AWOKE Beautifully renewed vintage furniture by waking them up and breathing new life into them.

Renewing furniture is a hobby for me as I work full-time as an Occupational Therapist in schools, in the Cochrane area. This hobby helps me relax and has turned into a fabulous creative outlet. I am not doing custom work at this time but do hope you enjoy the furniture renewals I take on in my spare time.

SOLD - Dark Green Faux Bamboo Dresser

This stunning faux bamboo dresser has been refinished in Fusion Mineral Paint’s Manor Green and has been topcoated for added durability and washability.

This dresser was a mess when I got her but now she is all dressed up with a deep and moody color, new gold hardware, and tropical-inspired drawer liner.

This piece would be amazing as a bedroom dresser, a dining room sideboard, a credenza in an office, or a showpiece in a front entrance (with a large mirror over it).

Measurements:
68” L x 20” d x 30” h.

Pick up in Cochrane. Will need a truck and 2 strong people to move it as it is heavy.

I couldn’t resist the shape of this little side table when I spotted it on Marketplace but little did I know I would discover beautiful elm wood underneath the old finish! Top sanded down to raw wood and then Cappuccino SFO applied followed by Natural SFO. Base painted in Chateau. I absolutely love the results!

Although in relatively good condition, this buffet was covered in “alligator skin” old shellac. I tried to smooth out as best I could by scraping and sanding (versus stripping). Primed with BIN clear shellac to prevent bleed through. Painted in Algonquin and details dry brushed with Raw Silk, I tried sanding the top but even though going slowly and gently, I blew through the veneer in a few places. So decided to do a faux wood look top instead with a base coat of Algonquin and then Cappuccino SFO brushed on. Hardware is original but cleaned.
I’m so happy with this piece - it is now going to be our new TV stand. 😊

This 2 piece dresser was a lot of work! I had to remove 2 layers of chipped and peeling veneer off the top and repair chips on the drawers and sides. Bondo and wood filler were definitely my friend on this project!

But I am beyond happy with how it turned out! And it is for me!

Painted in Fusion’s Paisley. Details were highlighted with clear glaze mixed with Midnight Blue. Fully top coated with General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in flat. Top drawer pulls are original but cleaned up. Other pulls are brand new. I have not used this brand of hardware before but I highly recommend Indian Shelf (I ordered them through Amazon) - fantastic quality for a good price.

Wish I had taken a before pic of the top. It was in such rough shape!

SOLD.

I don’t typically do custom work but I did this piece for a friend’s sister-in-law. Unbeknownst to us, it had a VERY durable factory finish on it. Hours and hours of sanding, painting, and starting over again because the paint wouldn’t stick. Finally finished it and am very happy with its transformation. Top of lower cabinet paint washed in Fusion’s Algonquin and the rest painted in Hazelwood. Everything topcoated several times for durability. What do you think?

NOT AVAILABLE.

Scrolling through Pinterest and then through Facebook Marketplace, I saw the most beautiful blue shelf. It was pricey but I was hit with inspiration. I found an old outdated piece with classic lines. It has been painted in custom color #35 Muted Turquoise (50/50 Azure and Renfrew Blue), and then topcoated. It is the perfect addition to my coastal style bedroom. I am beyond happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too. 😊
