Bed Frame

This piece is truly special to my client, as it originated from her late parents’ estate- a physical link to her cherished childhood memories. Each scratch and dent carries a story, a whisper of the past that brings warmth and nostalgia. I am passionate about the art of restoration, as I believe that reviving furniture with family history can truly enrich the lives of my clients. This isn’t just about furniture; it’s about the emotions and memories woven into each piece, and I consider it an honor to be part of this meaningful journey.

Refinished in Sherwin Williams’ warm hues of Chateau Brown and Tiki Hut, the transformation involved a two-part process that brilliantly mimics the appearance of a wood stain through an admired technique. By utilizing dry brushing combined with a delicate glaze, I’ve applied one of my favorite faux stain methods. This unique approach ensures that the character of the original piece is preserved while infusing it with a fresh life. Each stroke tells a story, blending the old with the new, creating a striking balance that not only enhances the beauty of the furniture but also pays homage to its history. Through this creative process, I strive to facilitate a sense of healing and connection to the past for my clients, allowing them to embrace their memories while enjoying a renewed piece of art in their homes.

Veneer Desk Top

Do you recall yesterday’s custom piece, Three-Piece Computer Desk? To complete my clients home office he wanted his generic veneer office desk top to look as good as his other pieces! When dealing with veneer painting it can leave the piece to look very dull and a solid boring pile of yuck especially on a desk top. There isn’t wood grain, texture or detail.

To change things up I used two colors, the same ones on his other office pieces to tie everything together. Now once what was a simple plain top now has character!
Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Well-Bred Brown and dry brushed with Agreeable Gray.
