If you missed out on this handsome fellows sisters’ debut, you can click here to read her story: Dry Brush Dresser. Last piece to complete this master bedroom set is this tall chest. Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Dorian Gray for the base main color. I used a new technique for myself called dry brushing using Repose Gray and Gauntlet Gray in a crosshatch look.
“Do what you see best, I trust you”… those words would scare the paint brush right out of my hand about 4 years ago… now when I hear phrases like that, I smile. A big ol grin is plastered to my face and I am one hundred percent sure I either look goofy or creepy. haha. All I ask from my client is a few inspirational photos that give them that “Love” feeling. You know that feeling when you see an inspirational space and can imagine yourself living in that room, perhaps enjoying a good book or a glass of wine with a loved one.
After looking at her inspirational photos and seeing her space that these two dressers will occupy I knew what I wanted to do.
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Dorian Gray for the base main color. I used a new technique for myself called dry brushing using Repose Gray and Gauntlet Gray in a crosshatch look. His matching Tall Chest of Drawers will follow shortly!

Back in the beginning of 2015, I worked on two dressers with a fellow refinisher. She did the wood work end of things and I refinished. One of those pieces was this black distressed dresser. She added the wood slats and I stained and painted this fellow to complete his rustic transformation.
Almost 2 years later this same client came back to me with a request of a night stand to match. I have learned more things since his dresser debut and was able to build him a stand to match his dresser.
Refinished in Tricorn Black and distressed in the lines only. Added wood slats on the shelf, bottom base and top. Stained in Chestnut. Added a rope handle to complement his twin brother. I love these custom pieces!
I found two of these nightstands at a garage sale, however my client only wanted one to complete his guest room. My before and after picture is unique as in it has both the original nightstand alongside the finished product shown together. As you can see I cut around the top overlapped sides to flush it against the base of the nightstand. Removed the bottom front base to add slats around the bottom and lowered the drawer half an inch.
Custom coffee table refinished in Sherwin-Williams Black Fox. Lightly distressed to bring the natural wood through and glazed in Tricorn Black to enhance the details of this gorgeous piece.
A couple years ago a neighbor came over to see some of my pieces that were waiting to be picked up from clients and one that was for sale. I’ll never forget her response, “oh Becca, when you said you painted furniture… I had no idea”. She ended up purchasing, one of my all time favorites, a black distressed Victrolla with stained legs.
After a few custom pieces later, I am excited to be able to do another project for her. I love her style. Its retro meets vintage. She embraces color and the pieces I have done for her in the past show that. Here are a few of her pieces I’ve refinished :
To add to her collection of Second Chance Charm furniture she found a desk at a yard sale and couldn’t pass her up. I agree, what an incredible find! Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Coquina. All panels, drawer faces and desk top have been sanded down and sealed for a natural look. Hardware kept as is. Love!
Most recent work! The french provincial nightstand is pending sale. All other projects were custom pieces. If you have any questions please message me!
A couple weeks ago on a gorgeous Saturday morning my husband surprised me with getting the kids ready and taking us out for some donuts and coffee. On our drive back home he decided to go straight instead of turning left into our neighborhood. Suddenly the kids spotted the garage sale signs and next thing we knew the garage sailing had began. It’s the simple things that one can do to show his love. He knows I enjoy the spontaneous garage sales- its the only time I find things, it seems like!
We found this gem for $10! He was badly beat up. His top was completely detached. His paint job was chipping off- and not in the way of farmhouse chic. The owner said he had belonged to her grandmother and she was ready to let go of him. As I purchased the lone man I did give her one of my cards and told her what I was planning on doing, in case she had second thoughts 😉 . If you are out there reading this- I hope you find him to be handsome once again, I sure do! He is for sale! You can check him out at Shop Selections.
As I was sanding down his top I couldn’t believe my eyes! Look what was hiding underneath the maroon paint! I knew his base deserved glaze to showcase his detailed beauty- Tall, dark and handsome is this fellow!
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Black Fox and glazed in Rock Bottom. Original hardware polished. Top stained in Dark Oak.
