Midnight Purple Desk

Painted the desk a midnight deep purple then dark waxed it. Next, painted the handles gold. I had a flower from a previous piece that I thought would look perfect on this as there was a empty space there and Bam! Looks Perfect!

Painted the inside and outside drawers light grey just to go with everything else.

It looks so super beautiful :)

Rustic Table and Chairs

I have been working on this one off and on. I mixed all kinds of teals and blues to get this color for the table bottom. Then I lightly sanded the top and waxed it. Then i collected these chairs till I have a complete set and painted them a cream color and lightly distressed them a bit. Now I put them outside on my patio! Looks super cute:)

Flat Latex Finish/Smooth Chalk Paint Finish...

We use latex paint for our high end finishes. When applied correctly is the best on furniture. We've been custom painting with it since 2010. Our clients keep coming back and referring us! We prefer to use Benjamin Moore latex paint/Fusion Mineral Paint/Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I can use other paints but my favorite is Ben Moore Latex/Fusion Mineral Paint/General Finishes Milk Paint/Annie Sloan. Our finish is very durable with either our latex/mineral paint/milk paint/chalk paint. Our latex has a very fine flat thin finish. With mineral /milk paint it is thin, just not as thin as our latex. Our chalk is the least thin but still thin. We use a hvlp spray gun on our primers and latex paints. On mineral paints/milk/ chalk paints, it will depend on the look that is asked for. It can be hand painted or sprayed. Some of our chalk finishes are wax sealed. If the client asked for a water based sealer finish we use the hvlp gun also. No splotches, splatters, or paint drips either. We do prime our pieces depending on the type of finish you want. If you click on my pictures you can see our flat finish. Paint is included in my pricing for custom orders so keep that in mind when asking for a quote. We go above and beyond for our smooth flat finish. Most of our client orders are latex finish, our clientele loves our flat, smooth, thin professional latex finishes.
