The Cutest Vintage Chest of Drawers

October 14, 2015

I’m just amazed at the things people look at as “trash”!!!

Sooooo I’m on Craigslist one Sunday morning and under the “Free” section I see that there is an Estate Sale up the street where the new owner has decided to give away EVERYTHING left in the house for free! Yep…I said it…FREE!

Thinking “This must be a scam”, I reluctantly drag Chris out with the truck to see if there is anything worth grabbing. We pull up to a very old, run down, deserted looking house and actually contemplated turning around. Luckily Chris was there because he convinced me to wait in the truck while he took a quick look inside. He wasn’t inside more than a few minutes when he came back out, turned off the ignition and told me I wouldn’t believe what was left inside as “trash”. Needless to say, we ended up loading up the truck with some amazing treasures.

I decided to start on this vintage chest of drawers first. The detailing on this piece was gorgeous!

I could see Annie Sloan “Old White” Chalk Paint in it’s future. So I went to work!

The drawers definitely needed some love!

I decided to give them a fresh coat of Varathane Kona stain. Not only did this help to hide the years of wear and tear, but it also freshened up the smell in these antique drawers.

I wanted to top the whole piece off with a light brown glaze finish to add to that vintage look I pictured. I waxed the entire piece first with Annie Sloan Clear Wax so that it would lay a good foundation for the dark glaze. If you don’t wax your piece first, the dark glaze can come out looking very “muddy”.

I then mixed up my glaze which was a combination of half mineral spirits and half dark wax.

I applied my glaze with a cheap paint brush from the dollar store and used a clean rag to then wipe the glaze back off. It left my piece with that extra vintage flare I was looking for.

What a perfect vintagie cute Chest of Drawers!

On to the next piece!

What a Perfect Little Desk

July 31, 2015

You guessed it…I was at yet another garage sale (can you believe it!) and I came across this cute little desk. It was a tad bit boring, but had so much potential. I couldn’t wait to get it home to give it a new lease on life!

It was so cute, I decided to go with Annie Sloan’s Old White chalk paint on the “body”…

and then for a pop of color and originality, I added one of my Faves…Annie Sloan Graphite to all of the original hardware as well as the top of the desk.

I think it turned out GREAT! What do you think???

On to the next project… 🙂

A Dresser and Chest of Drawers to Die for!

July 2, 2015

I received a phone call from one of the nicest young ladies the other day. She was calling in regards to another set of furniture I had just finished. Unfortunately, it had already sold. We discussed what she was looking for, and the search began. A Dresser and a Chest of Drawers were next on her decorating mind for her master bedroom. She wanted something cute and unique and a tad shabby chic.

I wondered upon an Estate Sale not too far from my home and there they were. The perfect pieces! I immediately sent her over pictures of both the Dresser and the Chest of Drawers for her approval. I knew they looked a little bland and boring, but hoped she would see through their current state. Needless to say, I went home with both pieces that day.

The next step was to have my customer send over some inspiration pictures so I had some idea of what she’d like these pieces to look like. Luckily for me, she knew exactly what she wanted and supplied me with great pictures for inspiration.

We decided to paint both pieces Annie Sloan’s classic Old White chalk paint…

Carefully painting around the edges of the drawers…

To really make the pieces original, we added a custom pop of color to both tops and hardware. She wanted a pretty “bluish grey”, so I mixed a little Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue with some French Linen chalk paint until I had the perfect shade of blue/grey.

After a little distressing and two coats of Annie Sloan Clear Wax, the two pieces came together perfectly!

On to the next project… 🙂

Our Biggest Order Yet!

May 14, 2015

A couple stopped by the other month looking for a conference table for their new design studio they were in the process of opening. They loved the design of our signature reclaimed wood table, but as we were talking, they mentioned that they were also looking for large desks for each new office in their studio. Of course Chris quickly said, “Oh well I could just build those too!” The couple talked it over with him and shared their vision of what they wanted their studio’s vibe to be, and next thing you know we are not only being hired to build their conference table, but also three beautiful desks to add to the unique vision they had for their new business’ home.

Large, sturdy, reclaimed wood desks is what they were looking for. They wanted each of them to be different, but resemble each other in design. Accents of distressed metal, beautiful stained wood, bright pops of color and the list went on! They had us so excited to go to work!

Not only did we build three uniquely beautiful design studio ready desks, but we also made sure the office had our signature Reclaimed Karma conference table and the coolest matching bench!

This would be our biggest delivery yet….

Each piece fit perfectly and looked amazing in their space!

Pretty In Pink

March 24, 2015

Got a call the other day from one of my dearest girlfriends who was looking for a cute little desk for her bedroom. She asked me if I thought I could find her one to fix up and make it her own. I of course said, “Absolutely!” I immediately started out on my search for a petite desk with potential.

The next day, Chris and I happened to stop by IKEA for a few supplies, and on the way home we made our usual “peak ins” at the neighborhood Goodwill stores. I always beeline straight to the furniture section. That day, there just happened to be a little desk left behind that was chipped up, scratched up, stained and missing a knob.

It definitely needed to be saved! I immediately took a picture of the desk and sent it directly over to my girlfriend for the OK. 5 minutes later, the desk was hers. 🙂 Now I just needed to get to work.

My girlfriend knew exactly what she wanted. She was a pink girl at heart, so she decided to go with Annie Sloan’s French Linen for the desk and a custom pink top with matching striped drawers. I knew her taste, so this was nothing new to me. Her kitchen chairs were pink…her living room coffee table was pink…so of course she would have a pop of pink in her bedroom/office! How fun! I couldn’t wait to get started.

I started the desk project off by cleaning up the desk. Yes I am definitely all about having unique pieces with imperfections all throughout my house, but this desk still needed some work to get it ready for painting. The top of the desk and a few of the drawers were showing their age by the crackling of the paint. Before I started painting, I made sure to fill in the crackled top with wood filler and sanded it down for a smooth finish. If I would have painted directly over that imperfection, the paint would never have went on smooth and would forever continue to show cracking wear in sporadic areas
