Another Buffet table/entertainment/dresser/anything :) SOLD

I really do love a piece when I can fit it some turquoise somewhere. Turquoise was the color I painted my first piece almost 3 years ago and is still something I really love to do. I don't even have a piece I kept this color... I NEEEED one :) This was a fun buffet table or entry table. I love the contrasting colors. It was painted, distressed, glazed and sealed. I don't do a lot of the process pictures anymore since I do the same thing every time. This table is still available. Contact info on the sidebar. :)





9 drawer dresser

This dresser needed a lot of work. All of the runners were broke.  I have to idea how the top and bottom drawers were opened. There was no knobs or holes where an actual pull would go. I drilled holes for those and replaced all the existing hardware. The color is a cream, distressed and glazed. It was sealed for durability.  It is solid wood and very heavy. This piece is still available and contract info is at the sidebar for more info.
 This is some of the glazing technique I used. Just throw it on there and wipe off what I don't want. It didn't accept the glaze very well so I had to do this a few times.


 Such a mess but so worth the finished product. Sorry for the crazy garage pics. It is getting to cold to move everything in and out of my house for staged pictures. :)



 The middle section of drawers look like there are 2 separate sections but it is one large drawer. I love the glass knobs as well. The cracked paint look matches perfect.


Turquoise

When I saw this I loved the hardware. I thought for sure I would repaint them and it would be perfect. When I got that natural patina color up next to  the repainted color I loved it so I left them. I don't do a lot of tall dressers but this one was so fun. The detail was perfect and so great with the glaze and distressing.






Love the Antique style of this dresser

The Antique style dressers are my favorite to refinish. They have so much fun detail. I also really like this turquoise. It was a custom color I mixed on my own to get the right color I wanted.  My camera never really took a true color picture. My cell phone for the first one was almost the best one. It was a perfect robin egg color. Loved it!










Snow White??

I loved this Buffet Table when I first saw it. Then I found the matching end tables and loved it even more. It can be used as so many different things. A dresser, entertainment center would be fun or just as decor in an entry way. Anyway, with the marble inlay I knew I had to do a color that would not clash with that green natural color so my obvious choice was white and I loooove it! This item comes as a set of 3 and is still available. Contact info at the side bar for more information.




This is one of the doors after it had been distressed
This is the one that hasn't been distressed yet and they are side by side... doesn't a little sanding add so much to the detail?

Here is the finished product. The spindles are used to hold a shelf or something. They can also be removed.






I left the inside the chocolate color. I liked the contrast.
