Little Side Table

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.

Hutch

One solid massive piece that I needed help moving around to refinish. Once I took off the doors and removed the shelves it lighten the load a little but still a heavy piece!

My client had her colors picked out when she dropped her hutch off and knew exactly what she wanted. Refinished in Sherwin-Williams Software and glazed in Cyberspace. Original hardware revamped in Black. Simple. Gorgeous.

Client Photos

I enjoy the process of refreshing, from start to finish. The prep all the way through to the staging. What really makes my heart skip a beat, is when you send me your client photos!

You can tag me in most media platforms, as well as send me your photos and I can share them here for the world to see! Here are a few, and as I get more I will update them on this post and place this post up top for easy access. Enjoy!

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.

Antique Dining Chairs

Three more custom chairs finished! Two more to go.

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!

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.

My client enjoys her vacation cruises, so much so that she buys a piece of art from her many travels on ship. She wanted her bedroom dresser to resemble her found memories, so Maureen Flanigan put her artistic touch on her dresser.
