I love to paint fabric!

Such a great alternative to reupholstering! Chalk based paint and wax makes it feel like leather!

No, it doenst come off, or crack! Just wears in like a soft old bomber jacket! :-)

There were a green and burgandy plaid when they started! 

They got fully painted in Black and then I hand painted in the wish ...for fun!

Because you can be whimsical when you're rescuing!

This has long been my favorite,  the one that got away. Done with Dixie belle patina paint in copper and bronze with blue snd green reactive spray and pearl metallic

By the light of the moon the babies make their way to their big blue home.  I used Waverly Pecock Blue on the base and the. background is minwax golden pecan and the ocean and all the scene is done in Unicorn Spit Gel Stain.  All freehand art.  I applied 1 cost of Lacquer and  4 coats of poly acrylic to seal the scene.  

Taking inspiration from warehouse crates and industrial letters/numbers this 11 drawer piece was transformed. All 11 drawers were refinished. After sanding the existing finish a light coat of GF HP Flat finish sealer was applied to drawer fronts. After dry a light  hand rubbed finish of Java was applied to highlight wood grain. . Graphics were added and then the drawers were sealed again. The...

This floral lady's beautiful details were almost lost to time due to peeling veneer issues the owner didn't think could be salvaged. By blending original wood surfaces with decoupage & custom paint colors, the stately character of this antique piece finally took center-stage again. The top surface was sanded down and refinished with General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain to match the...

This beautiful vanity was stripped down to her bare wood to free her of all the dirt and grime and imperfections. Once prepped, the drawers and top were stained with Early American by Minwax and sealed with a Minwax Satin finish polyurethane. The body and mirror of this piece have three coats of General Finish’s milk paint in Basil. All original hardware was replaced due to being damaged or...

You can’t help but to look at this piece and think glamorous.  Painted in an ombré finish with a combination of white, turquoise, teal and navy blue.  She is nothing short of beautiful!  We dressed her up with Iron Orchid Design Molds on each front corner for added detail.  We then draped her in gold leaf across her body and hardware.  Her curvy legs and scalloped edge provide the perfect...

This over 100 year old Tiger Oak dining table was a battle of wills... me vs the wood! 

My client was less than pleased with the Orange-ish hue the table came with when she purchased it.  She envisioned a murky black finish with the figured parts of the grain popping bright.  I couldn’t guarantee her a black table, but I would deliver a one of a kind finish she and I both fell in love with.  

The Queen of Hearts ----❤️ 

A set fit for a true queen! This vintage French Provincial vanity was hand painted in a royal ruby red and topped with rich black glaze to accentuate all her amazing curves. She has four immaculate dovetailed drawers that have been restored leaving their glorious woodgrain bottoms exposed. Each drawer is crowned with spectacular original gold hardware. Her spacious...

These French Provincial bed side dressers has seen better days when I found them - but they were solid wood, sturdy and in sound condition.  First step was removing the drawer pulls which went right into my tumbler for a 48hr polishing.  Then stripping the tops and bottoms (legs and skirt) - I use a non-toxic product, CitriStrip.  Next step was a thorough sanding of the entire pieces -...

This 1950s sideboard was actually originally formica and not very pretty formica at that!  I had a vision to change it completely and give it a much more luxe look - it already had amazing eye-catching handles so I worked to create geometric shapes to compliment them.

The piece was scuff-sanded first and then given a couple of coats of Fusion Ultra Grip to help the paint adhere to the shiny...

I was given a plain boring pine chest of drawers and asked to create something to suit my customers bedroom. My inspiration came from the colours she had in her bedroom : goldm silver, beige and grey. Over the headboard there is a huge painting with a silver circle and I decided to mirror the round shape on the furniture piece. I picked a few IOD moulds and some non branded ones as well and I...

Chivalrous and sophisticated, this gentleman stands out in the crowd, being recognized as one with a high social standing. Burl wood is highly prized by artists and carpenters for it’s unique shapes and ring patterns. This outstanding specimen was refinished with care and sealed with General Finishes urethane. Eye catching and makes a statement indeed. With doors that open up to 2 shelves, and...

Layers of silver, pewter, black and a hint of gold coupled with a subtle pattern fading in and out make you stop and take a second look at this marble topped sideboard. It easily becomes the understated elegant addition to whatever room you place it in. It all began with a black basecoat before adding its shimmery layers of metallics topped off with the timeless pattern that makes you want to...

1890 Buffet was revamped to a perfect bathroom vanity with copper sink and faucet installed talk about a statement piece. 

Cowgirl Coral DIY paints. Waxes of gold and rustic distressing. 

One of its kind, wooden chest of drawers gained a new, industrial look. Painted and aged by multi-layered application of a whole range of mixed colors on the furniture, which gently penetrate each other creating an impression of being damaged by time. Texture, cracks, and splinters. Every centimeter different and the whole naturally imitates the signs of the times. Painted with General...

Multi shades of grays and silver give this piece it’s WOW factor. SHINEY yet subtle.

Girlie florals and inspiring quotes!

Oh My Land! 

This piece was a labor of love and an inspirational vision brought to me from another artisan that I admire! Melanie at Windmill Vintage Design had done one and I knew when I saw this sofa that I too could transform an old sofa into this amazing bench! We deconstructed all the fabric and the springs, took out about a million staples and foam was everywhere!

I then hired a friend...

On the Brink of Ink describes the "inking" or pinstriping that highlights the detail and compliments the custom color of these cabinets. This kitchen just begged for some lighter cabinets around the perimeter while keeping warm rich tones of the island. A custom mix of General Finishes milk paints in antique white and linen produce a soft creamy vanilla. GF Van Dyke brown glaze was used to...

No question this is a beautiful buffet.  With great carvings and detail work.  And it has it's flaws; although quite minor and cosmetic.

I really wanted to embrace the British Colonial era, and I knew I wanted to focus more on the finish of the body, rather than the center image transfer. 

I think, on this piece, the image transfer is secondary.  And because of that, I choose to mute the...

Boho Betty starts with a wine red front and fades into an array of turquoise, blue and purple. She’s topped in a bright refreshing turquoise. She’s glazed in black and top coated in flat finish. She also wears some flashes of gold here and there just because she can! 

This dresser is freehand painted with no stencils or tracing. I was inspired by antique illustrations when I painted this. I started with a sketch and drew out a map of where I would lay down the colors. I then sanded and painted the whole dresser white I let the white sit for about week before I started the design. When painting the design I maped out the art freehand with paint. I then...

Unfinished pine buffet. I was inspired by old boat wood to create a fun layered look. 

 Cerused beauty! After this rustic dresser was cleaned and stripped I applied dye stain then sealed with wax free shellac. Lime wax was applied and wiped back to highlight the natural patterns of the gorgeous tiger oak. The body was painted in a custom gray which complements the grain beautifully, then sealed with a flat topcoat. 

This desk was in need of a face lift because it had yellowed really bad over the years. I applied 4 coats of GF Snow White followed by 3 coats of GF High Performance Top Coat in Flat. It was a like a brand new piece once I was done!
