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!

Antique Dining Chairs

I finally finished up the last two chairs to my clients dining set. A total of six Antique Dining Chairs and I am happy to be finished. They turned out beautiful!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Software and glazed in Cyberspace. My client picked out a cream and grey damask fabric from Joanns Fabric Store. Finally adding a dark grey cord to match and to finish them off!

What these chairs looked like before (this is a picture of the captain chair)

French Provincial Hutch

I had this gorgeous French Provincial Hutch from Basset Furniture Company over in Inventory ready to be customized. A returning client picked her up and wanted a bright bold statement for her dining area.

Refinished the body of this hutch in Sherwin-Williams Warm Stone and the inside only in Mariner for a pop! Glazed the piece in Sealskin to highlight those grooves. Original hardware revamped in Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Octagon End Tables

I had these awesome octagon end tables over In The Studio ready to be customized and a returning client picked them up.

She wanted a pop of color in her family room and I am so excited for her! Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Cloudburst and glazed in Web Gray. Original hardware revamped in Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Antique Dining Table

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.

Hutch

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.

Lexington Victorian Sampler Dresser and Mirror

Such a gorgeous dresser my client has!! She refinished it sometime ago and wanted a new look. This dresser by Lexington has grooves, crevices and curves in all the right places!

My client is ordering hardware, so unfortunately I will have to post this gorgeous piece without her completely finished. Trust me when I say, its very hard for me to do that. Haha

Nonetheless I will still stage her in all her beauty! Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Gray Matters and glazed in Cyberspace. I did not stain the top as my client was happy with how it was before, a beautiful dark finish. I did clean up a few troubled areas for her on the stain that was near the body of the piece.

Farmhouse Nightstands by Bassett Furniture
