Surprise Birthday Gift for a Friend!!

I called this a "MIDNIGHT MIRACLE" because I started this yesterday afternoon for a Birthday Gift TODAY!

Having done this process before & knowing how it was going to turn out I was able to complete all the paint & artwork in just a few hours.  Now I'm waiting for the Top-Coat Varnish to dry for Transport this Afternoon!

I debated about putting the extra time & effort in the polka-dots underneath thinking no one would see them anyway ...until I took this photo from underneath looking UP!

This was an Old Childhood desk.  It now has a new life to be presented today for a Special Surprise Birthday Gift!!
A pretty surprise when drawers are opened with Dotted sides!  My signature distressed Stripe & Polka-Dot Legs!  Metallic Gold Trims the edge of the Table Top!

Decoupaged Drawer Fronts with Vintage Look Paper.  I also went through my Hardware-Morgue & found 2 Matching Antique Pulls that looked great on this piece.

A Light Breeze outside will Hopefully Dry the Varnish Quicker Today!



I found PICMONKEY.COM and am able to create neat collages of my work to post on Facebook and other places I feature my items to sell.  It's easy to use & helps organize many shots & angles of an item in ONE pic rather than having to download several.

Keep in mind that I take all necessary steps in restoring a Vintage Piece! 
 My pieces are thoroughly PREPPED with rigorous Sanding and Several Coats of Primer used to ensure Maximum Paint Adhesion.  I apply several coats of the Beautiful color, carefully sanding between each layer.  I also wipe my pieces down with Tack Cloth throughout the process to pickup any contaminants that would cause flaws in the paint coats.  Drawers are Painted INSIDE & OUT and I also clean & vacuum anything left behind underneath and inside on every piece.  I also use the necessary TOP COAT to ensure Maximum Durability of the Paint FINISH and to Protect the Artwork!

This chest was so stunning all around that it called for a Brocade Medallion hand-painted in metallics!

This piece came with shiney brass drawer pulls.  I went through my box of salvaged goodies and put together miss-matched vintage relics with a time-worn rusty patina.  They just add even more character to the piece making it look worldly & traveled.

Brushed gold details

I was told that the wood is "Exotic".  This looks like a one-of-a-kind piece even back in it's day.  I imagine it was made by a woodworking artisan seeing how detailed the woodgraining is along with the creativity that went into the piece using off-set hardware on the front and the art-deco styled design down the front doors.

The doors open to display a neoclassic angel design from Robert Adams (neoclassic architect)

The hardware is all original to this piece.  It does have a locking mechanism but is missing its key.

I found that it was easier to strip the entire piece & when I did I found that the top had alot of detail & character. Even though it had a little veneer chipping it was still too lovely to paint over.
