I had this beautiful vintage French Provincial dresser in my studio and wanted to give her a classic simple look that would really enhance the elegance of the piece. I envisioned a white on white aesthetic that would seamlessly blend with the existing decor.

After careful consideration, I chose to refinish it in Sherwin-Williams Westhighland White, a soft and timeless hue that brings warmth and brightness to the room. To complete the transformation, I revamped the original hardware pulls in white, making sure they would complement the fresh finish while maintaining the dresser’s vintage charm. This process not only revitalized the dresser but also added a touch of sophistication and a hint of romanticism to any space, creating a focal point that will captivates anyone who walks in!

Curio Cabinet

This transformation rocks, my clients were over the original finish and plain look of this piece. They wanted change!

This curio cabinet has been revamped in a solid finish using Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and added iron pipe hardware. I also added brackets on the corners of the piece for more character. There are glass shelves for the inside of this piece that my clients held onto. I cant wait to see how she decorates her curio cabinet.

French Provincial Hutch

I was tagged in a facebook post from a neighbor about someone looking for a furniture refinisher for her projects. As I was talking with my new client about her options for her television entertainment unit she mentioned wanting to get a hutch done as well. She found a hutch very fast and decided to start with that project first. A vintage french provincial style china cabinet by Fancher.

She sent me her inspirational photos and basically gave me free range. Oh my stars- I was thrilled! I knew from the moment I saw her when she came into my shop she needed to be glazed, not distressed, for a timeless- classic look.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and glazed in Well-Bred Brown. Original hardware and door wire revamped in bronze. The top of the dresser is stained in Dark Walnut for added gorgeous flair! It will be hard to part with her. I am so thankful my new client allowed me to give this gal a Second Chance!
