Ready to go next week! Final coats of sealer will be applied tomorrow, and then the pieces can cure for a few days.

The 4 drawer Dixie chest of drawers, measures 36" w x 19.5"d x 46.5"h It has one divided drawer.

The 6 drawer Drexel dresser measures 59.5" l x 21"d x 34"h. It has 2 divided drawers and one small divided compartment In a top drawer.

The tops of both were stained with a custom blend of multiple shades of stain and then sealed. Both bases were painted with Fusion Mineral Paint in Little Lamb, and then lightly distressed to better reflect the age of the furniture. They were then sealed with multiple coats of a high grade sealer.

Sorry for the poor photos. My space is a bit crowded and it was hard to get a great angle.

$750 cash/Venmo preferred, but cc is accepted for a small fee.

Here is a before and after of Meg's beautiful table that had belonged to her grandmother.

I love having the opportunity to work on special pieces of furniture like this. It's so rewarding to have a fresh finish that brings new life to furniture.

(Note: The "after" table was just dressed for photos. I always recommend leaving fresh finishes uncovered for 3-4 weeks, until a full cure has been established.)

Coming soon! This gorgeous set of dressers will be completed this coming week. (I ran out of paint today. 🙄😁 )

They weren't purchased as a set and have slight differences, but with matching stain and paint, they look fantastic together. I LOVE these, and have held onto them for my own personal use, but can't figure out where to use them.

Contact me to arrange purchase!

Kristen is all settled in her new home and sent pix of the altar in an environment that was *much* nicer than my garage. LOL Isn't it fabulous!

If you've had a custom project on the back burner, I'm scheduling for September currently! Either text or message some pix, and let me know what you have in mind!!

Although the vintage chest of drawers is a Dixie, and the dresser is a Drexel, I am going to be selling these as a set. (Please don't ask if I'll separate. :) ) Due to missing veneer and some other veneer repairs, I will be painting them. There is a *slight* chance that the veneer work will allow a stained top, but not very likely.

If you would like to choose your paint color, please reach out ASAP since I have started prep work. As of now, I'm waffling between black or neutral gray, and I am planning to gently distress both pieces so they still feel close to their actual age.

This was the *perfect* "I SWEAR this time I'm really getting back to business" project.

Kristen loved the altar that had belonged to her grandmother, but really wanted to change the finish to better blend with their furnishings.

And...I was under the wire to get this completed before the family moved. As you all know by now, I am ALWAYS a last minute finisher, and this was no exception. It was delivered the afternoon before their move. LOL

Better pix will be shared as soon as this beauty takes a front and center role In their new home, and I can't WAIT to see it!!

It's been so long since I took on a custom project, or sold a "spec piece" that I was half tempted to start all over with a new name and a new page. But that seemed like too much. Too much work, too much explaining, too much to change.

I'm currently scheduling a limited number of custom projects each month. I have a couple of slots in early June, and then again mid-July.

I also have a *gorgeous* vintage mahogany chest of drawers and a matching dresser that will be available soon. (I've had them squirreled away for my own personal use, but can't figure out where to use them.) If you are interested in having them custom finished, reach out soon. My plan is to start working on them both before next week. They will be sold as a set, preferably. I'll include photos of the furniture below as soon as I un-earth them They are buried in a mess currently. LOL

Have you contacted me about custom work this year? And had no response, or vague answers? 🙂 I haven’t done any work at all in so long. Like…none. I’ve been trying to find my focus, get myself back on track, and am hopeful for the new year. So, send me a message if you’d like to have your furniture renewed starting in January. I appreciate how patient all y’all have been. For real.

*Sold*

As hard as I’ve tried, I can’t find a place for this in my house. 😭😭 So my impulse purchase and subsequent refinish project is my loss and your gain.

Multiple stains were used for the desk top in my best attempt to match those amazing drawer fronts. And can we talk about the drawer pulls? 🤯🥰 I’ve never seen any exactly like these, and I ❤️ them.

Dimensions: 50.25”l x 19”d x 30.5”h

Note that there are minor blemishes that in no way effect the function or beauty of this unique pre-1940’s desk. Pick up from my Farragut home.

Before and after:
I love how Meg’s table top turned out!! I needed to remove the old finish before I could put fresh stain on this heirloom table. (A family member was going to paint the base.) And what a difference! Getting rid of that tired old stain made such a difference. 3 different stains were used, along with

Coming soon. Maybe. 😂 I’ve had this pre-1940’s book matched flame mahogany veneer desk in my workspace for the better part of a year, and just decided to refresh the gorgeous drawer fronts and top. The curved front is so amazing. The base needed a little cosmetic TLC, so I opted to paint the frame with in my favorite . The stain (so far) is a shade by that I hadn’t used before…Honey. Full finish coming soon, along with pricing if I decide to part with it. I don’t know though. The mahogany is captivating. Oh! And wait until you see the original hardware. 🥰
