9 Drawer Drexel Dresser & Mirror...SOLD

I have a beautiful solid wood dresser by Drexel and a matching mirror that I just finished in the most gorgeous color. I think the lighting is off in my house because the pictures do not do it justice. It is so deep and rich and I must say...a new favorite of mine!! It is called "Sensual Jade" by Valspar.

This piece has been given a lot of love by me! I started by sanding it down, painting it, sanding it again and waxing the body for a protective finish. I originally painted the top of the dresser the same color but because of some damage that was done from the previous owners it truly looked like crap. Since it wasn't smooth like I had anticipated, I thought I would add a Moroccan stencil that would give it character. Well...that just looked worse...which is never good for a person with OCD! So I got online and looked up how to replace a dresser top. That gave me the fabulous idea to just turn the existing one over. It was perfect, no damage whatsoever. In fact, it was so pretty that I decided to stain it rather than paint it. I thought it was too much color with the mirror matching as well. It now wears a dark walnut finish with a coat of Polycrylic to protect it. GLAMOROUS I must say!

This dresser measures 63.75 in. wide x 20 in. deep x 32 in. tall. It features 9 drawers all of which are dove tailed and on medal tracks with ball bearings giving them nice smooth movement. 2 drawers measure ~ 20 in. x 15.5 in. and sink 3.75 in. 2 measure ~ 20 in. x 15.5 in. and sink 6.5 in. 2 measure ~ 20in. x 15.5 in. and sink 7 in. and the middle drawers are 15.5 in. x 13.5 in. and sink 4 in., 6.5 in. and 7 in. Lots of storage space for any need. One drawer has a jewelry holder that can slide back and forth and is removable and 2 drawers feature a built in divider so you can better organize your belongings.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment to come and see it. It is a nice solid piece that is sure to last for years. The mirror alone weighs a TON! Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays! ~Kell

Bunk beds...custom order

I had a client bring me these really fun bunk beds that didn't look to fun to begin with. The previous owners had started a painting job that obviously tuckered them out {see the pictures below}. It appeared that they took on this job using a paint brush...OUCH! NO ONE would want that job :) So they were able to score them for a pretty good deal, but really wanted them refinished for their girls! I think they'll have two happy kiddos on Christmas morning when they wake up to these "Seafoam" beauties...

Enjoy your day ~Kell

Just curious...

Good morning all! So you can't laugh at me, but I love to hop on my blog throughout the day and see the number of views rise. It makes my heart do a happy dance! I never dreamed that when I started selling my pieces just 4 short months ago that I would be up to 1,600 hits on my blog...another happy dance just occured!

Well it got me to wondering...

I know my family probably constitutes 98% of those hits ♥ but where are the rest of you from?? So I ask you this...if you have a free moment please leave me a comment and tell me how you came across my blog. I love to hear from you and promise to answer any questions you have. So don't be afraid to ask away...

Thanks for the support, guys!! It means the world ~Kell

Ribbon back chairs...custom job

So I had a client bring me the most beautiful ribbon back chairs. They were old to say the least...you know, the "awesome" kind of old with key screws and a routing job that furniture nowa days just doesn't have! Gorgeous!

But they lacked a little something. A little something that I was able to provide them...and that was a makeover. I painted them a beautiful shade of white with slight gray undertones and distressed the heck out of them! Shabby, shabby...my favorite! Then I sanded them and waxed them giving them a super smooth finish that will survive life with a family of small kiddos. We also reupholstered them in a fabric that she brought to me that will match her brand new dining room.

They turned out so pretty...have a look ~Kell

Lovin' me some chevron...

I bought this awesome retro dresser a little while ago and could not resist painting it with chevron stripes. It just had that feel! I am in lo♥e with chevron stripes in case you couldn't tell!

Well my sweet son has been living with a changing table / dresser in his room for the last few {too many} years so I thought it had better become his. He is quite happy and I must say that I am too! Mission accomplished!!

Hope you enjoy your weekend ~Kell

Come on...

Well folks, I should really be fired!! In this line of business it's ALL about the "after" shot, which I have been HORRIBLE at! Really...how could I not have after shots of my pieces?!? Because I am a slacker...that's why. I get so excited for my clients to see their pieces sometimes that I call them over before I have the chance.
Lesson learned...I will try harder...I promise!!

That said, here are some before and during shots of a few pieces I have completed...

I got this cute twin bed from a friend of mine who is in interior design. It belongs to a client of hers and I thank her for the business!!!

I painted it black for her. What a cute little rustic bed it was and man did it look beautiful once it was finished! {Wish I had a picture!!!!!}

I also had the chance to finish this coffee table for a friend. It was such a fun piece.

I painted it a beautiful putty shade, distressed it for a fun farmhouse feel and put a polycrilic finish on it! {again...wish I had a picture!!!!!} Notice a theme?

I made a "mental note to self" that I will not let this happen again! SHEESH!!

Well, hope you're enjoying your "after Halloween hysteria" {a.k.a. sugar rush} because I'm sure enjoying mine! ~Kell
