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.

Vintage Wardorbe

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 finally finished up the last two chairs to my clients dining set. A total of six Antique Dining Chairs and I am happy to be finished. They turned out beautiful!

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!

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.

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.
