"This piece by Bassett had the typical 80’s splatter painted, speckled finish. I gave it a much needed update in General Finishes Lamp Black with gorgeous gold hardware. The top was giving me a hard time with both staining and painting evenly, so I updated it with Aspen wood planks and stained in Ebony to give the piece an extra boost of one-of-a-kind style." - Elm Street Designs    
"Say hello to my friend Darla, here. She's a beautiful vintage 5 drawer from approximately the 30's and had a wicked case of 'latex paint disease'. We've since cleared her of this ailment with a chemical strip down and hand sanding. The top had this lovely burl piece but was much too dark to enjoy it's fabulous detail and depth so we did a multi-step bleach process to help clear out some of the aging and tannins and give her a little more modern tone. Just a beautiful example of bookend burl...

"SOLID OAK inside and out. This piece was pristine when I got it, like it had never been used. Heavy, sturdy, like brand new. Drawers glide with ease. The old rusty vintage casters that I’ve been holding onto for about a year were my inspiration for going with a rustic industrial vibe. Many paint colors went into this starting with a base of General Finishes Lamp Black. A very cool product called “rust in a jar” by Autentico Paint USA was used to create textured old rust looking areas...

"When you create for long enough, inevitably along will come a piece that you struggle to list for sale. Please welcome, Clevette to the collection! We found her hidden away in the basement of a home we ended up buying as a flip last year. Her top was heavily aged but her character and charm undeniably drew us in. My dad selected the best pine boards at the lumber yard and we laid her a new custom top. After several rounds of cleaning, this girl's mahogany tannins still bleed so I opted...
"Sometimes...when I’m waiting for paint to dry...I squeeze in a little project. This little cutelydute bench was a curbside find. I gave it a quick little refresh by removing the dated, flouncy fabric as well as removing the peeling veneer, which that flouncy fabric was covering. I used General Finishes Lamp Black and then I sealed it with (my favorite) Polyvine Ltd wax finish varnish in dead flat. I used some leftover, fun fabric to reupholster the seat." - REmade
