I was fortunate to have friends give me free reign over the design of these! I love the pop of color the print provides and how the custom made buttons work to tie the top and bottom cushions together aesthetically - Thanks again, Sam & Mary!

Pam ordered a set of chairs as a surprise for her sister. We worked through many samples to find just the right fabric, then covered the cushions in a clear vinyl for durability. I touched up various knicks, scratches and spots of wear with a bit of stain and sealed the chair in a wash of semi satin clear coat to protect the finish! I just love how these turned out!

This is actually a table and chairs that I recently refinished for our home. The table was a yellow pine top with a simple white, painted base. I used several layers of varying colors to add depth to the base and then distressed the paint. The top was stained with a rich Mahogany color and then both were sealed with a satin clear coat for durability. The chairs were all reupholstered in different, brightly colored fabrics and painted in an aged aqua. Our family loves this set!

I found this treasure at a local junk shop and just couldn't resist! I wanted to preserve and highlight the gorgeous wood, so I painted the body of this piece a bright aqua, the top a fluorescent lime, restained the drawer faces to bring out the grain, and replaced hardware with funky knobs!

To finish off this piece, I accented the top drawers with a black chalk paint and found a beautiful, laser cut, piece of sheet metal to add to the top of the dresser for that final statement.

I worked with Cindy to initially create 2 beautifully refinished antique folding chairs - she chose this gorgeous geometric fabric and decided to go with the aged aqua finish. I added the stenciling in the center of the medallion to give the piece a more balanced look, and Cindy loved the set so much, she ordered another set! Thank you so much, Cindy!
