Clearly I love refinishing furniture. One of the main reasons why I am extremely busy with client projects more so than available pieces (You can find those gems over in Shop Selections) are the reactions I get when my clients see their final pieces. Most of the pieces I refinish for my customers are heirloom pieces. The emotional attachment to these items are important, not just to you but to me as well. I understand the importance of each piece, as most of my furniture in my home came from family. There are mixed emotions you get when giving me something so special to transform. Doubt, guilt, excitement, and literally tears of joy, I have seen it all. I am so honored to be a small part of a page in your amazing story.
This buffet was a special one to my client. As it was given to her by her late grandmother. A concern that my client had in regards to her piece was leaving the inside of the unit intact. You can still smell grandmothers potpourri and my client didn’t want to lose that part of her. I closed off the inside and carefully hand washed this gal leaving no Second Chance trace on the inside.
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Pure White and glazed in Gauntlet Gray. Revamped original hardware in nickel.

If you are living in the Valley of the Sun like myself, you are probably staying inside as much as possible. YES… things are melting out here in Arizona! It has been so incredibly hot this summer! I am getting a lot of concerns as to what time I do my work, and if I am staying hydrated from my thoughtful clients. I swear- you guys are the sweetest! My family and I are keeping cool in our pool as well as getting out of town as much as we can and heading north to the family cabin to escape the heat. I have been doing all of my work in the early hours in the mornings before the sun can make things unbearable.
In June there were some amazing pieces that were completed for both customers and inventory. As always please email, text or call me for a quote! Remember to get yourself on the First Dibs Email to be notified first on available pieces. Let’s take a look at what was completed for the month of June.

Most recent work. A complete nursery bedroom set and a restoration on an antique record player! All custom pieces. If you have a piece that you would like refinished or restored please message me! You can view pieces that are for customization over at In the Studio and already finished available pieces for purchase over at Shop Selections.
This was an exciting piece to be apart of, it didn’t involve refinishing but a nice restoration. My client bought this from her neighbor who bought it from a garage sale. Restoring this ol gal to her glory days involved sanding down the top and re-staining it in a custom Chestnut stain to match. The rest of this girl needed a nice deep clean to bring her back to life. I was told all her record parts work beautifully and now she too can sing a new tune with her Second Chance restoration!

Last week a Dresser and Nursery Crib were posted. Starting this week off with the final piece to this bedroom set, a tall chest of drawers. Refinished in a solid sleek transformation using Sherwin-Williams Snowbound. Updated the previous knobs with these gorgeous wood peg and metal ring knobs from Hobby Lobby and added zinc washers in use for plate flair!

Refinishing a nursery set for a client and I am in love with what these pieces look like! Yesterday the Nursery Crib was posted, today I am sharing the dresser and soon to follow the tall chest of drawers.
A solid sleek transformation using Sherwin-Williams Snowbound. Found these gorgeous wood peg and metal ring knobs at Hobby Lobby. My client had a wonderful idea to use gold washers for the plates to hide the previous hole cut outs that the original knobs left on the top row in both dressers. He loved it so much that we continued to use them for all the knobs adding a unique flair to these simple knobs.

After my new found clients took him home for their TV media center it wasn’t long before I received a message about some furniture they had that needed a Second Chance. Expecting another baby I refinished their nursery set a crib, dresser and a chest of drawers.
Keeping it a simple sleek smooth design I revamped this beauty in a solid finish using Sherwin-Williams Snowbound. First up the Crib!
