I am not a huge fan of AI but I have come to learn, in this business, people are visual learners. AI has allowed me to give a visual of a piece to my clients to see what a piece will look like tailored to their preferences. This is one of those examples. Months back I posted this exact photo of a china cabinet produced by AI. My client loved it and we found the perfect cabinet to fit her space. She found this classic wallpaper from Serena and Lilly and we color matched the paint to the blue in the paper. I am obsessed with this color. It gives the perfect hint of blue. It’s not to overwhelming and bold. I am seriously thinking of redoing all of my living room furniture in this color 😂 the benefits of having a custom color is no one else will have it and I get to name the color. This is now the Bolin Blue and will be a repeat color on pieces! Stay tuned!

You guys! I can’t believe I forgot to post this! It’s been sitting in my garage and I keep thinking, dang why hasn’t this sold yet?! Ugh because you never posted it! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I don’t even have the before picture anymore becuase I truly thought I posted this piece. This entry table/desk is painted in a sage green and a medium brown stain. This piece is a great size for an entry table but also a good height to be a desk. (For sale $190)

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a coffee table! I think a lot of people typically don’t have the space for a coffee, but when my neighbor offered this to me I had to take it. Can’t go wrong with a solid oak table, and let me tell you this sucker is heavy!! I obviously had to paint it white with a medium tone stain, I mean what else would I do 😂 (SOLD)

A client of mine was gracious enough to give me this buffet. It matches a hutch I did for a couple months back, if you scroll down you might just find it 😂 This little buffet is a classic piece, nothing to fancy so it’s perfect for any style home. The soft blue gives it a touch of a statement without over doing it. (For sale $410)

The dressers are so classic! I love painting furniture white because it’s so universal. It will fit on any room. Ever want to change your space? Just change decor instead of the furniture! Keeping it neutral allows you to do that. So for my ladies who likes the change up their space often, I know your out there 😂, neutral white furniture is the best way to go! These dressers don’t match each other but they don’t need to! Once painted I bet no one would notice that they were different!

My goodness you guys! This piece kicked my butt! A week and a half of stripping an sanding, really did me in. I have been doing this for 10 years and I still doubt myself and my abilities all the time. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to achieve the look my client was going for, especially since the wood under the dark stain was unexpected. My client redecorated her house to be more beachy and this piece turned out to look like a piece of driftwood. Even after me stressing all week, the piece turned out exactly how we wanted it to look and
I couldn’t be happier!!

Completely forgot to get a before picture of this piece. It need a lot of work! Most of the veneer needed to be removed, I’m pretty sure they used it as a saw horse, too needed to be reattached, so many things! In the end it all got fixed and it looks so good! Now a little baby’s boy will have a nice heirloom dresser!

You guys! I’ve been so busy lately that I have been forgetting to post my work!

This cutie little corner cabinet was done to match the large china cabinet I did a few weeks back. I love doing cute, sweet little pieces like this. Cabinets in general are my favorite pieces to refinish. They have the biggest transformations and really make a statement in any room.

I love adding wallpaper to the back of china cabinets. It gives such good visual interest in a room, my problem though is, I love alllllll the wallpaper. I am a visual person so with the help of AI I was able to see what the china cabinet would look like with each wallpaper I purchased. I posted those images to see which one was y’all’s favorite. My client snagged this piece up before I even made a decision 😂 AI is a great tool when it comes to visually seeing furniture, I love it!
