The Ugly Duckling

Finished refreshing the top on this little antique vanity last weekend and she’s looking adorable again. 💕 The rest was refinished a while back, and you’ll see that in the last photo.

She has some totally normal wear because… she’s antique and because kids. 😅 But she’s still full of charm — pink + gold detailing, the sweetest silhouette, and a brand-new faux wood-grain top that gives her a fresh little glow-up.

This child-size vanity is available and comes with the chair. ✨

From drab to fab—again!
This 7-drawer beauty is the sister to the tall dresser we showcased yesterday. We gave her textured sides to match, a fresh coat of Alabaster White by Sherwin-Williams, and refinished hardware for a seamless look.

They are ready to head home and compliment an adorable nursery.

Before ➡️ After
This dresser came to me with some battle scars, but now she’s a total showstopper!

We added textured side panels to disguise the damage, updated the hardware with a fresh new finish, and brought her back to life in Alabaster White by Sherwin-Williams.

She’s going to be a beautiful addition to my client’s nursery—soft, classic, and full of charm.

Green Onyx Sofa Table

This client owned piece came to me with a dream of color!

We started with good cleaning to remove the everyday grime build up. Then, we scuff sanded with the Surf Prep using a 120 grit paper to remove the shiny surface. A quick dust removal and then she got two coats of Sherwin-Williams Extreme Bond primer with a light sanding in between coats. Then we were finally ready for color!

We painted her in two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel in the color Green Onyx with another light sanding in between coats. Such a gorgeous earthy color.

The wooden drawers were a bit dry so we revived them with some Howard’s Citrus Shield. The drawers glide like a dream now and smell soooo good.

Vintage Side Table

I like a good upcycle but I LOVE a vintage up-cycle! This client owned little beauty used to be part of a full size vanity. She came to me with years of wear on her and in desperate need of a makeover.

First, all the old finish was removed with the help of KleanStrip and the best two sanders around: the SurfPrep Electric Ray and the Festool RO 90 DX. Next, a thin layer of clear Shellac followed by another light sanding. Then she was stained in two coats of walnut gel stain but she wasn’t quite the color we were trying to achieve. So, a single coat of General Finishes Java gel stain and there it was. The perfect color!

She was finally complete with two coats of satin Helmsman Spar Urethane with the most amazing topcoat brush from Zibra. As with every piece, the drawers and glides were reconditioned with Howard’s Feed & Wax and now they not only look and smell beautiful, they glide so smoothly.

She is going to look so classy next to this client’s beautiful Victorian settee! Thank you Courtney for supporting my small business. ❤️
