Vintage Wardorbe

Published on October 29, 2024October 24, 2024 by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Sherwin-Williams color Contented, a subtle yet stunning color, was perfect for giving my clients’ vintage wardrobe cabinet a fresh Second Chance. In choosing this hue, we were able to evoke a sense of tranquility and charm, which beautifully complements the cabinet’s classic design.

Keeping the top a natural wood stain not only highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain but also adds an element of warmth and authenticity to this piece. Revamping the metal extension hanger bar and matching it with the door hinges are fine details that enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the wardrobe. This careful attention to detail reflects a commitment to preserving the integrity of a family heirloom while ensuring it serves a practical purpose in modern life.

My client is thrilled with her revitalized wardrobe, knowing that it will continue to hold cherished memories and can be used for many years to come, blending the past with the present.

I absolutely love this color grey- it’s a beautiful masculine color that exudes sophistication and style, making it perfect for anyone looking to elevate their living space. Refinished in Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze, this piece showcases a deep, rich hue that is both modern and timeless, seamlessly blending with both contemporary and traditional decor. With these streamlined angles and straight edges, I felt compelled to ensure that the base and legs were the center of attention, drawing the eye and creating an impressive silhouette that commands presence in any room. Sanding them down meticulously and sealing them for a natural look was exactly what I envisioned; this process not only highlights the craftsmanship but also enhances the overall appeal, making it an exquisite addition to any decor that speaks to those who appreciate quality and elegance.

The combination of quality materials and thoughtful design speaks volumes about the artistry involved in creating this stunning furniture piece, providing not just functionality but a statement of style. Original knobs revamped in oil rubbed bronze for a masculine feel add the perfect finishing touch, ensuring that this piece isn’t just furniture; it’s a conversation starter and a testament to refined taste.

Antique Tall Boy Dresser

I got my hands on this stunning 1900’s antique dresser, sadly the original tiger wood faced drawers had seen better days. I ended up having to remove the old partly missing and very much chipped veneer and decided to give this beauty a true Second Chance! Changing directions from giving him a restoration I ended up wanting to see him in a green.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Oakmoss and heavily glazed in a dark brown slightly distressed in areas I saw fit for an aged look. Removing the original knobs and adding different pulls that I revamped in a Chestnut classed up this handsome fellow. I left his casters on, cleaned them up and refinished them in Chestnut as well for an overall makeover.

2019 Portfolio

Published on December 30, 2019February 1, 2021 by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Good bye 2019! WOW! Where do I start, this year I completed the least amount of projects, yet excelled on new techniques, and THAT is something I am so proud of! Refinishing a total of 52 pieces: 6 First Dibs, 4 pieces to complete our remodel in our home, and the rest custom orders!

Thank you! With all of my heart, thank you!

“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.” Claude Monet

This past year my clients pushed my abilities; at times it was stressful, there were tears, fits, and doubts. Looking back I am so appreciative for the opportunity and knowledge I have gained, because of the trust you have in me I gain confidence. Blending was this past year’s trend and a few customers pushed my abilities. It’s only continuing into 2020 and I am looking forward to the art we will create!

If you recall my goal last year going into 2019 was FOCUS. Read post here: 2018 Portfolio. A huge part of this year’s total pieces being fewer than any other year, was in part because I DID focus on myself and my family. We entered new chapters in our lives and as a mother I enjoyed the time well spent this summer.

Looking back on 2019, we started the year off with our home renovations. Such an exciting time! We completely changed our look and had fun in the process. I redid some of my pieces, gained new pieces and overall made our house a home! This year my mother also joined in on the fun and completed 2 custom projects and one special dresser for me that I will be sharing at the beginning of the new year! Stay tuned in!

Thank you again, for your continued support, well wishes and allowing me to be creative on your goodwill finds, outdated pieces and or family heirlooms!

Much love, Becca.

Love all of these colors!! Most recent projects!

“Emmett, what are you doing with my paint stirrers?”

“I’m a king, and these are my swords!”

I’ve been busy playing and enjoying my last few weeks with my half day Preschooler before the Summer Loven goes full blast. August he starts Kindergarten, full day, and life as I know it will undoubtedly change. I will have all three boys in school and an empty house. Talk about excitment and sadness!!

The good thing for you, is I will be able to schedule more jobs and really set off on Second Chance Charms. The past 7 years has been wonderful! I have all of you to thank for that!! You have allowed me to be a stay at home mother while helping pay a bill or two. Thank you!

Buffet TV unit

Published on April 6, 2019 by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

My grandmother found this piece for sale at Goodwill for me, when I picked it up I fell in love with her serpentine lines and the solidness of this piece. We were looking for something new to place under our TV in the family room since we are renovating the house.

I asked my husband what color and style he wanted and he told me he wanted a sleek black on black look. So that’s what I did for him!

Refinished in a solid look using Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black, stained the top in a brown. Revamped the original hardware in black.
