Natural Isn't Always Best


{SOLD}

This buffet has been refinished in Paris Grey chalk paint (AS), distressed and coated with clear wax. These french provincial pieces are always our favourites when it comes to giving them a make over. We think they are so dated and ugly(sorry if you like them in their more "natural" state...I don't mean to offend you :)) and then when they get a fresh coat of paint they look amazing. Sometimes it is hard to believe that it is the same piece of furniture when we are finished with it. Natural isn't always the best! Just ask my hair dresser, she'll tell you, sometimes the natural look just has to go!

Dimensions: 62.5"W x 18"D x 31.5"H

Practice What We Preach Table


{SOLD}

This coffee table has been refinished in Old White chalk paint (AS), distressed and coated with clear wax. Creativity is messy...and when we are in the shop we are VERY messy. You should have seen it...or maybe not. We could barely move between pieces. We even brought a few pieces in the house to give us more space...and we still didn't have enough room. I find it funny because at home we are always telling our kids to clean up after themselves...good thing they don't see us at work very often. We don't practice what we preach in the shop. Check out this table. It's just as pretty as the other one we did this week.

Dimensions: 52"W x 34"D x 19"H

Share the Happiness Dresser


{SOLD}

This dresser has been refinished in antique white and coated with poly.  You don't find the happy life you make it. Isn't that the truth?

I am not sure what this has to do with the beautiful dresser on this post, besides the fact that it makes me feel happy,  but it's what I was thinking earlier this morning. Enjoy the happy you experience today!

I'm Sorry Washstand


{SOLD}

This washstand has been refinished in blue/grey chalk paint (AS), distressed and coated with clear wax. The top has been stained dark walnut and coated with poly.  I've got the Monday blues and it's Friday! Maybe it's the winter blues...Aileen shared with me a little Instagram post she saw the other day. It read, "I am sorry for the things I said when it was winter"... I kinda feel like I might have thought and said some inappropriate stuff when I was sanding outside in -25 degree weather, it kinda sucked. We can't wait for spring, it will come, it always does. In the meantime, we'll keep painting awesome furniture like this washstand. A piece like this will keep you happy in February and March!

An Amazing Red Dresser


{SOLD}

This dresser has been refinished in Emperors Silk chalk paint (AS), distressed and coated with dark wax. The top has been stained dark walnut and coated with poly. Yay!!! Another red piece! It's been awhile, we know. But we had to find the perfect piece to paint red. This dresser was almost finished and then someone(I can't imagine who!) dripped stain down the side. Then someone else(not the one who dripped the stain!) had to sand(in the freezing cold) and repaint the side again. I wonder who dripped the stain on the side? Mistakes happen, but you wouldn't know it looking at this piece. It turned out amazing!
