General Finishes

I bulit this fun coffee table from the ends of an old cable spool.  Added modern hairpin legs to update the look.  Stained with Antique Walnut gel stain, sealed with High Performance top coat in satin.

This Bassett was a little sad looking when I purchased it.  I knew it needed a little refreshing to bring out the details. The Tiki style totem pole piece down the middle really draws you in.  Drawer fronts have been painted in Antque white milk paint, hardware was scrubbed and cleaned to its original golden brass glow.  Frame of dresser was stained in Antique Walnut Jave gel.  Dresser sealed in High Performance topcoat in flat. 

This drab previously honey oak colored bench was given a new life.  Stained in Java Gel.  Dark Chocolate milk paint used with a wood graining tool to intensify the look of wood grain on top.  Sealed with Arm R Seal topcoat.  Legs painted in Annie Sloan chalk paint and wax.

This table was purchased from an old farmhouse, where it had seen better days.  One leg had been chewed up by and animal, but I knew I could do something fun with this 3 legged old girl.  I cut all the legs down from waist height to coffee table height.  The top was badly stained, so in came dark chocolate milk paint to the rescue.  Top was sealed with High Performance topcoat in satin.  Legs were painted with a custom mixed Annie Sloan Chalk paint color, sealed with AS black wax.  Foam board was cut to fit back wall of cubbyhole, foam was covered in vintage reproduction fabric in French wo

This was a custom request from a 13 year old girl.  Her mom was letting her pick her own colors for her new teenager bedroom.  She couldn't decide between gray and cream, so we did a little of both.  Frame painted in Seagull gray, top drawer painted in 50/50 mix of antique white and snow white.  Hardware painted in Seagull gray, with pitch black glaze effects applied to get and aged patina look.  Sealed with flat out flat.

My go to neutral!  Seagull gray is versatile, with its barely gray color, it matches and decor.  This cute little mini MCM dresser was updated in Seagull gray, flat out flat, and the original bowtie hardware were refreshed with Krylon gold spray. 

Basil milk paint was the perfect color to give this buffet a new life.  The front legs were stripped to their natural wood color, and brushed with white wax to which gave it a less formal appearance and more of a modern farmhouse vibe.  Basil is a great soft and subtle color that blends well with any decor. 

I have had this piece in my inventory for over 2 years, and was completly uninspired by it.  Until a client asked if i had any desk available.  She wanted to purchase one for her daughter who had just graduated from Law school.  Her words were "something curvy and feminine".  I suddenly became inspired.  My client wanted a deep navy, deeper than coastal blue.  I mixed 3 parts coastal blue to 1 part lamp black to achieve this classy color.  The end result was this piece of beauty.  I used rub n'buff to achieve the coppery gold hardware color. 

My favorite piece so far!  I get to stare at the beauty every morning, since it permanent residence is my bedroom.  This updated MCM lowboy dresser has been refinished in Candlelite gel stain and Driftwood milk paint.  Drawer fronts sealed wiht Gel polyurethane, frame sealed with HPTC in flat. 

The classic Empire sofa table was just asking for soft and subtle color. So classy, yet so simple.   I mixed 3 parts Antique white with 1 part snow white to achieve this color.  Sealed with High Performance topcoat in flat. 

The sun shone on the drawer fronts of this fabulous MCM dresser just at the right time. Highlighting the gorgeous wood grain and color.  Java gel and Antique walnut gel were mixed to get just the right color.  Antique white milk paintis the perfect compliment to the gel stain.  Sealed with High Performance top coat in satin.   

This dresser is fit for a princess of any age. It's hard to take your eyes off these stunning shades of coral!  Drawers lined in funky fun flamingo paper, keeping the look fresh and young.
