Dresser turned Media Console

We purchased this dresser and immediately knew a client who it would be perfect for.

She loved this piece just as much as we did and quickly claimed it!

We worked with her to customize this piece for her Master Bedroom and it actually broke our hearts to see it leave tonight.  The details & lines are gorgeous and the new finish really transforms this piece.

Tyler removed the two lower middle drawers and built open shelves for A/V equipment, as this will be used as a media console. 

He did an outstanding job!

We also refinished her existing nightstands, which look beautiful with the new dresser, to match.

We hope Lyn & Bryan love their new furniture … we really enjoyed working with them!

Sweet Additions

We found these two pint sized tables many months ago and knew they would be perfect for Bella’s big girl room, which we highlighted in our last post.

IMGP1137This small pedestal table was only $10 and perfect for a child’s room.

We painted it cream to match the existing furniture in the room. 

Then in order to give it some character we stenciled a damask print on the table top & antiqued it.

This is one of our favorite make overs so far!

This antique table is perfect for any child.  It’s a great size but also has book holders on either side of the table, which is ideal for a bed side table!

A simple make over turned this dated table into a sweet pink nightstand!

We are finishing a fabulous dresser and night stands for a client & will share photos soon!

Bye Bye Baby

before cream dresserLast summer we found this beauty at a local garage sale for next to nothing! 

We immediately saw the potential & purchased this dresser along with a few other goodies.

Tyler repaired & reinforced the dresser, prepared the drawers for new hardware and slightly altered the top … then we were ready to begin the transformation.

The dresser quickly took on a new life and was perfect for Tyler & Allison’s daughter’s Big Girl room!

While we were painting the dresser, along with other furniture at a paint class from Altr’d, we spotted this (originally gold) mirror at a garage sale nearby and quickly bought it!

What a charming addition to the room.
