Custom Orders - Black, Black and More Black

We've been slow getting new items posted lately and that's mostly because we've been doing a lot of great custom orders. The last few weeks have been filled with lots of black paint and dark stain. Here's just a couple of the most recent pieces that we have been working on.
 
 I love these tables... we had a customer that wanted to come and see a table we had for sale... that table didn't work for her so she picked out something from our stock, chose her colours and away we went. A couple days later she decided that she had another table (the round one) at home that she would like painted to match. Its great that they belong together but aren't too matchy.
 
This dresser set is for a little boys "BIG BOY" room... a past customer emailed us looking for a simple style dresser. We didn't have anything that we thought would work so we spent a few days hunting furniture on Kijiji and came across this perfect dresser that just needed a coat of paint and some stain. They loved it! She later remembered the 2 night tables that she already had and we painted them to match. This was meant to be because they look great together and this little family was really excited to get them home.
 
 
Do you have a specific piece that you're looking for? Do you have furniture in your house that needs updated? Email us... we have lots of stock ready to paint, refinish or sell as is and we're always happy to provide a quote.

Three Tier Shelf - SOLD

Here's an oldie but a goodie... we gave this old shelf an updated look with a simple coat of white milk paint. This piece was in my grandparents house and I remember looking for batteries or rubber bands that would be in the cubby section. Great for any room this piece will add lots of cute charm and character and last for many more years.
 
Measures 23 inches wide x 29 1/2 inches high x 7 1/2 inches deep. 
 
SOLD 





Stone Grey Vintage Tallboy - SOLD

This is a really cool dresser. We just love the chunky old wooden knobs and the orangey rub through on this piece. Perfect at home or for the cottage. TONS of storage and a super great look.
 
We used Rushmore Chalk and Mineral Paint by American Paint Company. There hasn't been a lot of opportunity for us to use chalk paint but we are really excited about the way this turned out and definitely will be using it again!
 
Ok back to the dresser... painted, distressed and then sealed with beeswax. Top was stained a black/ebony stain and then sealed with 2 coats of durable poly. Hardware is original and painted to match. Two of the five dovetailed drawers also have a removable center divider.
 
Measures 33 1/2 inches wide x 18 1/2 inches deep x 48 inhes high.

SOLD
