card catalog!

We are in {love}.

IMGP5567

This card catalog was stored away in Arlene’s garage when she found inspiration that made her realize the potential she had hidden away.

We were thrilled when the opportunity presented itself for us to refinish her card catalog.

She decided a lightly distressed black would be perfect for her daughter, Megan (the lucky new owner)and the outcome is divine!

If you’re as jealous as we are of this new accent piece, let us know and we’ll add you to our quickly growing list of “I want one of those”!

Enjoy Meg.

new clients, new color

Dara had this gorgeous coffee table & brought it to us because it has been well loved and needed a little attention.

IMGP4409She wanted an antiqued white finish with heavy distressing to compliment the console she purchased from us.

We safely removed the hardware & refinished the table.

The new look is beautiful & really emphasizes the hardware details.

Dara had emailed us her wish list & the top item was a desk. We knew this one would be perfect for her!

We refinished in a French grey with light distressing.

{two} antiqued white dressers!

IMGP4322We found this French provincial dresser with a mirror and were thrilled with the purchase!

It’s so fun to get in new pieces and each time feel a rush of excitement and anticipation as we begin to refinish them!

After getting many calls & emails about our last cream French dresser, we decided to refinish this one in our Antique White with a light glaze.

What a beauty she turned out to be!

Britini was our {big giveaway} winner! She was in need of a dresser & claimed this one as her own & requested our Antiqued White finish.

The pink glass knobs were a sweet added touch to sweeten up her daughters’ bedroom!

Congratulations Britini!

3rd times a charm

Do you remember this dresser?

You can see the post {here} on how we transformed it to a beautiful dresser!

One of our clients was in need of a media console & decided to purchase the dresser for us to retrofit for her home.

After a little work, we were proud to present this piece of furniture to Julie!

{distressed black buffet}

IMGP3753We have been blessed with some pretty fabulous parents!

A few weekends ago they drove up to our house with this treasure strapped in the back of their truck.

We fell in love & knew we could turn it into something truly wonderful.

We love the original hardware & shape of the legs.

{Aqua Desk}

photoWe purchased this desk & hutch a few weeks ago and although it looked a little “tired” …

we loved it!

Light aqua with an antiqued glazed finish was our decision and we are so pleased with it!
