Secretary Desk and Bar Stools

These were also commissioned pieces. I love the gray that she chose. I have been doing it a lot lately. Such a classy sophisticated color. The chairs turned out awesome and looked great in her kitchen. This was the first secretary desk I have done and it dates back to the 70's I have to say that it was a lot of work. People think that solid colors with no distressing or glazing is easy but in reality it is much harder for me. I would rather take all the extra steps because you can't really mess up distressing. You can scratch it, hit it, burn it, take a chain to and hubbies favorite drag it! Solid colors need to be perfect and don't allow for error... lets just say it was touched up over and over again and sealed and then touched up again and resealed! It was like never ending but with a beautiful result. I have to say I am absolutely in LOVE with this desk and if I had a place for it would have kept it LOL I know I always say that but I mean it this time :) It looked great in her house and was the perfect color!

Desk and end tables SOLD

 These pieces are commissioned. I have to say that stripping and staining are the harder refinishes that I get. I love the finished product but it is hard to get it where I want it. You never know with raw wood how it will take to stain. These were stripped, sanded, stained a dark walnut and sealed. The paint was the same technic I always use. I have to say I wasn't too super sad to see them go. It is always fun to send a piece on it's way looking completely different then when I received it. Countless hrs of work but worth it to have a happy customer! AND I love to free up some space in my garage because I am jam PACKED right now. Not complaining. I love what I do and it never gets old for me. So grateful to all my awesome customers!

 Let the stripping begin!

 And the sanding.....

 and more stripping and more sanding.....

ANNNNND WHALLLAAAA!

 the end tables were not near as time consuming....

Refinished Gray 9 Drawer Dresser SOLD

This dresser was in  pretty bad shape when we saw it. It got a good paint job and lots of distressing to show the white underdone. It was sealed a couple times for durability. All knobs are original just sprayed flat black. This cute dresser would look great in any bedroom. All of the runners work great. It is currently still available. Contact at the sidebar for more info.
