✨ Meet Perdita… or should I say, Cruella! ✨

If you’ve followed my page for a while, you know my furniture almost always earns a name before it heads back home. This beautiful client console became Perdita—inspired by the Dalmatian from 101 Dalmatians. Once I uncovered all those crazy little spots and faux wormholes, the name just stuck!

When I shared the name with my client, they immediately laughed and said, “Cruella!” 😂 I had to agree… it was the perfect name for this piece!

Cruella came to me after a plug-in air freshener leaked onto the tabletop and damaged the original finish. (A little public service announcement… those oils can do surprising damage to furniture finishes!)

My biggest concern was what those leaking chemicals had done beneath the finish. Then came the real surprise… once the top was stripped, I discovered it wasn’t wood veneer at all! Instead, it was a factory-created faux wood sprayed finish over a composite surface.

Let’s just say I never expected liquid wood to become part of this project, but sometimes a piece tells you what it needs! Layer by layer, Cruella’s tabletop was rebuilt with hand-applied liquid wood, rich walnut stain, glazes, and finally several coats of protective polyurethane.

I’m so happy with how Cruella turned out, and even happier that this special piece gets to go back home a little spiffier than when she left.

✨ The Tina Set ✨

Remember this set? This one has been a little hard to keep under wraps!

For the past several weeks, I’ve been working on this custom commission for clients who have loved this dresser and nightstand for more than 30 years. They envisioned a bright, coastal-inspired refresh for their guest bedroom, complete with beautiful rope-inspired hardware.

Along the way, I discovered these pieces were built with a combination of solid wood, manufactured wood, and laminate surfaces. That meant adjusting my refinishing process with specialty bonding primers and plenty of patience to ensure a beautiful, durable finish.

Today was delivery day… and the surprise reveal! ❤️

It’s always an honor when someone trusts me with furniture that’s been part of their family’s story for decades. Thank you for allowing me to give “The Tina Set” its next chapter.

🎥 Enjoy the transformation!

Sometimes a project isn’t about selling a piece of furniture.

Sometimes it’s about a little boy’s upcoming birthday.

These two tired little nightstands were given a second chance with new legs, beadboard drawer fronts, fresh paint, updated hardware, and a few superhero surprises tucked inside the drawers.

Of course… no project would be complete without at least one unexpected twist! 🙄

In my excitement, I ordered one set of legs instead of two. 🤦‍♀️ One nightstand stood proudly while the other patiently waited for its matching feet to arrive. Lesson learned… always double-check the shopping cart!

Thankfully, everything came together in the end, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

This project has been such a joy to create, and I can’t wait to surprise one very special little boy on his birthday a few months from now.

Until then… the secret is safe with all of you. 🤫❤️

What’s happening in the garage these days?

This dresser and nightstand have been part of my clients’ home for more than 30 years and have recently received a fresh new look for their guest bedroom.

One thing I discovered after bringing them home is that they are constructed from a combination of solid wood, manufactured wood, and laminate surfaces. Many people assume furniture is either “solid wood” or “not worth refinishing,” but that’s not always the case. Different materials simply require different preparation and products to achieve a durable finish.

This project involved cleaning, sanding, deglossing, specialty bonding primers, and a few surprises along the way. The new hardware was a perfect choice!

I can’t share the finished transformation just yet because my clients would like the final result to be a surprise, but I can promise the reveal is coming soon!

What do you think we did in terms of color and hardware?

Stay tuned… 😊

Ok. This is fun.

✨ Meet Charlotte ✨

She started out a little tired… worn in all the wrong places… and hiding some serious potential.

Now? She’s completely reimagined.

Rich walnut drawers, a deep, moody painted body, and those gorgeous brass pulls that feel like they’ve always belonged. Every drawer is solid wood with dovetail joinery (because quality never goes out of style) and freshly lined for a clean, finished touch.

She’s classic. She’s refined. And she’s ready for her next home.

This is one of those pieces that doesn’t shout…
but somehow becomes the best thing in the room.

Meet Slim 🤍

Custom-built by my client’s husband and finished in Sherwin Williams Extra White for a clean, timeless look.

Simple lines, versatile style, and a perfect fit for its new home.

I love bringing pieces like this to life.

Meet Stella & Pearl. ✨

These two came to me with a little extra “history”… and a lot of potential.

After a full refresh — smoothing, rebuilding, and a clean new finish — they’ve been completely transformed.

Crisp Nice White (Sherwin Williams), warm brass accents, and tapered wood legs… with a little surprise inside each drawer. 🌿

I love a good before-and-after, and this one might be a favorite. A classic refresh with a modern feel — ready for their next home.

These nightstands came to me with a little extra “personality”… 😊

A few bumps and bruises, some wobbly bits, a few layers, and plenty of history — but also a lot of potential.

I can’t wait to show you what they’re about to become.

Any guesses on the final look? 👀
