My client wanted this little side table she found at Goodwill fixed up. Had lots of scratches. She chose a chocolate brown color for the two table rounds and black for the legs.

Before and After - Nightstand

A sweet friend brought this to me because she ‘knew I could do something wth it’. 🙂

It originally belonged to her grandmother.

My friend used it in her daughter’s bedroom and when it came time to makeover the room, they opted to get rid of the nightstand. She asked family if they wanted it and everyone said no. Instead of tossing it in the trash, she asked me if I wanted it. YAY!!!

It’s always hard for me to say no to a project piece with good bones.

I cleaned it up really well and removed all the stickers, did a little scuff sand and painted it in Windy Blue by Sherwin Williams. Such a soft, French blue. The floral and ribbon accents on the piece deserved to be highlighted so I went over them with a gold Rub and Buff.

New gold hardware was added. Love the bow k**b (from Hobby Lobby). Gold bar pulls are from Lowe’s.

Final touch was a blue floral peel and stick wallpaper in the bottom of the drawers.

I can definitely see this piece going back into a little girl’s bedroom! :)

Before and After

Dresser

This piece came to us in pretty bad shape. Lots of damage. Missing k**bs. None of the drawer glides worked.

We sanded it all down.

Added new stain (Minwax Jacobean)

Then several coats of polycrylic clear coat for protection.

New k**bs (well, new to this piece) were purchased off of eBay (they were vintage to match the original style).

New drawer glides were also installed.

The backing board was replaced as the old piece had a huge hole.

Before and After

Refinished this mismatched (but similar) dresser and two nightstands quite awhile back. Just haven’t shared these, yet.

Typical cherry wood furniture. Just needed lots of TLC.

Painted in Sherwin Williams Greek Villa (white).

New gold k**bs just topped it off!!

Before and After - Round 2

Media Cabinet turned into Open Shelving Hutch

Took this large media cabinet and removed the doors. Lots of repairs/holes filled.

Painted it Windy Blue by Sherwin Williams.

Added new backer board that was lined with a black and white windowpane wallpaper.

Added 2 wood shelves in the top piece.

New gold k**bs were added to the drawers.

Having a hard deciding if I want to keep or sell. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Before and After

2 Nightstands
Dresser with Mirror

I love being to take mismatched pieces and turn them into a matched set.

Removed all the ‘lovely’ paint from the nightstands. The door has a rattan insert. So, that was interesting to remove all the blue/green/yellow ‘mermaid’ finish. All the hardware had been painted white so all of that was removed. New handles were added to the drawers and new k**bs for the doors.

The paint finish that was used on all the pieces was an off white paint color (Sherwin Williams Shoji White). After that dried, a chocolate brown glaze was added and wiped back (Rustoleum Java Brown). After that, a semi gloss polycrylic clear coat sealed everything!!

Large armoire refinished in a lovely shade of blue (Sherwin Williams Windy Blue).

Left the doors off this one for an open shelving concept.

Added two glass shelves (but I may go back in and add wood shelves, instead).

New gold k**bs on the drawers!!
Added a new backing board that I lined with a black and white windowpane wallpaper.

I’m also thinking of painting the feet gold!!

New drawer glides were added to the bottom drawers.

Another chair repair. Actually, 2 chairs!!

These extremely heavy, rustic wood chairs needed some TLC. The glue had released so the arms and back were loose and the spindles were coming out of their holes.

The client also wanted these cut down just a bit in order to fit underneath his table. The way they were, they would only pull up to the table, but not fit underneath.

Delivering these tomorrow!
Let’s hope they fit!!

This was a repair job.

A rolling wheel broke off when someone sat down in this chair.

We had to build a block of wood with a hole in the middle for the wheel to slide up into. Used screws and glued it in to place.

Good to go!!

Before and after

Rocking Chair

This rustic rocking chair was used as a chew toy by our client’s dogs. It had definitely seen better days. Bondo, wood filler, epoxy and paint to the rescue!! This chair was completely dismantled, repaired and then put back together.

We are happy we could make this rocking chair usable once again!!
