Grey Waterfall Chest of Drawers

This is an older chest if drawers that was well made but had some stickers on the front and needed a new paint job. I love this slate grey color and the darker tones really bring out the accents in the dresser. I also used a black glaze to antique the accents on the ends and on the handles.

 

 

 

 

Cream Dresser - Cute & Little

This dresser started in a dark beat up wood color. The drawers were in good condition and it had real potential. I painted it an antique white, and I had to replace some of the hardware. I also very lightly antiqued the whole thing, the wood grain was very pronounced on both the top and the side of the piece, and I also used antiquing to make the accents on the fronts of the drawers more visible.

 

 

Little Lion Man

FOR SALE

$55

I picked this table up at a yard sale, like most things. I loved the lion heads on it, and the small metal wheels! What neat little details! Maintaining that and being sure they stood out, I went with a luxurious creamy white and antiqued the edges so the detail of the frame would really show. 

Chandelier Dresser

I went for broke on this dresser. I actually have a client that's been playing with the idea of scrollwork on her pieces, so I took the opportunity to test it out. I freehanded the template design and cut it like you would a paper snowflake to make a symmetrical stencil. I then ragged it onto the surface. I antiqued the entire dresser with a glaze, moving along with a dry brush and blending (I was top blender in art school, haha, not to toot my own horn . . .)

I think this turned out far better than anything I've done so far. I love it immensely!!

Antiqued China Hutch

This was a very large undertaking but I am very excited with the results. I painted this an antique white then I lightly antiqued it with a brown glaze. Amazing transformation. Check out the before and after page to witness the transformation.

 

 

 

 

Antiqued White Dresser

This was an antique store find. It is a very solid dresser with great construction. I used a special walnut stain on the top with an antique white color on the body and then went back and antiqued the entire thing.

Gorgeous Teal End Table

This is a two drawer teal end table. This color just looks so great, and really accents the lines on this table.
