This oak table had a very traditional orange tone.

The goal was to soften it into a modern Scandinavian look while still letting the natural grain shine through.

Subtle layers, neutral tones, and patience made all the difference.

A workstation I can set up in 2 seconds?! YES please.

This saved me so much time today in my refinishing workflow.

This pine dresser was a gift from a friend. The heavy brown paint wasn’t doing it any favors, so I sanded it back to bare wood and started fresh.
I created a custom stain + glaze for the top, matched the base to it, and painted with Fusion Mineral Paint ‘Cast Iron.’ The silver k***s got a gold makeover too.

Swipe to the last photo ➝ that’s the before. What do you think? Do you love a paint + stain combo, or would you have gone bold with all black?

Light tones may be everywhere, but this rich, moody finish proves that dark furniture still deserves the spotlight. 🖤

This beautiful heirloom belonged to my client’s mother-in-law — full of memories, but ready for a new chapter. She wanted something modern, bold, and timeless, and that’s exactly where we went.

I used General Finishes Gel Stain in Black — one of my favorite finishes for depth, drama, and that silky-smooth feel. The results speak for themselves. The before photo is near the end!

It’s always an honour to help a meaningful piece find new life in a modern home.

This shelving unit started as the top of an old China cabinet with glass doors, shelves, and a mirror. After removing the glass and hardware, I was ready to give it a whole new look with a beautiful olive paint. But then, disaster struck—I broke one of the glass doors, and replacing it would've cost me hundreds! 💸

Instead of scrapping the project, I embraced the challenge and turned it into an open-shelf design. I replaced the mirror with a faux wood wallpaper and added custom moulding and new legs to give it a completely fresh, modern vibe. Sometimes, the best designs come from unexpected setbacks!

Watch to the end to see the full transformation—and let me know what you think of this new look! 💬
