Sage Green :: Custom Color

A new client contacted us in hopes of having her current bedroom furniture updated.  She brought us two nightstands, ones that had been in her husband's family for a little bit of time.  

Here is how they looked in original form:

She requested a custom sage green color with some white accents around the drawer trim.  After painting, I distressed and rubbed them down with some dark wax.

Here is how they turned out!

I'm anxious to see how they look in her bedroom!

Entryway Cabinet

Here is a quick before & after for you to check out!  

A new client of mine brought over this piece, she's using it as an entryway cabinet ... 

We decided on Annie Sloan Duck Egg, distressing and dark wax.  The top was a bit beat up so I sanded it down, re-stained and then actually did a whitewash treatment on it to give it that beautiful aged look.

Here is how her guests will now be greeted when they stop over for a visit!

Duck Egg never disappoints.   :)

Black & White Glamour!

My dear friend Alia, of Alia Morgan Photography is crazy talented.  She recently took newborn photos of my little Grayson and they turned out fantastic, like, I love them all.  

She was recently gifted an antique buffet that's been in her husband's family for quite some time.  So, like all good friends would do - we bartered services.  She takes pictures of my new little man ... and I paint furniture for her. Who doesn't love a good trade?!

We went back and forth on colors and ideas until we finally decided on a black and Annie Sloan's Old White color combo. Such a unexpected color choice and I love everything about it!

Here is how it turned out ... 

Simply beautiful. 

And ... I'll leave you with a few of the lovely photos she took of our Grayson.

Again, simply beautiful.  Make sure to visit her website and her facebook page!

Statement Dresser

Every room needs a statement piece of furniture.  My client's bedroom will now have one.
Here is a dresser we just finished up for her.  Painted in Annie Sloan's Pure White - with a surprise pop of color inside the door. Lovely!

For those interested, here is how the dresser looked when I found it at Good Will!

Antique Accent Table

Sometimes it's the smaller pieces of furniture that make the biggest statement in a room.  

A new client dropped off this table.  It's such a unique, fun piece with so much detail and character.  It used to be her grandfathers.  With a little paint, distressing and wax - we updated the look so she can now proudly showcase it in her new home. 

I love success stories like this - they melt my heart and make me love what I do even that much more.   :)
