IMGP0565We love Julie!

She found Refreshingly Chic a few weeks ago and we are working together to find perfect pieces for her new home.

She purchased our black distressed dresser & mirror for her Bedroom and then we began working on a few of her existing pieces.

We {love} that she is filling her home with unique, custom furniture & is able to do it economically.

She has great vision and a lot of trust & confidence in our work – which we appreciate!

hope chestThis hope chest is for her daughter, Eva’s new bedroom.

We transformed it with an antique white finish and wanted to find a way to make it extra special.

How about a personalized monogram!?

Julie also had this dresser and we refinished it to match her daughter’s hope chest.

We loved the existing hardware & decided to refinish it & add a special touch with new pink glass knobs.

This nightstand that we had in our inventory was perfect for Eva’s bedroom so she claimed it as hers!

It transformed into the perfect nightstand. We used the same pink glass knobs to coordinate with her dresser.

Julie purchased these two pieces for her Living Room and we recently refinished them in an antique tan.

hardware love

3od3p13lb5V55T55R0b3sbfedffa4c67217d4Last week we purchased this dresser, along with the matching nightstand, which you can see here.

We had visions of it in our own home, but it wasn’t the perfect fit (sadly!) so we are selling it.

This is a beautiful, solid piece with some magnificent hardware & plenty of storage.

We refinished in an antiqued white with slight distressing.

I think we have a new {favorite} piece!

We hope it finds a new home & it is adored and cherished as it should be.

IMGP1154We met Jennifer & her family when she purchased this aqua desk.

She was very pleased with her purchase & mentioned she also needed a nightstand for her son’s bedroom.

We came across this beauty on Monday and immediately thought of Jennifer!

 

Luckily she has great vision and claimed it as her own!

Jennifer selected a distressed black finish and we are so pleased with the finished product!

hello yellow!

We have some friends at Fancy Pants Fotos who brought us a few goodies to work on. They were a little hard on the eyes, but we saw the potential & were more than happy to transform them into real treasures.

Here is the chair {before}

And {after}!

Perfect setting to photograph a sweet little child!

They also brought a small end table, which Tyler completely reworked & built a new top for.  We love the distressed black finish for a simple table with great shape!

{Antiqued Grey}

3ka3m23p15Y25Q35R4b297fe146f6f1351d39We came across this desk a few weeks ago and loved the detailing and structure.

Our hope has been to add new finish options to our portfolio so we decided on an antiqued grey & thought the desk would be the perfect application!

We love the finished product!
