King Size Upholstered Headboard

SOLD!!!

Before

This king size French provincial-style headboard has been painted black and distressed.  I had the "Mr", help me by cutting a board so I could add an upholstered piece of fabric to the back of the headboard.  I used polyester filling and batting to give the fabric a more "fluffy" look and then covered it with this rich silver- metallic material.  I love the pin-tuck look of this fabric.

After

This headboard can be screwed to a frame or to your wall.  The height may need to be adjusted, depending on the height of your mattress or bed frame.  And if you are wanting to change the look of your decor or bedding, the material can easily be changed for a new look!  This piece makes a statement and has  look of luxury.  It measures 79"w x approximately 40"h.

I am asking $250 with fabric and $225 without fabric.

White Wash Highboy ~ My new LOVE

SOLD

After (Click to enlarge)

I am now in LOVE with white washing.  That's for today at least, as my friend Dina quoted to me last week, "any way the wind blows" , in reference to my likes or things I get obsessed with.  It changes on a day to day basis sometimes:).  During the last few months of researching and reading endless blogs, I finally tackled something new and I'm so happy with the end result!  

I had no idea what I was going to do with this piece when I first got it.  Due to the large size and it's unique character, I knew it demanded something special but I wasn't sure where to go with it.  But finally, I had a vision and went with it!

Before

This piece measures 22"d x 44"h x 39.5" w.  It has 5 very LARGE drawers for lots of storage room.  It is STURDY and solid wood.  If I had to name this dresser, I would call it "BIG BOY HIGHBOY", referring to its large size.  It's a one of a kind piece!

This piece was sanded down, white washed, dry brushed and an ebony stain was used on the top.  Then it was slightly distressed and finished with some Minwax furniture paste for protection.  I also added some new oil-rubbed bronze hardware.  It's gorgeous and it's looking for a new home!  Before, I change my mind and decide to keep it.....   $475

Martha Buffet

Before

I purchased this piece quite a while ago (last spring actually) but it sat in my garage as I knew it was going to entail A LOT of work.  I finally decided to tackle it.  Ugggg.....
I started out by scraping the old sticky drawer liner off the top and removing all the damaged veneer finish. After that was all removed, I did some filling / patching and then finally, the sanding.

I can finally see some potential!!!

Once that was all complete, I painted it a base color (a light gray miss tint in my garage) and then painted it blue, followed by some distressing.  Truthfully, I actually painted it 3 different colors of blue as the first two colors weren't my exact vision.  My final choice was Martha Stewart "Hosta" and I LOVE IT!

I wanted this piece to look warn and weathered, so I chose not to coat it with a clear coat and might even do some more distressing....Sometimes I am a little obsessive (OK, a lot obsessive), so I am walking away from this piece at least for a few days until I make that decision.  This piece was in some rough shape but a little bit of TLC and now it is old brand new and it is the beginning of my or "our" new office.

I'm doing some redecorating in our master bedroom and adjoining office and will post the transformation once I have finally completed it.  I have tons of ideas and spend probably too much time drooling over decorating pictures and projects and it takes even more time for me to create them!

Classy Black Dining Room Table

SOLD!!!
A client purchased this table on craigslist and asked me to refinish it.  She looked past the warn finish and several watermark stains and saw it's potential.  It is solid wood and includes a leaf for extra seating.  She chose to have it painted black and no distressing. 
This previously warn out table now looks sleek and elegant paired with some new expresso colored dining room chairs she purchased as well.  A mix of old and new and a perfect example of upcycling!

Inherited Buffet....

I wish I had taken a before picture of this piece!  This solid wood buffet has history and my father-in-law loved it.  He purchased it from an antique shop. 
I admit I was not completely thrilled when my husband announced we were inheriting this old buffet from his father.  But after a few changes and upgrades, including the removal of the upper glass cabinet and some decorative metal plates.  Sanding and some ebony stain, it is now sits in my dining room and is a very special piece in our house! 
I hope he is not entirely devistated that I gave it a bit of an update.... and like to think it's better than storing it out in our garage!

 

Pine Sleighbed

SOLD!!!

I had the pleasure of refinishing this headboard and footboard for a friend of mine who was moving her son into a big boy bed! This honey-colored sleighbed takes on a whole new look painted black.  The classic style never outdates and is both rich and rustic with the new bold color and distressing.

And twins make four.... This is a custom project I did for a client expecting twins!!!  The change table I previously posted caught her eye and with amazing luck, I managed to track down an exact match.  This solid wood change table / dresser was refinished with an antique white paint, distressed and finished with a water based clear coat for protection.  Clear glass knobs were added to match the other existing pieces in the nursery and a pefect choice for this baby chic piece!
