How to Turn an Old Dresser Into Your new Nursery Changing Table

January 9, 2017

I received an email from an expecting mother who was looking for the perfect little changing table for her new nursery.  She had found a small dresser that she was drawn to.  It was already really cute, but she wanted to add a pop of “personality”. 🙂

We decide to go with Annie Sloan’s Paris Grey with a pop of Pure White on the original hardware.

I topped it off with some light distressing and two coats of Annie Sloan clear wax.

How cute is this changing table!!!

Large Graphite Black Dresser

April 19, 2016

Out of the blue, I received a phone call from a gentleman looking for a dresser for his new bachelor pad.  He saw one of our ads online and was actually inquiring about a piece that had just recently sold.  He said he was looking for a large dresser and preferred it to be black.  I had the perfect piece in mind! I sent him a picture of one of our larger dressers in inventory and he agreed it was exactly what he was looking for.

For this dresser, I went with a mixture of 3/4 Annie Sloan Graphite and 1/4 General Finishes Lamp Black. Your probably wondering why the added Lamp Black. Well…I find Annie Sloan’s Graphite to be a gorgeous color, but also one of the hardest of Annie Sloan’s colors to work with if I plan on spraying the piece.  By adding the Lamp Black, the finish seems to be a tad bit richer in color and much easier to spray.

Two coats later and rocking the original hardware!

I’m so happy he agreed to me staining the inside drawers instead of painting them to match the rest of the dresser.   I used General Finishes Java Gel Stain to richen up the already beautiful natural wood.  The end results turned out amazing.

Gorgeous Custom Blend Buffet/Sideboard

March 29, 2016

I was wandering through Goodwill (like usual lol) when I came across this huge curio cabinet tucked away in the furniture section.  I knew if I took the top of the cabinet off, that the bottom would make a perfect buffet or fun tv console and add a statement to the new owners room.

I decided to use General Finishes’ “Linen” Milk Paint on this piece, which is super light and airy and exactly what I was looking for.

It’s amazing what a good coat of paint can do to an old piece of furniture!

To add a little more life to this old piece, instead of painting the top I choose to stain it with General Finishes’ “Java” Gel Stain.  This is my go-to stain in my work room!  It just seems to look absolutely gorgeous on just about anything.

It definitely added a rich finished look to this antique piece.

I then freshened the entire piece up by applying a coat of stain to the inside as well.

Keeping the original hardware added to the uniqueness and antiqueness of the cabinet.

Mid Century Mod Oh My!

July 28, 2015

I happened upon an estate sale the other month, it was like finding GOLD! I fell in love with so many pieces in that family’s home.  There was a set of two cute little solid wood classic Mid Century Modern side tables. I knew they needed to make it in our truck!

IMG_4534

Perfect storage piece…

Original hardware…

IMG_4314

I decided to go with painting these vintage bad boys an Annie Sloan deep creamy Aubusson Blue.

Screen Shot 2015-07-28 at 12.28.47 PM

I could tell by the feel of the wood and that it had a glossy finish to it, that the Annie Sloan chalk paint may take a few more coats to stick, so I decided to save time and lightly sand the pieces so as not to have any many problems with my coats of paint.

Rarely do you have to do any prep work when using Annie Sloan chalk paint (that’s one of the reasons I love it so much), but I knew this was one of those times.

Two coats later…

I decided to keep the original hardware…just cleaned them up a tad.

Each of their tops open perfectly to reveal hidden extra storage inside.

These are classic pieces of antique furniture that will definitely give a pop of color and be the conversation pieces in any room.

Measurements:

H: 22.5″
L: 23″
W: 17.5″

$250 for the pair…contact me for details.

On to the next project… 🙂

This Dresser is a Statement Piece!

February 1, 2015

As we made our move into our new home, it was time to get ride of all the “bachelor” furniture my husband had collected.  First to go was the big green nasty couch that every one of his friends has slept on.  It had to go! Next was the old rugs, worn out kitchen items and of course the half suede half leather furniture every bachelor pad in Atlanta had…needed to go!

Once we started to look at our master bedroom, we realized there really wasn’t anything to get rid of, but instead to the contrary, we NEEDED furniture.  We really didn’t have any storage, so I set out to find the perfect dresser.  I wanted something original and unique and I definitely wanted it to be a statement piece.  I looked at every furniture store and garage sale in town, and one day I ran across it.  It was a diamond in the rough.  A guy was selling it on craigslist for $35.  I had to have it!

With our room being a beautiful grey, taupe and shades of blue I decided Annie Sloan’s Aubusson Blue was the bold way to go!

As I started to paint the top of the dresser, I instantly fell in love with the color!  The deep beautiful rich blue was transforming this piece right before my eyes.

After two coats of Aubusson blue and two coats of Annie Sloan clear wax….the $35 dresser I had bought just the day before had turned into a priceless piece right before my eyes!

 


I even decided to keep the original hardware.  I thought it really complimented it.

This was the perfect addition to our eclectically beautiful master bedroom! Now it’s on to the next project….

Gorgeous J.K. Rishel Buffet/Credenza

February 1, 2015

I can’t believe I got this credenza/buffet for FREE! Granted, it didn’t look anything like it does now, but to find a J.K. Rishel piece that someone literally was ready to throw away was sooo awesome!  It may have even made my month!

I decided to paint this stunningly beautiful J.K. Rishel, solid wood buffet/credenza/sideboard in Annie Sloan chalk paint “Old White”.  I then lightly antiqued it and topped it off with two coats of Annie Sloan clear wax for a beautiful vintage/distressed finish and for extra protection.

 

This piece has very detailed drawers and edges and all seven drawers move and slide with ease. There is an abundance of storage with this piece, including shelving that would work perfect for any needs.

 

I so wish I had taken pictures of this baby before we brought it back to life.  This truly was one of my fave “reclaimed” projects!
