White Dresser

UPDATE...I FOUND A BEFORE PICTURE!!!

This piece is one of our very first dressers we got, it has been buried in my mom's garage for almost a year. We got it at an auction. Of course my mom painted it white...lol. I don't think we would have any other color furniture in our shop if it wasn't for me. My mom likes white. She usually asks me what color to paint a new of furniture, I tell her a color and then she paints it white...lol. White is always classic :)

 

This beautiful piece sold right away. The lady is using it for her TV stand. I just love when furniture is used for something else then what it is "suppose" to be used for. I really like the look a dressers for TV stands. My mom painted the exterior white and left the top and drawers original wood. Some of the hardware was missing on the dresser, so we just added some new knobs and the top two are original.

 

 

 

Pastel Green and White Dresser

 

Hello! It's been awhile since a before and after.  We have been open more than normal for the holidays, so we have been pretty busy. Here is a dresser that we got off of craigslist. This was an interesting craigslist find. They were actually selling everything out of the house, so we scored a lot of neat items at one time, we left with a truck load :)

 

Here is the before...

 

Here is the after...The pictures aren't in the best lighting...

I painted it with a light green (can't think of the color name) and painted the drawers in white (parchment paper is the name of the color). The pulls on the piece were all different and some were broken so I changed them out.

Pink Vanity

Custom Bed

I got an email about a month ago asking if we did custom pieces. She wanted her bed redone. I said normally we don't just because I don't want someone waiting forever to get their piece back, but she was fine with not giving us a deadline. So I was like I can totally do that! She bought one of the first pieces that we ever done! And she wanted the bed to match...hmmm...I was panicking a little, first my mom did most of it, so are we able to do the same technique again??? WELL...LETS TRY IT :)

 

These are the pieces she bought from us before.

 

Here is the before of the bed...

 

 

And here is the after...Not to bad, matches pretty good.

 I had them bring the night stand so we had something to go off of.

Teal Dresser

This is a dresser that I have had for a long time actually. It was my mom's but when I had my son she gave it to me. I never thought anything about the dresser, just a handed down dresser. When my husband and I got into antiques and vintage items, I realized how cool the dresser was. I loved the legs on it and the wheels. My son had it in his room for 9 years. When we bought our house and it didn't fit in any of the bedrooms or any other rooms of the house because it was navy blue (not that I couldn't have painted it to match ;), but when you have had something for a long time and sometimes you just want something different. So with that being said. I was like what am I going to do with a navy blue dresser, I didn't want to strip it down to wood (too much work). I kept thinking what color would look good with navy...looking through the paint...I saw the paint that I painted my son's room (he picked out the color all by himself) I have to say I really like it. So I used it to paint the dresser and distress it to have the navy and wood show through. My mom likes to name the furniture we do, she gets a little attached to them (well a lot attached), so my name for this dresser is the Korbin dresser (my son's name) because it was his to begin with and it is the color of his room. Hopefully someone enjoys its new life and cherishes it the next 9 years (or more) like we did.

 

Here is a before photo, not a great one, but I did remember before finishing it...
