  Brown Dresser  

this smaller dresser with six drawers resides in a mother-in-law suite. it was finished to match two nightstands which sit on the opposite side of the bedroom from it. a drawer from one of the nightstands was used as our color and appearance match.

it's moving day for this small dresser, as it will be transported back to home base for the refinishing work to take place. moving blankets are used as our travel protection.

a drawer was taken from two matching nightstands to act as our visual cue.

one of the "secrets" to a good result in furniture finishing is maintaining
steady consistency over the entire course of a project. proper prep is not a race.

a combination of hand sanding and power sanders will be used on this piece. care

must be taken in all cases when choosing the right grit. coat 1 of primer on right.

two different potential base colors were considered here before the top one, seen in the photo below, made it clear that it was a near perfect match in this case. it's name is "weathered white".

having a drawer on hand for comparison eliminates guess work and saves all parties involved a lot of aggravation later on.

our grain pattern match for the drawers is progressing along nicely on the left. on the right, we've erased our wavy lines from earlier and finalized the top of the dresser.

a clear polyurethane was used here over the faux work as long term protection.

Anchor 1

  TV  Dresser 

this tv dresser was finished to match a set of bar cabinets just on the other side of the fireplace seen in the final photo below, so that they would serve to offset each other.

   Tabletop Refinish   

in the first image this drop leaf table

can be seen just after it's arrival back at "headquarters". the remainder of the series show it's trip through various steps in the refinishing process. this piece has been in the client's family for quite some time and has a high level of sentimental value attached to it. the main idea from a refinishing aspect was to clean up all of the different scratches and dings from years gone by while maintaining the woodgrain's beautiful appearance. in the final photo it has assumed it's rightful position back in a small dining section just off the kitchen in this home.

  damaged limestone table repairs  

  two tables have each suffered from being knocked over at various points and having bits and pieces chipped out of their perimeter edges. in the pics below the edge damage can be seen and the start of their journey back to looking the way they were meant to has begun.

  after  

  this table repair is complete and it's ready to get transported back home. several things were at play for this project including what to use on the repairs, matching the contour of the table's edge curve and creating a reasonable match on the actual limestone surface "dimples". once those issues were all addressed, a lower sheen clear coat was added to the program for spill protection.
