2018 Portfolio

Second Chance Charms had a wonderful 2018 year! Refinishing a total of 78 pieces, fifteen of them were inventory selections and one donation piece! This year brought welcomed challenges and some old family heirlooms!

Thank you! Thank you!

There is no line between fine art and illustration; there is no high or low art; there is only art, and it comes in many forms.
James Gurney

Looking back on 2018 I was able to finish my Boutique Room project, I was featured in The Happy Home Newsletter as well as Featured in VoyagePhoenix! Last year my goal was Illustration. I didn’t get to do videos (camera shy) but I did try to show tutorials via photos on Behind the Scenes Furniture Group on Facebook. This year I want to Focus. I want to focus on myself, my family and how this passion makes me incredibly happy and humbled.

Thank you for being apart of my journey, supporting my business and allowing me to do what I love!

French Provincial Bedroom Set

My favorite gray colors came together and I couldn’t be happier!

Available for purchase click over to Shop Selections to view details!

French provincial style bedroom set perfect for any room! This set includes a dresser, mirror and two nightstands. Refinished in a two tone look with glazed. The main base color is Sherwin-Williams Dovetail Gray and the lighter gray color is Reposed Gray. Glazed in Black Fox (which is a darker gray color). Original hardware revamped in Nickel and glazed in Black for an added POP of beauty!

Cottage Chic Bedroom Set

I have TONS of photos of this bedroom set that I am ABSOLUTELY in love with!! Scroll through and enjoy!

A bedroom set by American Drew Furniture including a 10 drawer dresser, two nightstands, and a headboard that can fit either a full or queen bedframe.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and lightly distressed in the perfect spots highlighting the curves of these beauty’s. When I sanded down the tops of these pieces I couldn’t help but admire their natural pine grain and knots. I stained the tops in Wood Classics Pickled White to soften them up for a perfect Cottage Chic vibe. Original hardware revamped in white.

Before:

Armoire

One more piece to go to complete my client’s master bedroom set she inherited from her mother and father.

Refinished in a solid look using Sherwin-Williams Black Bean. The top of the unit as well as the top of the middle section (even though it’s one solid piece) are stained in Armoire Hickory. Original hardware cleaned up. Stay tuned in for the matching mirror.

Recent Highlights August

Most recent projects! If you missed any of these beauty’s check out our portfolio and click the link below to get to the individual blog post. Right now I am working on the matching armoire to the dresser and nightstand bedroom set shown here. Along with a couple more custom pieces and one inventory piece! Stay tuned in!

Retro Dresser and Nightstand

Last month I finished a retro nightstand, read here to view him: Retro Nightstand. I got my hands on the nightstands’ twin brother and his dresser. These pieces are such delicate items as their tops are a thin sheet of veneer. My client wanted them stained with a solid finished base. Sanding these tops are not only challenging but time consuming. One wrong move can destroy them. They have such a gorgeous design to them that needed to be showcased where the previous stain was too dark and hid their beauty.

Refinished in a solid look using Sherwin-Williams Black Bean and tops are stained in Armoire Hickory. Original hardware cleaned up. Stay tuned in for the matching mirror and armoire!

 

Before:

Retro Nightstand

I’m excited to get my hands on my clients’ parents retro bedroom set. We value and cherished items that are left behind after loved ones passing. Having their furniture refinished to match your style is just a great way to not only repurpose those memories but to also enjoy them!

First up, one of the nightstands. In total there is another nightstand, a dresser, and an armoire. Stay tuned in as I will be sharing those later as I get my hands on them, one piece at a time.

Refinished in a solid finish using Sherwin-Williams Black Bean. The veneer top stained in Armoire Hickory. Keeping with the hardware that my client had changed out a few years back, polished and cleaned.

Before:

Nightstands

I inquired these two nightstands that were DIY projects that didn’t turn out so great for the previous person. Both painted in black but the sheens were different. A returning client saw my post on Facebook and wanted them for her self and to be refinished in something I haven’t done. Pearl. Challenge accepted!

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Snowbound and coated with Faux Impressions Metallic Pearl for that shine. The top has been sanded down to raw wood and coated with the same Metallic Pearl. These beauties are really amazing! We finished the set with adding Antique Silver Mercury Scallop Knobs from Hobby Lobby. Love!!

Before:

French Provincial Set

Even though these nightstands do not match in structure, having them refinished in the same style sets them off to be a set. French Provincial his and her nightstands along with a tall chest of drawers dresser.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Wall Street. Glazed in Tricorn Black to pop out all these lovely details these pieces have to offer. Original pulls and knobs revamped in Nickel and also glazed in Tricorn Black.

Before:

French Provincial End Table

A returning client brought me a French Provincial End Table that needed to go bold and beautiful. She is in the moving process and wanted to go bright in her new home! The before pictures may look familiar, its a piece I had refinished a long time ago. During his move, the handlers got a little careless. I had to fix the darwer, as it was cracked from something heavy falling on him.

Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Tangerine and lightly glazed in Turkish Coffee brown. Hardware revamped in bronze.
