Yee-haw...I finally finished the last of my tallboy dressers. This one is quite different from the others because of its ornate wood carvings. It is so classy!!
I sanded the piece, painted it a creamy white color called "Comet Dust" by Valspar, distressed it for the shabby look that I ♥ so much, sanded it again and finished it off with a coat of wax.
This solid wood tallboy has 5 drawers {all dove tailed}, 2 of which are hidden behind its beautifully carved doors as well as 3 cubbies to store all of your belongings. All together the piece measures a whopping 60 in. tall x 37.5 in. wide x 18.25 in. deep. The top drawer is 29.5 in. long x 14.25 in. deep and sinks 4.75 in. The 3 cubbies are 15 in. deep x 11 in. tall and vary between 9 and 11 in. wide. The 2 middle drawers are 28 in. wide x 13.5 in. deep and one sinks 3.5 in. while the other sinks 4.5 in. And the 2 bottom drawers measure 32.25 in. wide x 14.5 in. deep and sink 7.5 in. This dresser really offers a lot of extra storage!
Sadly the pictures don't do it justice. I would love to show it to you in person! If you would like to set up an appointment or have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at homeonharmony@gmail.com.
Hope you're having a great day! Thanks for stopping by ~Kell

Very Hip Tallboy Dresser...SOLD
Ladies & Gents,
I finished the funnest {not a word, I am sure} piece today. It really isn't fair that I love my pieces as much as I do because I don't want to part with any of them. But at least I get the satisfaction of knowing that the special person that purchases them will get just as much joy from them as I do in making them!!
That said, I am happy you stopped by, because you will fall in love with this little gem, I assure you!
I found this tallboy dresser with the most amazing hardware I have ever seen and HAD TO HAVE IT! I wanted to paint it a fun color to play up its unique characteristics and had a peacocky {again...not a word. We might have to call those "Kellieisms"}teal in mind...so here she is...ready to move into your space...
You'll probably remember her from her before pictures
Cute hardware...huh?!?
Well here she is after being sanded, primed, painted, distressed, sanded again and waxed...
Isn't she gorgeous??
If you're interested, you'll like to know that this piece is solid wood, has 5 drawers {3 of which are covered by those amazing doors} all dove tailed and STURDY! I always say "they don't make furniture like they used to" and QUALITY is what I mean. This dresser will last you for YEARS!! It stands 50.5 in. tall x 40 in. wide x 18.5 in. deep. The 2 bottom drawers are 14.5 in. deep x 35 in. wide and go down 6 in. and the top 3 drawers measure 13.5 in. deep x 32 in. wide and go down 7 in.
Well peeps, it is way past my 8:00 bed time...yes, I am that old :)
Sleep tight ~Kell

Stunning Tallboy Dresser...SOLD
I have a tallboy dresser that I have completely refinished that is absolutely stunning. I started off by sanding the entire piece, painting it a beautiful shade of gray that would match any decor because of its tone, distressed it for a shabby feel, sanded it again to give it a nice smooth finish and completed the look with a coat of wax for a durable finish. This solid wood piece has all of its original hardware except for its handles {because it was missing one backer} so I added some new crystal looking pulls that finish it off!
This dresser stands 41 in. long x 48 in. tall x 18 in. deep.
It has 5 dove tail drawers; 2 of which are hidden behind the doors that measure 35.25 in. long x 13.25 in. deep and go down 5.5 in. and 3 that measure 34 in. long x 14.25 in. deep and go down 5.5 in. {one even has wooden dividers adding 3 compartments for organizing your belongings}
Hope you enjoy your weekend ~Kell

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!!

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
