These took FOREVER. But I was determined to keep the wood in its natural state and not just slap some paint on them. 100% solid maple wood. (Some outer trim on drawers is polar, but majority is maple. Top row of drawers has gorgeous maple burl accents) Stripped twice, then sanded. Hours upon hours of hand sanding all the grooves, nooks and crannies. I’m now sporting bandaids on 3 fingers due to so much sanding. Fun fact: sanded, raw wood is absolutely gorgeous but the minute you go to...

"We came across this perfect vintage linen chest while back and somehow it ended up lost in the midst of other projects. But all comes to light in it's own time...and this one was well worth the wait! To transform this piece we sprayed a custom mix of General Finishes Lamp Black and Snow White for the subtle ash black I had in mind. It carries the perfect muted tone. The top coat has the perfect matte sheen that feels amazing to the touch. The original brass hardware was polished and glazed...
"TA-DA This beast is all done and back at his home! This was Maria's grandparents piece and she wanted to just give it a good refresh to bring it into their home. After wrestling with the doors more times than I care to admit to try to get them off the tracks, only to have come to the conclusion that they were built into the piece. This did complicate things a bit but I worked around it. Sanded down inside and out, primed and painted in General Finishes Snow White and stained in General...

"Refinished in General Finishes Millstone. Distressed in all the right places using denatured alcohol technique. Sealed in GF top coat in flat. Original hardware updated to oil rubbed bronze." - Elm Street Designs    
It came to me previously painted, and not well. The paint started to come off just from cleaning! It needed to be entirely stripped, which was no small task. Once I started spraying the color though, it was all worth it! My client chose this bold color as it’s going in her place of business as a coffee station. A perfect way to think outside the box when it comes to furniture, as it doesn’t always need to be used in a home setting.Paint color: Sunglow by...
