Furniture Friday #10 and Link Party

Wow!  Furniture Friday has made it to double digits.  How exciting.  Thank you for all who supported our first 9 Furniture Fridays and for sharing such great projects.  

After the success of our Midnight Dream Dresser revealed at Furniture Friday #7,

I just knew I had to do the same finish on a desk.
Here is my victim. A nice vintage desk with curved drawers and pretty hardware.

I used Rustoleum Navy blue and covered it in metallic glaze and then coated it all with poly.
The only thing is that the photography makes it look darker than it actually is.  In a way that is a good thing for me because this means next time I can do a true navy blue piece of furniture and know that I am going to like the finish.

I also lined the drawers with a funky paper to finish it off.

and of course it is called The Midnight Dream Desk.

Now time to party!!

Furniture Friday #9 and Link Party

Happy Friday peeps!!  How has your week been?  I've had mom brain or something all week.  I actually had a moment where I threw my families food from the drive-thru (In-n-out burger) in the trash.  Luckily I realized it before it was too cold and applied the 5 second (OK 5 minute) rule to it since it stayed in the bag and hopefully didn't get germies in it.  I think I bit off more than I can chew this week and my brain could not focus.  

The good news is that I was able to get a custom piece finished.  It's the same dresser that was featured at Furniture Friday #7, except our client asked us to paint it again, so we did.  

It started as this
Then went to this
and now it looks like this
We ended up getting a custom order from a dresser we had painted already which is awesome.

Now lets party!!

Thank you to all who linked up last week, it always makes me feel so loved when I get y'all to visit my blog.  I feel inspired from all of your projects.

Furniture Friday #8 and Link Party

Thank you so much to all who participated in Furniture Friday last week.  In total we got 37 entries.  Tomorrow we will share the features from last weeks party.

I feel so bad I've got nothing new to post this week.  It's been so windy here this week so I haven't gotten anything done (at least not in the painting world).  Not to fret my dears, because I have a couple of projects to show you from my early blogging days, you know those days when nobody read my blog but me.

Recently I've decided to add some of my old projects to our Etsy Shop to show everyone what finishes we have available.  Well these two are pretty popular so thought I'd share them with you.

Here is a custom dresser I did for a little girl named Emma.

The Emma Dresser


Read my original post on this dresser here.

This dresser was one of my very first when we opened our shop.  and because of it I got a custom order on refinishing a dresser you have seen before.  I promise I will show you the finished product next week.

The Trois Chic Dresser

Read my original post on this dresser here.

Now lets get to the party.

Furniture Friday #7 and Link Party

Welcome to Furniture Friday dolls.  It's been an uneventful week as the weather has been California crazy. For you non Californians, crazy california weather includes rain, cloudiness, cool breeze, sun, then overcast, then rain, etc. etc.  I really shouldn't be complaining as I would've given my left arm for weather like this last year when I was living in Cincinnati, but it does put a damper on the projects.

Elaine and I were lucky to find enough sun to get two projects done.  First, Elaine painted this dresser with great lines.  Here is what it looked like before.


She used a red primer and a black paint and then distressed it to show through some of the red.  We call it the Black Pearl Dresser.


and remember that other metallic project I promised you?  Well here it is....
Unfortunately I did not snap a before picture, but it looked very similar to this dresser which I did another metallic finish on.


This time I used Rustoleum Navy Blue on it, but it looks more cobalt and added the metallic glaze in a straight motion.



Now who's up for a party!!
