Pink Bed with roses

A girl’s dream became true!

The bed was from a garage sale and was painted in a cottage white. After sanding it a bit, I distressed it, sanded down the edges as underneath the wood was stained dark brown.

Afterwards I added a mix of pink and glaze on it and painted the roses.

It’s a great idea if you have n older bed but don’t want to purchase  a new one.  

Call me if you have a piece of furniture you don’t like anymore. It’s worth to refinish it, and in most cases cheaper!

Refinished bathroom cabinet

Bored to see the same old cabinets? Tired of the oak style? I understand.

If your bathroom of powder room lacks of  colors or a special design, it can be changed just by refinishing the cabinets alone. On the picture the cabinet was refinished in a shabby chic style, so it has  a nice contrast to the tiles.

If you are unhappy about the wall color, I can give you a FREE consultation.

Yes.  So the make-over does not have to eat up your savings either!

Just send me an email – ask for the powder room make-over Special

Dining Table

I wanted to create a finish for a dining table which should look elegant but also rustic. So I asked myself, is this possible?

The table was dark brown, had many spots and looked shabby and not shabby chic. It was used a lot, the leaves were blocked and with a false movie the whole table would crash – but I got it really cheap.

Antique white was my base color, umber for the accents. I added thin layers, took parts off, distressed the edges and legs.  Then I decided to add the elegant part, the fleur de lyss.

When it was done I was surprised myself, the combination of elegant and rustic was achieved.

I just had to find six matching chairs – I found them. Lucky I was indeed.

Dusty Rose Side Table

Refinished Side Table - Dusty Rose

Dusty Rose is my name. I am a side table made out of solid wood and I was painted in a style which was not really matching me.
Now someone came along and bought me and there I was, standing in a bedroom for months! Nothing happened. So I waited. And waited until 2 weeks ago. She came, took me and sanded down the horrible flowers which someone painted on my drawers and the top.  Then she painted me dark red and she added several layers of thin paint and glaze and sanded and distressed the wood – I thought it is  never ending! But it ended. And when the sealer was put on, I felt and looked so good.

Now I am sold. A nice lady bought me right after I was posted in an ad on Craigslist. I like my new place and I enjoy looking so rustic and shabby!
