Cream Desk Reincarnated

This is the matching desk to Olivia's new dresser.  I missed the beautiful cream color of the first desk I every refinished, so I bought a sample and went to work.  There is something so elegant and timeless about cream, it is definitely one of my favorites.










The body is painted with Behr Creme Brulee and sealed with Minwax Finishing Paste.  The top is stained with a mix of Minwax Early American and Jacobean.  It is sealed with Rustoleum Clear Enamel.

Oak Desk Redo

So we moved and it seemed all our furniture needed an update, at least in my mind.  This midnight blue beauty just didn't work anywhere but with a new coat of paint it found a new home.










The color is Valspar Emerald, but compared to most emerald it is very subdued.  It is sealed with Minwax Finishing Paste.

A Dresser For A Two Year Old Princess

I thought it was time to update Sissy's bedroom, now that she has her own. We sold her princess dresser and found a great set on craigslist.  I have three more pieces to get done but this is the first and it is wonderful.  I replaced the hardware and put knobs on the top drawers.








The top is stained with a mix of Minwax Jacobean and English Chestnut.  It is sealed with Rustoleum Clear Enamel.  The body is painted with Behr Dragon Fruit and sealed with Minwax Dark Finishing Paste.

Race Car Dresser, Again?

I loved the first race car dresser I did and really wanted to do that again for Zachie's new room.  We picked this dresser up in seaside for free and it has been a fun dresser to have around.  It is an incredibly funky shape but works perfectly.










The dresser is stained with a mix of Minwax Jacobean and English Chestnut, it is sealed with Rustoleum Clear Enamel.  The dresser is painted with Behr Bleached Linen, Award Blue, and Roasted Red Pepper.  It is sealed with Minwax Finishing Paste.

About Me

My photo
Growing up we never realized that we could make or change our furniture. Now that we are old and grown..ha..we realized that you can do anything you want to do. We like finding an old battered piece of furniture and seeing what we can make of it. We find joy in the journey and love seeing our pieces go to someone who loves them. Our house is slowly changing to whatever we want it to be and we are loving seeing the transformation.
