Yours for the taking...

Ok everyone, I have a few pieces that I will be finishing in the next few weeks and thought I would put them out there to see if anyone is interested in a custom finish.

If you are, feel free to get a hold of me and we can work out the details. I will be M.I.A. for about a week, so if you don't hear from me right away, don't fret. I will be back in action by October 11th.

Piece #1:
Solid wood armoire
5 Drawers
Dove tail wood work
Perfect condition
I was thinking this piece would be awesome in a teal or peacock greenish/blue that would make those original hardware pulls really pop!!
















Piece #2:
Awesome retro dresser
Solid wood
Dove tail wood work
Great condition, works perfectly
The natural age shows which will be fun to play up with its finish.
I was thinking a trendy pattern would be fun to add to the face of this dresser since it is flat. Check out my chevron dresser to see what I mean!










Piece #3:
Ornate armoire
Solid wood
5 drawers plus 3 cubbies
Dove tail wood work
Great working condition
This piece would be very classy in a white or cream finish to play up the beautifully carved wood details!

















My suggestions are just that...suggestions! They would be awesome in any variety of finishes. If you have something in mind, let me know! It's always fun to see what other people think! Thanks for stopping by ~Kell

Darling set of night stands...SOLD

The client that bought my large dining room table was also in the market for some night stands. I found these darling ones on Craigslist which she purchased and had me finish in black.

They came with a beautiful wood stain which was, well, outdated. Painting them brought them back to life and will now match the decor in her home.

She is planning on replacing the hardware seeing as how one of them was missing the backer. Here is a little peek of the before and after. ~Kell




Finished...SOLD

Well, I finally finished that BEAUTIFUL dining room table and 8 chairs this last week. But I am super sad that I did not get a complete "after" picture. Only in pieces! Boo-hoo! I guess something is better than nothing...right?!?

My client wanted the table top finished in a dark walnut stain, and the base and chairs painted black. We then picked out a fun and trendy chevron fabric in a grey and cream finish that I must say married the classy traditional curves of this piece quite well. The finished product is absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Have a peek ~Kell

9 Drawer Dresser...SOLD

Good morning all,

I just finished the coolest dresser. It is a vintage trendy piece from the 60's or 70's so I kept that feeling by painting it gray, and I must say it was a perfect fit!

I started by sanding the entire piece, then I painted it Valspar's "Mark Twain House Ombra Gray" which is stunning. After it dried, I distressed it, sanded it again for a very smooth finish, covered it with a coat of protective wax and reapplied all of the original drawer pulls. STUNNING!!

This piece it quite versatile and could be used as:
~A dresser :)
~An entertainment center / console for your TV
~A sideboard, buffet or credenza
~A changing table for your nursery or
~An entry way table as a catch all
The possibilities are endless!

This solid wood piece measures 66 in. long x 31.5 in. tall x 18.5 in. deep and features 9 dove tail drawers that are 18.5 in. long x 14.5 in. deep and go down 5.5 in.

Hope you're having a good one ~Kell

Set of 3 Swivel Bar Stools...SOLD

I have a set of 3 beautiful bar stools that our family is no longer in need of. We purchased them approximately 4 years ago for $85 ea. and they are still in PERFECT working condition. They are 24" tall which is the average counter height bar stool size and they swivel giving them added comfort and ease of use. They are black in color with walnut stain on the seat and came with a distressed look.

These stools are in beautiful working order with no flaws. They are solid wood and sturdy {no wobbling}.

Let me know if you are interested ~Kell

Full Size Bedroom Set...SOLD

I must say that I am in love with this set. When I found it, it was that lovely {not so much} shade of brown that was {oh so} popular in the 60's and 70's. It needed to be updated in a bad way and I love how the crisp white shade gives it the makeover it needed. This wood set is solid and will surly last you a lifetime.

Included in this 4 piece set {technically 5 if you include the bed rails} are:
~a FULL size headboard and rails
~a 2 drawer nightstand
~a 9 drawer dresser and
~a mirror

It has been sanded and painted in a beautiful shade of white for a nice clean look that would go with ANY decor! I then sanded it again for a nice smooth finish and added a coat of wax for protection. Each dove tailed drawer features a black and white patterned drawer liner giving it that finished look.

Measurements are:
Headboard - 52 in. tall x 60.25 in. wide
Nightstand - 24.5 tall x 25 in. wide x 14.75 in. deep {featuring 2 drawers that are 16 in. wide x 10.5 in. deep and go down 5.5 in., all dove tailed}
Dresser - 32 in. tall x 69.5 in. wide x 18 in. deep {featuring 6 drawers that are 20.75 wide x 13.5 deep and go down 5.5 in. and 3 drawers that are 14.75 in. wide x 13.5 in deep and go down 5.5 in., all dove tailed}
Mirror - 53 in. tall x 30 in. wide

Happy sleeping ~Kell
