Coffee Table

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

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.

Vintage Wardorbe

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Sherwin-Williams color Contented, a subtle yet stunning color, was perfect for giving my clients’ vintage wardrobe cabinet a fresh Second Chance. In choosing this hue, we were able to evoke a sense of tranquility and charm, which beautifully complements the cabinet’s classic design.

Keeping the top a natural wood stain not only highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain but also adds an element of warmth and authenticity to this piece. Revamping the metal extension hanger bar and matching it with the door hinges are fine details that enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the wardrobe. This careful attention to detail reflects a commitment to preserving the integrity of a family heirloom while ensuring it serves a practical purpose in modern life.

My client is thrilled with her revitalized wardrobe, knowing that it will continue to hold cherished memories and can be used for many years to come, blending the past with the present.

I absolutely love this color grey- it’s a beautiful masculine color that exudes sophistication and style, making it perfect for anyone looking to elevate their living space. Refinished in Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze, this piece showcases a deep, rich hue that is both modern and timeless, seamlessly blending with both contemporary and traditional decor. With these streamlined angles and straight edges, I felt compelled to ensure that the base and legs were the center of attention, drawing the eye and creating an impressive silhouette that commands presence in any room. Sanding them down meticulously and sealing them for a natural look was exactly what I envisioned; this process not only highlights the craftsmanship but also enhances the overall appeal, making it an exquisite addition to any decor that speaks to those who appreciate quality and elegance.

The combination of quality materials and thoughtful design speaks volumes about the artistry involved in creating this stunning furniture piece, providing not just functionality but a statement of style. Original knobs revamped in oil rubbed bronze for a masculine feel add the perfect finishing touch, ensuring that this piece isn’t just furniture; it’s a conversation starter and a testament to refined taste.

Hutch

Published on by Second Chance CharmsLeave a comment

Challenge accepted! My client wanted the outdated spindles removed as well as the bottom piece that connects the top of the hutch to said spindles. This was a significant design choice to modernize the look of the piece, as those spindles had long been out of style and detracted from its overall elegance.

With a little saw action, I carefully cut away the old sections, ensuring not to damage the integrity of the hutch itself. Following this, I used high-quality wood filler to smooth over the gaps left behind, which required a bit of patience and attention to detail. Once the filler dried, I sanded the entire surface to achieve a flawless finish. The result was so seamless that you could never tell such a thing existed before.

The transformation was completed with a stunning new coat of Sherwin-Williams Oakmoss green, a color that adds a touch of modern sophistication while still maintaining a warm, inviting feel. To further elevate the aesthetic, I added new gold handles that not only complement the green finish perfectly but also introduce a touch of elegance and a contemporary flair.

This gorgeous piece is now ready for her modern debut, sure to impress anyone who sees it. With its fresh look and thoughtful updates, this hutch perfectly balances vintage charm with a modern twist, making it a standout addition to my client’s home.

Armoire

This piece belongs to my mother and she has it in her courtyard to house the pool floaties, sunscreen and miscellaneous garden supplies. It was beautiful before, but she wanted a statement piece outback! How can I argue!?

Not to give away my age, but I remember this armoire in our family room back when I was in Highschool. We would watch our movies and play Nintendo around this beast.

My mother wanted the design decal removed as well as the CD holders and random things used for TV boxes and what-nots. Now it has even more space for her outside living supplies. Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Rockwood Terra Cotta. Using Nifty Turquoise and June Day for a blended artisy feel. I glazed the entire piece in Van Duke Brown to tie it all in. Adding new black hardware from Homedepot ties this gal in nicely.

Buffet by Collezione Europa

Love the curves of this piece! My client liked how it was originally but wanted to get rid of the flowers and have the stain be more of an espresso rather then a light brown.

I got my hands on General Finishes gel stain and knew this product would be my best bet on making this piece look stained without having to sand down the entire piece.

Painting the outside base in Sherwin-Williams Java for a wood color to give my gel stain a base to work with was the first step. I refinished the inside of the unit in Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black per my clients request. Adding multiple layers of General Finishes gel stain in Java, building up layers, creating definition like wood grain was a fun process. Once cured I glazed the entire piece in Sherwin-Williams Tricorn black to darken the stain and to glaze in all of the nooks and crannies to make more of an impact in the lines.

My client is getting new knobs, but in the meantime I revamped the hinges in Black and left the original knobs for my staged photos.
