Little Side Table

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

This quaint side table has had many layers of love in her life in the form of paint layers, each telling a story of transformation and cherished memories. My client wanted to match it to a beautiful dresser she has in her Guest Room, creating a cohesive look in her home that reflects her personal style, which leans toward vintage charm.

Back in November of 2015, my client purchased an exquisite antique dresser from my Shop Selections that I had for sale, a piece that captured her heart at first sight with its intricate carvings and timeless design. Still captivated by the dresser’s elegance, she received a sentimental side table from her mother-in-law, who believed that every piece of furniture should carry a tale worth sharing.

Although there isn’t a dedicated post for the Antique Dresser, I do have a staged picture from 2015- a beautiful reminder of how far I’ve come in my journey of growth, creativity, and passion.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Haven and glazed in a rich brown, this beautiful piece has been carefully restored to highlight its natural beauty and unique style. It adds a bright touch to my client’s guest bedroom. Every detail, from its smooth texture to its subtle sheen, creates a cozy and elegant atmosphere. By choosing colors that match the overall decor, this piece serves both as a functional item and an eye-catching focal point that guests will appreciate.

Coffee Table

My favorite furniture pieces are those that come from returning clients, as they often carry a special story and connection. Recently, a lovely client reached out to me, recalling a beautiful curio cabinet I refinished for her back in 2017, which you can view at Curio Cabinet. With her recent move to Prescott, she wanted to lighten up the space where the coffee table would be placed, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere in her home. Alongside the coffee table, there is also a stylish TV console featuring a white base and a grey-stained top, and she sought my guidance on what would work best for her updated decor.

After discussing her vision for the space, I suggested going with a white finish and glazing it with grey tones to harmonize with the existing furniture, ensuring a smooth and cohesive transition throughout the area. For this project, I chose to refinish the piece in Sherwin Williams Westhighland White, a classic and fresh color, and then applied a delicate glaze of Dorian Gray to enhance the warmth and depth, achieving an incredible farmhouse chic vibe that perfectly complements her home.

Piano and Bench

I finally got my hands on this piano! My client had a color consult a few years back with me and kept her eyes on this refinishing dream. FINALLY! Finally I was able to make it a reality for her and her family. This piano came from a family member and was a little worn from the years.

Refinishing the base in Sherwin-Williams Ivory Lace and glazed in Tiki Hut. Hardware revamped in oil rubbed bronze. The old felt was torn and falling off, I added a different color, black, breathable screen like material to give her a more modern look!

Next up for this client is her dining table. You recall the buffet, hutch and chairs? I still have 2 more chairs to complete but at least I feel like we are getting somewhere with her dining area makeover! Slowly but surely!

This gorgeous set has two leafs that was also refinished, but wasn’t set up when we took pictures in her home. This table was too massive for me to move into my studio for staging, but seeing it all together with the other pieces in my clients home made me smile nonetheless!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Software and glazed in Cyberspace. The top is stained in Minwax Weathered Teak.

Buffet

“Oh my gosh! It’s so beautiful. I can’t believe I contemplated getting rid of it and buying a new piece for my space.”

Really in love with this gal! My client had a vision and although she didn’t quite push me out of my comfort zone, I found a challenge worth the reward.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Anonymous and glazed in one shade darker using Porpoise. (The challenge in glazing one shade darker was I couldn’t tell how much of the glaze I was applying and taking off. When paint is wet its lighter. So during the glazing process I felt like I was reapplying the same base color. Talk about nervousness!) The top is stained using Varathane Wood Stain in Weathered Oak. The original hardware is cleaned up, however, the two long plates were more gold. In order to match them to the pulls I sprayed the two plates in Oil Rubbed Bronze and wet sanded them to bring a little gold out to match the existing pulls.

A few weeks back I refinished a chair and a buffet that matches this hutch. My client has many more chairs and a dining table that I will be work on soon. Meep!!!

Refinishing these custom pieces in my clients style is so satisfying. I love her taste and can’t wait to see her dining room all set up once completed!

Using the color Software by Sherwin-Williams and glazing in Cyberspace. I stained the top in Weathered Teak. Added new hardware that my client purchased, Crystal Knobs matched with silver plates changes this piece to the better! Like most of my customs, I will have my clients keep the glass at home, in this case, two glass doors and glass shelves are at home waiting to be put back in.
