TV Entertainment Unit

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

There is a number of reasons why I love refinishing and restoring family heirlooms, hand-me-down furniture and grandpa’s builds. One reason, these pieces have significant meaning to my clients. Memories of the family get togethers around a dining table, a daughter inheriting her beloved mothers bedroom set after passing or simply a piece that someone in the family built by hand. You entrust me with these special pieces and I am absoutley honor to give them a Second Chance!

I have done a bedroom set for this client a couple years back and she finally got her hands on her aunts TV entertainment unit and wanted a fresh look.

This huge massive Tv Entertainment Unit has a top as well that I couldn’t put up by myself, nor place this entire four piece set in my staging area for a true picture. Nonetheless, I am completely over the moon with how she turned out!

Refinished in multiple different coats of Sher-Wood Dark Oak and a custom Grey stain. We added black rustic metal half moon pulls for an updated look, taking off glass doors and bottom doors for a more modern open concept.

When grandpa builds a desk, you know it was done right! My clients grandfather built this desk over 40 years ago. When my client got her hands on it she brought this gem to me to be given a new look!

Refinished in Sher-Wood Dark Oak stain. She wanted a rustic technique done on this desk for her farmhouse charmed home, and that’s exactly what I did. Original pulls revamped in Bronze keeping this fellow original in honor of her grandfather.

2 Drawer Accent Leg Chest

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

A family heirloom received a Second Chance. This may be an Ethan Allen reproduction piece, but the memories and stories it holds for my clients’ family can’t possibly make that any less important. This beauty will be going to California as a Christmas Gift staying in the family for more generations to enjoy!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black and lightly glazed in a grey. The top and drawer faces are done in a gloss finish while the body in a Matte finish. I love how these two different sheens look on the same color paint. Giving some depth and glam! Original hardware revamped in Nickel and glazed in Black for an antique feel.

A bedroom set by American Drew Furniture including a 10 drawer dresser, two nightstands, and a headboard that can fit either a full or queen bedframe.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and lightly distressed in the perfect spots highlighting the curves of these beauty’s. When I sanded down the tops of these pieces I couldn’t help but admire their natural pine grain and knots.

A custom mirror where I just cant get out of the reflection. Don’t mind my usually look I rock, which includes the messy bun and paint stained clothes on the daily. 😉

Mixed Matched Coffee Table and End Table

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Back in December of 2016 I refinished a coffee table for my lovely client. She recently moved and wanted her end table to match, but had a complication with the movers in regards to the coffee table. As I was fixing the top to the coffee table, I sent her a photo of the progress. Short story, we changed the coffee table a little bit and refinished the side table to match!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Black Fox and lightly distressed. Tops are stained in Minwax Pecan.
