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.

Hutch

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 My client wanted the outdated spindles removed as well as the bottom piece that connects the top of the hutch to said spindles.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.

Bohemian Buffet by Link-Taylor

Published on by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

I am so excited to share this piece built by Link-Taylor! I had it available for customization over at In the Studio and a returning client got her hands on her. When we were discussing ideas I was so thrilled to do something bright, bold and bohemian! This piece will be in her art studio as the center of attention!

She chose the colors Sherwin-Williams Jamaica Bay, Brave Purple and Solaria. I blended the blue and purple in different areas and added yellow as an accent color. Next, I glazed her in brown to bring all these brilliant colors together for a flawless look. Lastly, adding a mix and match of gorgeous knobs from Hobby Lobby to complete her bohemian style.

I really enjoyed this process, its very freeing and forgiving. With no rules, anything goes and I was able to just put myself out there artistically. I hope you love her as much as my client and myself do!

Antique Folding Chair

Published on by Second Chance Charms1 Comment

I love this little folding chair! Even more so the story behind it. My client was out walking her pup and noticed a neighbor throwing this chair out into the trash. She stopped him and ask if she could have it. He replied with “it’s broken, are you sure?”…

“I have a girl who can fix it!” She tells him.

So here we are, fixed his leg and replaced the screws. Refinished him using Sherwin-Williams Black Fox and lightly distressing him. Added a new print fabric that my client picked out. She gave this fellow a second chance, literally saving him from the trash!
