Hi all!!

I have been a bit behind on my blogging and picture taking but I have been very busy! I just finished reupholstering 6 dining room chairs and painting and reupholstering a desk chair for a lovely client. Although I did not take before pictures, here is what they looked like after. When they came to me they were very wobbly, the backs were peeling and the fabric on the seats were very loose. 

I now have two more projects in the works while searching for pieces for some other clients. I am so fortunate to have such great friends! My dear friend Laura works for a fabulous yoga studio called Yoga on High. I have been working with her to find a perfect display case for their merchandise. We will be stripping it, painting it and adding locks to the doors! I can’t wait to show you the finished product!

Finally I have a chest of drawers that I will be painting but we have not decided on a color! Oh decisions!  

Keep checking in for the finished products!!!!

I know, I know. I haven’t written a post in a while and I sincerely apologize. I took a fantastic break in Wisconsin with my family and came home to a crazy schedule!!! I finished and delivered 2 dressers and have been reupholstering up a storm!

You have all seen Claudia’s dresser and it looks beautiful in her room. The other dresser was a custom piece. She had asked for a dresser with at least 6 drawers and for that antique-rustic-worn in look. I finally found the perfect dresser! not only did it have 6 drawers but it also had an additional 3 half drawers. Time to strip it! It had over 3 coats of paint! Woof. We used stripper, we used sand paper, we even used a heat gun! Finally we got it to the point where we could start painting. A nice antique white to go with the theme of antique-rustic-worn. After it was all painted, I went around and distressed the heck out of that dresser! it got to the point where it was enough and I was really started to like the look of the dresser (also hoping the future owner would enjoy it too). Last but not least I got some antique bronze pulls that, I personally think, added the final and perfect touch!

Stripping with the heat gun

And then with some stripper…

Finally painted!!!

In that last picture you can see Garett working on an old piano. We will be repurposing that…more details to come.

Final piece!!!
