"Paris" chest of drawers

This piece was a great find!  My love and I were out checking the local yard sales  and came across a house that had this in the driveway with a sign that said Free!  Yippee!  I pretty much ran over there to get it before anyone else saw it. 


She needed a little work. I completely sanded down the top. 


And decided to paint her in General Finishes Seagull Gray Milk Paint and do some accents in a custom mix of GF Lamp Black mixed with Modern Masters Metallic Pewter. 




The color turned to be a shimmery black. 

I then cleaned the hardware and added pewter guilding wax. 


I added a Paris stencil to the top. 

A floral stencil motif was added to the drawer fronts and I painted the drawer sides/stenciled for extra cuteness!  



She was sealed using General Finishes Top Coat in Satin.  

Tada!!!

Vintage Dixie Sideboard


I just love this mid century sideboard!  She is huge!  6 ft long with lots of storage. 

I painted this beauty in General Finishes Linen, lightly distressed and sealed with their high performance top coat in flat. 







I just love what paint can do!

Hand painted Kimball End Tables

Simply beautiful Kimball End Tables. They don't make them like this anymore!  Super heavy/solid piece of furniture. 


I painted them in General Finishes milk paint in the color Linen. Such a great product!  Goes on like butta! 


Lightly distressed, sealed them with General Finishes Top Coat in Flat and added some gold gilding wax on the details. 



Such a great look for any decor!  


Shabby chic chest

I'm in love with how this piece came out! 


Such a cute piece that I got for. Great price at a local yard sale. 

I painted the body in Annie Sloan Pure White Chalk Paint and the drawers I painted in Provence. 



I heavily distressed her, painted the sides of the drawers and added a cute stencil. 



I painted the knobs in pure white as well and sealed the entire piece with CeCe Caldwells wax. I like the ease of her wax a little better than Annie Sloan's. 



I'm just tickled how she looks. The best part is it sold within an hour!
