Mid-Century Lane Furniture Cedar Trunk
This gorgeous Mid-Century Cedar Trunk by Lane Furniture was my clients mothers and she had it in her home for a while. Never matching her style she was ready to do something with it. Second Chance Charms to the rescue!
After many years of wear and tear my client wanted the wood inlays on the top to come back to life. As well as getting rid of the water marks and chips on the veneer this handsome fellow was in need of a restoration on the top!
Refinishing the base in Sherwin-Williams Burlap, heavily glazing in Turkish Coffee. I restored the top in Minwax Early American. Revamped the original hardware and lock in Oil Rubbed Bronze. I noticed the hardware was very similar to the inlays, which I thought was super special!
Pedestal Pub Table
Love the mixture of both metal and wood on this pedestal pub table! My client is renovating her kitchen and wanted to restore her breakfast nook table to complement her new cabinets.
Before, the wood table top was stained with a red undertone. After years of use, and with the help of newly kitchen cabinets installation to knotty alder, my client wanted to change her pedestal pub table to a warm brown stain for contrast.
Refinished in Minwax Specail Walnut was the perfect stain for this project!
Antique Record Player Cabinet
This was an exciting piece to be apart of, it didn’t involve refinishing but a nice restoration. My client bought this from her neighbor who bought it from a garage sale. Restoring this ol gal to her glory days involved sanding down the top and re-staining it in a custom Chestnut stain to match. The rest of this girl needed a nice deep clean to bring her back to life. I was told all her record parts work beautifully and now she too can sing a new tune with her Second Chance restoration!
Before pictures:
Navy Armoire
Simple doesn’t mean easy! A sleek solid finish for this transformation! (I find that it is hard to photograph dark blues, or maybe its my camera phone.) Nonetheless, this piece turned out great! A dark navy color matched to a shelf my client provided. New gold dipped white feather pulls are absolutely lovely!
Navy End Table
This wonderful gal is up for sale! Click on over to Shop Selections to view details.
Refinished in a Navy blue and original hardware updated in gold for a nice pop! The body and top have been distressed in the natural wear and tear areas. This piece has a small crack and chip. This is the first piece where I left her as is, instead of fixing and covering her stories, I chose to leave them hoping that someone will love it as much as I do!
French Provincial Chest of DrawersÂ
My client picked up a french provincial bedroom set and wanted an updated look. Clean and classic. Starting her bedroom transformation with the tall boy, refinished in a solid look using Sherwin-Williams Extra White. Original hardware revamped in gold.
2015 Portfolio
Second Chance Charms had a wonderful 2015 year! From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you. Your support, whether you are a Like on a page, a fellow artist or a client, has given me confidence.
To be successful at something, not only must you enjoy it but you have to be great at it. Your request for unique finishes helped me challenge my artistic side. I matured as a refinisher from achieving customers desired results. Fear is behind me and endless possibilities lay before me.
Inhale confidence. Exhale doubt.
I am looking forward to 2016.
