I love before and after pictures!! The sweetest couple brought me a set of chairs to refinish and reupholster. I think the fabric and paint color were both great choices for the style of chair, and love the way they turned out. Hope they enjoy using them for years to come!!

A pretty pedestal table, and a set of captains chairs. They weren't originally a set, but with a lovely antique white paint they look like they were made for each other. Jacobean stain on the table top is a warm and elegant complement.

A sweet little drop leaf table found in the attic, and resuscitated with a little stain, chalk paint and dark wax. The owner placed it in between two reading chairs for an afternoon cup of tea.

Started on this beauty, and my sweet hubbie suggested I start a little journal on my projects, so here goes. After a small repair, some cleaning, prep work, and sanding, I put the first coat on yesterday. This is a mid-century vintage china cabinet, made of two large pieces, with lots of gorgeous detail. Stay tuned over the coming days for more progress and the big reveal at the end!!

Before and after of my aquarium cabinet. I enjoy having fish, but didn't like the plain black cabinet. Amazing what a little paint, decorative molding and dark wax can do!!!

Everyone has that piece of furniture. You know the one….. you don’t love it, but you don’t want to get rid of it. Better yet, you really do not want to spend the extraordinary amount of money a brand new piece of furniture would cost.

That’s where I can help. There are so many ways to breathe new life into that vintage diamond in the rough, making it a beautiful, one of a kind, and functional statement piece. For a fraction of the cost of new.

If you live in the Knoxville area, and have a piece of furniture you would like refinished, painted, or distressed, I would love to talk to you about it!
