Does a dresser need those? Nope.

This piece had been sitting in the work space for quite some time. A drawer was broken and I think a whole drawer was missing! We removed 3 drawers and had some wood cut do fit the empty space. We picked our gray paint and went to work. The leather handles came about when Amanda's husband handed her a pile of give aways and in it was a leather belt. Perfect! We love how it turned out.

Matchmaker

A returning client asked us to be on the look out for a coffee table. She gave us her budget and we were on the hunt. Sure enough we found one at a garage sale. She wanted it to match with some end tables we had previously painted for her. A little paint and some hardware and I think we found a perfect match.

Musical chairs

We collect a lot of chairs. If you took a peek into our workspace you would think we were playing a game of musical chairs. It seems we are always working on them. Refinishing a chair doesn't take too long and they always turn out great! Maybe it's that instant gratification thing, but we can't get enough.

Oops we did it again

We refinish furniture, so we head to Home Depot a lot. As we head to the paint section we alway check out the "oops" paint. It's cheap and sometimes you find a color you never thought of. In this case we found a perfect neutral. We new right away this paint was for these chairs. We love how they turned out. 

The Beast

Ok this piece was huge. It was a little initimidating, but when we started brainstorming with our clients our excitement trumped our fears. Our clients wanted a beachy surf feel, but it also had to blend with the other more rustic furniture on their patio. We love how it turned out. 

Third Times The Charm

This was one of those projects that had a few transformations before I got it right. 

I needed a kitchen island for very little money. So I found this work bench and this oak tablet top on Craigslist.

My first transformation was green spray paint for the base and just some sanding and waxing on the table top for a natural wood look. I lived with it for awhile, but it wasn't quite right. 

The next time around I spray painted the base white and knew I was getting close. 

After I'd lived with it a little longer, I found a tutorial on little green notebook blog for easy concrete countertops. Perfect! I followed the tutorial and I love how it turned out. -Amanda

A little Christmas cheer

We are suckers for the sparkly lights and pretty Christmas things, both new and old. So we couldn't wait to break out the decor and get to work! 

We have had some interest in people wanting help with their decor and that sounds like great fun to us! 

Here's a few little glimpses into our decor. 

We've been told the it's a Christmas experience and we couldn't think of a much better compliment!
