I know you all are Probably thinking “this isn’t her style at all!”…. And you’re right! But every once and a while you need to step out of your comfort zone and try a different look. For whatever reason this table gave me a sense of like uptown city glitzy style or upscale condo living so I decided to follow that feeling.
First was to sand off all that old dark stained pine and bring out the light wood grain. I did need to add a chalked white wash to give it an even lighter look and then I sealed it with a couple coats of Minwax Polyacrylic in Ultra Flat. The bottom metal base was sprayed in Rust-Oleum Paint and Primer Metallic Gold.
This accent table measure in at
25” d x 26” w x 21 1/2” h (of course ut can be rotated for a deeper surface)
Would look perfect next to a chair, inbetween two sofas or even as a coffee table. There is plenty of stage space below for magazines, books or a throw blanket.

So who says you can’t love some color and happiness in your life!!!!!
I know this is completely outside of my box but I had to reach out to my customers who love color!!! I’m trying once again to create art with the ombré technique and this was an experiment. I opted to sand down the top of this sweet accent pie crust ball and claw table with hopes of bringing it to life.
I embraced and sealed the lighter shade of wood grain on the top so I chose paint a warm color palette underneath…almost like a sunset. The colors I chose were General Finishes Tuscan Red, DB Apricot and Cayenne followed by some Fluff along the edges. All of these blended colors were sealed in a satin finish. The top was also sealed in Minwax Polyacrylic. Last was to accent all those carving with a gold gilding wax.
This sweet accent table would make a wonderful plant stand or even and accent table next to a side chair.

The refinishing itself started with sanding the top and inside then applying several coats of Minwax Polyurethane to seal that. Ray study l wood. Next I had originally planned on using an appliqué but changed my mind and just started to free hand paint everything. The sides of the piece are also painted but just with a blended technique using the shades and colors same as the sky and grass like on the front of the washstand. The original drawer pulls were sprayed in Rust-Oleum oiled bronze and I found a vintage brass pull for the door that looks like a flower so I just painted red to blend in with the Poppies.

I just finished up this fun Repurpose Project! I mean honestly, the thought of any piece of furniture being dumped in a landfill just drives me crazy. Solid wood furniture is meant to last the test of time so even when these pieces have been bruised, battered and worn I believe we still can find other purposes for them. This was the case with this sad desk!
One of Peter’s coworkers (Thank you sooo much Marci) asked if I wanted this desk and of course I said yes sight unseen. I was thrilled to see when it arrived it was solid pine but it was quite beat up and the center drawer was missing so I decided to just completely dissemble it and set the wood aside for another day. Well that day came this week when I envisioned a nice clean straight lined almost MCM desk. So I sanded that beautiful top down, ordered some Pin legs and used the lower back apron as an additional shelf. After sanding I wanted to just keep the natural wood look so I seal coated it in General Finishes Dead flat Top coat. I also found some old shelf brackets in my stash of junk and was able to use them to lift up and secure the shelf…plus in the process maintain a nice clean black metal design.
This desk offers so much space. Measuring out at 48” w x 27” d x 29” h (32” h shelf). You have plenty of room for your laptop, phone, some smalls and even a lamp. If your looking for a nice clean piece with that nostalgic look and sleek lines then look no further. I’m sorry I had to use one of my vintage chairs for staging. Unfortunately I didn’t have any MCM on Hand

Just finished up this vintage accent table that truly looked like it was ready for the curb! It was all peeling and literally rocked back and forth on it’s weak wobbly legs. But these type of pieces are my favorite for repurposing into Blue Line Flag tables so I knew I had to at least try to resuscitate it!!!
For starters I had to work on those poor legs. I needed to tighten, glue and Brad nail all of them securely to the top. Next was to sand down the top, lower ties and legs. I decided to heavily burn the perimeter of both the top and lower tier then clear coat. The rest of the piece was hand painted in Midnight Sky (Rich deep blue) then heavily distressed. Last was to add that beautiful Blue Line Flag to the top!!!

This piece immediately drew me in with that unique wooden rope pattern around the top…I think that’s the main reason I bought it! Unfortunately there was some veneer damage on two drawer faces so I knew I wouldn’t be able to sand up all the drawers and would need to come up with a new design.
I started by sanding the top which uncovered a beautiful veneer grain. Next was to remove all the veneer from the two damaged drawers and then sand the top three drawers. At that point I opted to paint the exterior of the desk and the lower six drawers in Midnight sky. The rest of the exposed wood was clear coated in several coated of Minwax Polyurethane in Warm Satin. I chose to keep the original hardware but opted to spray it in Rust-Oleum aged bronze and then hand paint in a blended look with a copper metallic finish. Three of the dove tailed drawers were lined with Waverly fabric that has soft shades of gray, black and cream.
This desk has lots of storage and what I also love is it can be faced in the outward direction in a room because I refinished the back. Solid and Sturday I think this vintage piece would be perfect in a bedroom or office. You also could hand a mirror about it and make it a vanity.

This piece arruved in its original oak finish which was nice but a bit blah so I decided to add some color and soften it up a bit. The top was sanded and then whitewashed and sealed with Minwax Polyacrylic to give it that lighter soft color. The base and backsplash was painted in a layering technique using Moss, Duck Egg Blue and a touch of Stormy Seas. Everything was distressed and sealed. Last was to add lots of brown wax to give it a beautifully aged patina! The drawer was lined with Waverly fabric and the sides were stenciled in paisleys. I kept the original metals pulls for the top drawer but chose a ceramic knob with the exact shades of color.

This Vintage Ball and Claw Antique Buffet was manufactured by the “George C Flint Furniture Company”. Through some research I found From the internet: “One of the best-known furniture makers in New York in the 19th Century, George C. Flint opened his impressive showroom in 1868 at No. 106 West 14th Street, surrounded by other grand emporiums. Within ten years he would have a workshop No. 154 West 19th Street and a leased warehouse at No. 304 West Street. Flint’s key to success was to provide the public with attractive, up-to-date designs at affordable prices.”
I purchased this piece from a home in Newton and literally it has sat in my shop for almost 5 years waiting patiently to be refinished. Because of its size I was delayed in my endeavor…..
But, a couple weeks ago I was driven to give this piece a new look so I started by sanding down the top and all the drawer faces. Once the veneer was sanded I opted to burn it to add some depth and character. All the refinished wood was then sealed in Minwax Polyurethane in Warm Satin. Next I painted the remainder or the buffet in black and then lightly distressed and sealed the entire piece.
This antique gem is large which makes it a great piece for storage and also for serving due to its height. If you have a dining room and want a unique piece that eliminates that unwanted China cabinet then I would suggest you take a look at this beauty!
This buffet measures in at
66 1/4” w x 25 1/4” d (center scallop) x 40 1/2” h
There are four dovetailed drawers, a center liquor bottle storage drawer, two swing door areas and the bottom drawer which spans across the entire length of the piece.

Originally I had planned on painting the base BUT after I started to sand the raised old varnish off of the sides the wood just looked soooo amazing. I’m pretty sure this is Cherry and there was no way I was going to paint it. So plans changed and I sanded down the entire piece. I opted to Accent with a little black along the drawer edge and the door oanels and I think that was just enough to make the wood grain look even richer. Everything was sealed in Minwax Polyurethane in Warm Semi-gloss. The inside of the cabinet and the drawer were also sealed. I Also wet sanded the marble top to remove some of the stains…not everything was removed but it still nice. We call it aged patina!

This three drawer nightstand has plenty of storage and with it’s completely new look it’s definitely a looker! I started by sanding down the top to the raw wood then added a very light water washed look and sealed it with several coats Minwax Polyacrylic in Ultra Flat. Next was to try a new technique I’m calling the ”Look and Feel of Linen”. This look was created on all the drawer faces. Everything was sealed in the Polyacrylic once dried. Last was to add those cool ornate metal pulls which compliment the warm tones of the piece.

Just finished up this unique Vintage Solid Wood Corner Cabinet! As you remember this piece showed up on my porch, rescued from a kind friend, in all its blue and white glory
So of course, I couldn’t walk away, I knew this piece had some potential and so the process began.
I had found some amazing floral paper on Amazon and knew in the back of my mind that I wanted to paint it in Hampton Olive so luckily it all matched. I did sand down the shelves to wood and then black
Chalk painted one aside and did the underside in Sand Bar so you can flip the shelves if you want a different look. Those shelves were sealed in Minwax Polyurethane Ultra Flat. The door was very also very flat with no character so I opted to cut some trim work and create a panel. I used an ornate floral stencil with a combination of colors from the floral paper to tie everything together. To finish everything off I was so blessed to find that I had hidden a solid brass drop pull which worked perfectly!!!

This beautiful Antique (walnut I think) Drop Leaf Worm Wood Table has been refinished and is looking for a new home. It was hard to make the choice to sell this beauty but I honestly have no space in my home. I purchased this piece a few weeks back and was instantly drawn to the wood grain and all those amazing little worm holes. I feel when you find a piece like this it really tells you it’s age and also creates such character.
The original finish was in pretty sad shape with water and ink stains along with peeling varnish. I had planned on sanding the top and then painting those beautiful turned legs BUT once I stared sanding I just couldn’t believe the beautiful wood…the paint option was immediately removed from my plans. So the next and final step was to apply several coats of Minwax Polyurthane in warm Satin. ImmediTely the grain popped and boy did it turn out gorgeous! The table underneath has been completely reinforced by the previous owner and it still has the original pegged pull arms to support the leaves. The drawer has a new base and opens and closes easily.
I did stage the table with a dining chair so you could see it’s size. Just remember it’s old so the apron is rather low. I also thing it would make a wonderful accent table, hallway table or even an island work space.
This table measures in at
