Another project complete. Finished my first bed frame - out of walnut wood. I was not able to take final staged pictures but that is ok.

For the last 3 months I’ve been working with a new customer that has kept me busy. Aside from my full-time job, these 4 projects have been my focus. By tomorrow I will have two of them 100% complete. These are some sneak peaks, I will post their final pictures later this week. Happy Sunday!

I wanted to share my BEST and BIGGEST before and after picture….

It may have taken me longer than my norm but I am still so very proud of this masterpiece and honored that my clients selected me to build them this large mudroom bench and storage cabinet! ❤️

Upcoming sneak peek! This is almost finished. The inside shelves need to be sanded, the new bottom shelf needs to be nailed down in its place, and the new door needs the glass and hinges 😍 such a labor of love but it is looking so nice

This little music cabinet is the latest project completed this weekend!

This piece belongs to existing customers and I am so blessed to know that they trust me to refinish their family heirlooms. They asked me to bring it back to life and restore its charm. One of the front legs had broken off completely and I needed to rebuild it as well as remove the old green paint and crumbling finish prior to doing any work to it. I do believe that is exactly what transpired. She goes back to their home this weekend!

This dresser has gone through a big transformation! The owner wanted to modernize it as well as make it a little more functional for them. I removed the scalloped trim on the bottom, created two new top drawers to give them flat drawer fronts, I also made them two new bottom drawers that are much larger than the original for extra storage space, then added trim to the existing frame to make space for the new larger drawers, and of course created a new base and legs. Then painted the dresser in the custom crème color to match another dresser they purchased from me. My customers were completely thrilled when they saw it and I am so glad that they trusted me with this project. Pictures below of what the journey looked like 😃 the first picture is the before and after!

This little desk has had its own journey. From start to finish, I thought it would be simple and a quick turn around, but no it had decided to slow down my process and give me a hard time with the table surface. BUT I never lost my patience or faith, I knew overall it would come out beautiful. It has been recently listed on fbmp and hopefully it finds a new owner soon! The before picture is the last one. Enjoy friends!

Creating new dresser bases out of white oak. To achieve the color and look I want I first open the pores to the wood by wiping it down with a wet cloth. Then do a white wash on the board, once it’s dry, I apply an oil-based wood stain then viola! Perfect color that will blend well with the cream color dresser and not yellow or turn orange over time.

Hi friends! It’s been a hot minute but I have been working on a few side projects simultaneously which makes for a more busy schedule on the weekends. I mainly do the majority of my furniture restoration or refurbishing on the weekends but sometimes I rest too 😅😃. But soon I’ll post what I’ve been working on. Two of which was for me to recreate the cream lowboy dresser which were requested by new customers. The third is a vintage music cabinet that belongs to another customer. All exciting work, a lot of modifications, a lot of add-ons, repairs, and overall happy customers at the end of the project ♥️

It is now awaiting its new drawer handles 😊! In the meantime…Onto the next project 😃
