I haven’t been posting on here much. Still working, but truthfully, social media has felt so overwhelming to me lately. I truly don’t know how those who do it for a living, do it. Or maybe it’s just me as I haven’t been feeling super inspired or creative lately. I’m in a slump for sure. The world feels heavy, and it feels like my algorithms are only showing me heavy things so I’ve sort of muted my socials for a bit.

So today to help get me back into it, I’ve decided to share with y’all a project I was truly so thankful to be asked to help with!

•••••••

Several months back I was asked by Shar over at if I was interested in donating my skills to her Annual Mother’s Day Makeover Project. My response - immediately, yes!! If you’re not familiar with Shar or this incredibly thoughtful annual project of hers, please go check her out!

Jolene was this years chosen Mother after countless nominations. She tragically lost her husband and now finds herself raising her beautiful children without him.

was a sponsor, and Shar and I had a great time shopping and walked out with a hiboy dresser, 2 smaller nightstands (2 oak stools), and we lucked out by finding a floor lamp and mirror as well. I got to work on making these pieces beautiful for Jolene’s bedroom and I think it all fit so well with Shar’s vision for the space! Pro 📸-

What an absolute beauty 😍

This large Welsh pine cabinet might just be a favorite of mine! While it was always a beautiful piece, it needed some love and attention to bring it back to life.

While it may not look like much has changed, this pie safe needed a lot of love. The finish literally came off with tape. So after a good clean, I gave it a full sanding. One of the drawer corners was chipped off, so I rebuilt it - it’s as good as new now. The doors and sides are finished plywood and there was a lot of bubbling unfortunately, so I fixed it as much as it would let me. Once ready for stain, I went over it with 2 coats of dark walnut, 3 coats of a toner as it was pretty uneven, and finished it off with a few coats or polyurethane. The inside got a wood conditioning treatment, and I lined the drawers with a pretty wallpaper.

The goal here - make it look good, but make it look original!

This project is one fine example of that it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B. I was originally asked to strip it all down, and while I gave it my very best, the finish wouldn’t budge…like, at all. I tried 4 different chemical st*****rs, acetone, sanding, carbide scraper…..nothing worked, and I’m still stumped! So we eventually moved on to painting it.

The vision - mimic an old painted antique, making it look weathered and worn.

After giving it a vigorous sanding, I used a clear shellac primer so that the paint had better adhesion to the substrate. I hand painted it all and rubbed back some areas where it might have naturally distressed over time, as it gives it more of a ‘it’s looked this way for decades’ appearance. My client didn’t want a matte sheen, so we went with a satin topcoat. All original hardware was re-used.

So now I must know, did I pull it off?

*AI was used as this cabinet is so dang tall, it towered higher than my staging wall!

Still over here waiting on specific measurements needed to build this old wash stand up in height, but it’s come a long way so far since it was dropped off. This client will be using it as a bathroom vanity in a new build, and a Calcutta marble integrated countertop and sink will be installed on site. I’m so excited to see how this project turns out!

Larger dresser is still for sale!

Posting this as I feel this photo shows the wood tone so much better than my original post did due to poor lighting - it looked washed out.

I gave this set the love it was so desperately in need of. Its original finish was very dated, not to mention failing in many areas, and had those batwing hardware pulls. The drawers didn’t operate smoothly as they should either. That’s all been fixed.

I stripped away and sanded off all the old finish, giving it a new lighter, yet warm, wood tone. The broken drawer guides were all replaced allowing the drawers to slide in and out with ease. And lastly, new matte black k***s and pulls that compliment both the style of the furniture but accentuate the wood tone.

*Swipe to the end to see how these looked before their makeover*

I think this set would make amazing kids room furniture! Or perhaps in a guest bedroom?

While I am open to splitting the set up, preference will be given to a buyer interested in both!
