All of these pieces are available and ready to be finished. They are white right now but can easily be repainted before I distress them. I have had a lot of calls the last few weeks. I am still trying to catch up with everyone so be patient if I haven't gotten back with you. :-) I have had a few emails asking what I have left so I thought I would post some pics incase someone wanted a custom color before I finished them. If you have ordered something I am currently working on don't worry your pieces will be finished before these. Thanks everyone for a wonderful year!

Refinished Cherry Red Hutch
I guess I forgot before pics.... Just the original old wood. This piece was given a good sanding, it actually was in pretty bad shape and in need of a few repairs, painted cherry red, lightly distressed and glazed in a light chocolate brown and sealed. This was a commissioned piece. The customer just wanted it lightly distressed and glazed and the pics are off my phone once again so a little harder to see the detail. It was a fun piece. Glass shelves were replaced with chicken wire (which I have done a lot this year.) This is actually really close to my last piece for the season. It has been a wonderful and very busy year for me. I am grateful for all my wonderful customers!!
Record Console
I love old record players. My Dad had one while I was growing up as a child and this reminds me so much of him. This was a comissioned piece for a musically inclined, artsy, opinionated......in other words difficult to please customer LOL Just Kidding! I think at one point I told him if they hadn't been such great customers I would have told them "sorry.... better luck next time!" It was that miserable of a refinish! Whomever put this piece together did it with the intentions of it never being taken apart again. It took forever to get the front face off without damaging the spindles. It had to come off in order to replace the fabric. Anyway, long story short after a couple days it was all taken apart WHAOOO! The top and base were stripped a couple times, sanded, stained and sealed. The rest was primed in a white (so after the distressing it would show through) painted stone gray, glazed in Ralph Lauren blk and sealed. I didn't get the greatest "after" pic's.... I actually forgot that I even had taken any at all. I snapped a couple to send the customer on my phone so no real pics but these will do!
or tight.....?
