Rehabbing a mid century water falls server

There are so many of us that have pieces that were handed down to us in our basement....and are not being used...because they are chipped, the veneer is lifting...or it just doesn't go with your new decor.

I have an amazing client that has an eye for what it can become with a little help from your's truly!  So here is the piece.

As you can see at the bottom and the door there is chipping

These two pictures are our kick off inspiration pieces

I always start out with a drawing so I have an idea where I am going ...

Here you can see the top of the piece with just one layer of paint ..if you look carefully 

the veneer is splitting....I couldn't leave it this way...

I added this product that I purchased at Magnolia Lane Designs in Point Pleasnat NJ called Wood Icing....which can also be used for decorative purposes... but for this it solved the problem...

These are the hardware that we choose to complete the piece from Pottery Barn

I removed some of the paint along the doors and drawers

The holes on the doors were filled in to create a new more modern look with the new handles.

I hope you enjoyed this transformation of a piece that was tucked away to now sits proudly and used...  Give me a call if you are interested in transforming one of your pieces...917-699-1262

Do You Rearrange your home after you de-Christmastize?

It seems like I do a furniture shuffle and items every year after I take down the Christmas decorations.  However, I don't think I am the only one....

President Obama and former Governor of Vermont Jim Douglas tweaking seating arrangements in the Oval Office

Changed up with a table lamp and chair

Ziggy decided to photobomb 

The rearrangement allowed for more comfort in playing scramble

our comfort zone...on a snowy day.

We are prepared in case the electric goes out..

Enjoy the Snow Day!

Oh The Glamour !

It is so funny how life changes!  In my former life I would be up at 4:30 AM, dressed and full make up and on a bus to NYC by 5:30 am.  Now as a life as a painter this is what I wear!

PJ bottoms and Uggs

I love to paint and the many challenges that I receive from my clients!  I do spend a lot of time, researching, combining colors, looking for the right pulls and knobs....This is command central.....not exactly what you expected I am sure.

every breakfast is eaten here while looking for the perfect picture

Today, is a final delivery day for a client that I have been working with for over one year!  

This is here last piece

I will miss working with Amy as she has so many wonderful ideas that have pushed me to visit and accomplish all of them.  The following pictures is our last years journey!

There are many more....but I didn't want to bore you all!   Thank You So Much For The Opportunity!

Happy Holiday!
