ I used in Riverstone, I will forever been obsessed with this colour 😍 Who voted for the darker colour?? Let me know what you all think 🌿

A simple paint job on this piece! Swipe along for the before pictures ✨ I painted this piece in Capsule Collection in Riverstone and added these matte black handles to finish it off. I was so excited to use this colour again! There was some water damage on this piece that I wasn’t able to fix completely but the use of a dark colour definitely helped to disguise these imperfections 🌿
