Shabby chic repurposed wardrobe

Probably one of my favorite pieces. I say that not because of its construction or because it brings back some sort of childhood memory. It is one of my favorites because of the sheer transformation. One of the reasons why I love what I do so much is because I see furniture pieces with age, that aren't loved or cherished, and I can put in some work and give pieces new life. This is one of those pieces.

Found in an old shed, left to rot, this Chifferobe is now absolutely beautiful! The upper door got a new mirror cut for it, a new hanging rack was installed and shelves were constructed to give it some cool functionality. The possibilities are endless!

I decided to use a 2tone color scheme on this piece. Antique white is what highlights the majority with accents of grey. Cute stenciled birds and new hardware make this piece a perfect fit for a nursery, but I have even thought about the possibilities of it in my own bedroom! I love it!!

Whoever gets his piece is going to be one lucky person! My hope is that they love it as much as I do!! I hope that this inspires you to find your own shabby treasure and transform it into a chic masterpiece.

Picking treasures repurposed

I went picking the other day and I say that because honestly I felt a little cool! :) I went climbing I storage sheds old barns in through piles of old wood and rusty treasure. And at the end of allow other are a few of the treasure I came away with. After a little cleaning, innovation and paint i love the rustic chicness of all these awesome new saved treasures! The first piece is an old shelf that was missing its feet only had one door but amazingly all the beveled glass on the sides was still intact. The next piece was an old mental that with a little paint now has a fresh coastal chic feel... This could also make an amazing large shelf that would be stunning under a mounted tv. and Lastly I took the broken door and made a organization coat rack....love my rescued treasure.

Beautiful Serpentine chest of drawers

I found this beautiful dresser actually on Craigslist and while it was a little more pricy then I normally try to spend... I just loved it's Regalness... ( I know thats not even a word but it's the word I feel best describes it). To start it needed a little love on the surface but it's bones where REALLy good! It is a sturdy, heavy solid wood piece! It is solid cherry ( they just don't make furniture like this anymore) Beautiful! I decided to leave the beautiful design on the top drawer to add charicter and design to the piece and I used ASCP old white for the body of the piece. And because i used chalk paint I was apple two skip both sanding and priming but I did have to apply 4 coats of the chalk paint for full coverage. Next I lightly sanded the piece to minimize any brush strokes and to make it smooth, as smooth as butter...while landing a light distressing around the edges and corners. Next I applied a full coat of finishing paste ( aka wax). I like to apply it with a chip brush and then rub it in with an old rag like a t-shirt or cheese cloth. This gives the piece it's protection and finished look. And Walaa...

Custom Desk makeover

Custom desk restoration project

Before

The plan for this desk is to restore and refinish the top to a dark walnut color and the bottom with an old white (ASCP) paint  and wax mat finish with light distressing and an antique duck egg blue interior in the drawers for a pop of color and style.

 

 

 First I used a stripper and totally striped the top. I actually had to do this process three times to get all the original finish off. Then I sanded and smoothed down the top. Next I applied a walnut finishing oil to set the color I did this three times as well to get the depth of color I was looking for. Finally I applied two coats of poly to seal it.

 

 After finishing the top I painted the bottom with again three coats of ASCP (Annie Salon chalk paint) Old white for a nice thick finish. After completely drying I waxed the entire piece lightly sanded and waxed it again for a final seal.
