Armoire

Published on by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

This piece belongs to my mother and she has it in her courtyard to house the pool floaties, sunscreen and miscellaneous garden supplies. It was beautiful before, but she wanted a statement piece outback! How can I argue!?

Not to give away my age, but I remember this armoire in our family room back when I was in Highschool. We would watch our movies and play Nintendo around this beast.

My mother wanted the design decal removed as well as the CD holders and random things used for TV boxes and what-nots. Now it has even more space for her outside living supplies. Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Rockwood Terra Cotta. Using Nifty Turquoise and June Day for a blended artisy feel. I glazed the entire piece in Van Duke Brown to tie it all in. Adding new black hardware from Homedepot ties this gal in nicely.

Steamer Trunk with Victorian Arch Top

Published on by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

This steamer trunk belongs to my clients grandmother and has been past down the generations. She wanted to give her heirloom a makeover to match her home and style.

Refinishing the inside in a brown stain using Wood Classics Weathered Teak and sealing will keep the inside healthy for more years to come. I blended three colors for the body to create a bohemian technique. I used Sherwin-Williams Open Air, Lakeshore and Oceanside. Once completed I glazed her in a mixture of both Tricorn Black and Oceanside for a darker aged blue. Highlighting a few spots with Open Air on the base and Victorian Arch Top really popped this beauty out!

“Steady as a clock, busy as a bee, and cheerful as a cricket” -Martha Washington. This detailed dresser by Bassett Furniture is refinished in Sherwin-Williams Useful Grey and blended with white. Distressed for a farmhouse charm and glazed in brown to pop out all the nooks and crannies! Original hardware revamped in Oil Rubbed Bronze.

This lovely lady was in my inventory and I painted her up how I saw fit. First Dibs Email went out on Saturday and she sold within minutes!

Bohemian Buffet by Link-Taylor

Published on by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

I am so excited to share this piece built by Link-Taylor! I had it available for customization over at In the Studio and a returning client got her hands on her. When we were discussing ideas I was so thrilled to do something bright, bold and bohemian! This piece will be in her art studio as the center of attention!

She chose the colors Sherwin-Williams Jamaica Bay, Brave Purple and Solaria. I blended the blue and purple in different areas and added yellow as an accent color. Next, I glazed her in brown to bring all these brilliant colors together for a flawless look. Lastly, adding a mix and match of gorgeous knobs from Hobby Lobby to complete her bohemian style.

I really enjoyed this process, its very freeing and forgiving. With no rules, anything goes and I was able to just put myself out there artistically. I hope you love her as much as my client and myself do!
