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!


ORIGINAL HARDWARE

Beachy Blue Makeover for and Old Pair

I was contacted by a lady to redo some of her furniture.  It was some stuff she had gotten when first married and has since upgraded her own set.  Still being in great shape she wanted a fresh new look for these dressers so she could still keep them and use them in her daughter's bedroom.  The little girl was thinking a "Beachy" look in a pretty shade of blue.  This is what I came up with.  Enjoy!

I just love how this little table turned out but it didn't come easy!
I actually struggled with finishing this table & it sat for weeks half way done.  First of all it was in pieces and I had to glue & screw and basically rebuild the whole thing to stabilize it so it wasn't wobbly.  Nothing irritates me more than a shifty & wobbly table that has compromised joints.  So after doing that I decided to use a Chalk Paint colored in Duck Egg Blue.  I had just enough in a can that was left over from another project.  I painted it and yuck! .. I still wasn't happy with it and yet again it sat unfinished for another couple days while I got distracted working on another project.  After regrouping, I tackled the table again and thought.. I'll just paint it white, finish it and get this thing out of my house!  Ok, with that done I started the magic of sanding to distress it and was delighted when with pops of dusty blue emerged from underdeath. 

This table is just the right height to add 2 little chairs for a childs table. 
Tea Pary Anyone?

Drop Both sides and this table is an easy Side table for any Room!

Off the Beaten Path!

I have a morning route of places I go in search of the old, vintage, disgarded, broken-down & used up. 
Heading into Tomball town that morning I took a short-cut which took me back behind a strip-center of shops where they keep the dumpsters & other back-ally stuff. As I was quickly driving thru trying to get to where I really needed to go I spotted something up ahead.  As I got closer I saw it was 4 chairs.  I got out & quickly inspected them for anything I wouldn't want to be trapped in my vehicle with.  They were pretty dirty but I discovered that the frames were SOLID and that the chairs were surprising HEAVY!!
It took me a while to finally get to them as I wasn't really inspired by their style & the seats needed to be completely redone.  I took them apart & threw away the old seats.  A friend of mine cut & gave me wood to rebuild the seats & I purchased 4 new cushions for the seats. 
After some Painting & Recovering with some Ralph Lauren fabric I already had, this is how they turned out!
