The heat has made getting work done this summer tough, but I was finally able to finish this beautiful piece. This is an Ethan Allen Tallboy from the Heirloom Collection and is probably the heaviest, sturdiest, well-made piece we've worked on. They really don't make them like this anymore. I wanted to brighten it up from the traditional nutmeg color (see last photo) but still appreciate the beautiful wood grain. After lots of trial and error, I ended up using Dixie Belle Voodoo Gel Stain in Au'Natural and Tabacco Road to create this lightened natural color that gives an updated look to this classic well-made piece. We also cut down the boxy base to give it a little more shape and finally added the oil-rubbed bronze hardware which creates a great contrast to the light wood. With 3 large drawers this would be a great addition for storage that doesn't take up a lot of floor space. Check out my listing on Marketplace or message me for details. Please like and share if you don't mind, it helps get my work seen.

Had an opportunity to bring this little family heirloom back, so this sweet young family can use it in their beautiful new home. I fondly called it their little green monster, but it has such a unique shape and was well made and something that she had in the family for many years. So, after lots of stripping and sanding we got through all the layers and were able to freshen it up with Jet Black by Melange Paint. Added a couple layers of water repellant topcoat to make sure it will hold up to the wear and tear that comes with a young active household. The coolest thing was this was a repeat customer that has been so happy with some nightstands they got about a year ago that they trusted us to refresh this special piece. Now that the weather is better, I'm ready to get to work so if you or someone you know is looking for something special, I'd love to help.

We’ve had the honor of redoing multiple dressers that were going to welcome precious newborns to their home and this time it was for ours. So honored that my son and daughter-in-law (Kaleigh McCain)trusted us to refurbish this beautiful antique dresser to be part of their cozy vintage style nursery. This was our first full restoration, no paint. After completing a few repairs, I refinished the surface with General Finishes gel-stain in Antique Walnut and was able to even bring the hardware back to its original luster. I added some cozy tartan plaid drawer liners to fit the vibe and it looks just perfect in his nursery!
We also made the cutest floating book shelves stained in the same color and adding a cute gold rail to hold some of the special books he has already received.
Such an exciting time and beyond grateful we got to be a part in preparing his special space when he arrives home. If you or someone you know is looking for a perfect piece for their space I’d love to help.

Honored to be able to help another friend add the perfect piece to help create a “Cozy Cabin” vibe for her first grandbaby’s nursery. We did a color match with this deep, woodsy green using SW Emerald Urethane to match an accent wall in the nursery and refinished the top in a rugged dark walnut to match the crib. We built a removable changing pad tray and stained it to match the dresser top. I hope this will serve as a multi-purpose piece, adding lots of storage for many years for this sweet young family.
If you or someone you know is looking for something specific or have a piece you want to update, I’d love to help.

We tried something new and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Our kids in Oklahoma wanted some built-ins in their home office and after lots of research we came up with a plan. It changed multiple times but ultimately it came together. We learned so much through the process but the biggest take away was don’t believe how simple they make it look in those 3 minute DIY reels!😅 Building, prepping and painting it in Texas, and transporting it and installing in two different phases made it a bit more challenging, but they were patient and trusted the process and in the end they were so pleased! Probably not going into the custom cabinet business but proud to say we can do hard things! I can’t wait to see it filled with their books and decor. Garrett McCain Kaleigh McCain

I just can't get over this transformation! I grabbed this awesome antique sideboard produced by Empire Furniture Corp, at an auction in Oklahoma. Although it was in great shape, I just didn't feel like the size and style was going to be something that would be appealing to just refinish. So after playing with multiple design ideas, I decided we should repurpose it into a wine cabinet. We decided to make two of the drawers into horizontal wine storage and changed the cabinet door by putting in a glass front. (see last picture) We painted the body with a beautiful neutral called Restoration Bronze by Melange Paint and then stained the top with Voodoo Gel Stain in Au'Natural by Dixie Belle. For protection and durability, everything was top coated with Armadillo Topcoat also from Melange Paint. I added some legs and new brushed brass hardware, and I think it is the perfect combination of modern and traditional. I can see this as a multifunctional piece with plenty of storage to serve as a wine cabinet or a home bar station in somebody's home. Check out my listing on Marketplace or message me for details. Please like and share, I can't wait for someone to get this beauty in their space.

The before and after on these is amazing. We actually purchased these Broyhill nightstands to use for parts on another project, knowing that the tops were in rough shape (see last photo). But once we got what we needed from them I decided we should push ourselves and see if they could be saved. And well, I think they will get a second chance now! After replacing the tops with new wood we painted them in a beautiful shade of green called "Eventide Green" by Melange paint and gave them a nice protective topcoat of Armadillo by Melange. Then because the parts we used were on the base we decided to build custom made wood bases and I wanted to keep it light so I stained it with Voodoo Gel Stain, by Dixie Belle, in the color Au'Natural. These are quality nightstands that have now been modernized and will add a touch of color, while remaining neutral enough to coordinate in a variety of spaces. Check out my listing on Marketplace or message me for details and please like and share, you never know who might have a space to update.

So honored to have a dear friend reach out looking for the perfect piece for her new grandbaby's nursery. She gave me the color and dimensions and asked me to see what we could find. I was so thrilled to find this well-made Broyhill dresser that just needed some TLC. We were able to give it a second chance and now it will be there to welcome their sweet baby boy home. I truly love bringing back pieces that seem to have served their time, but it's even more rewarding when I get to do it for a friend. Let me know if you or someone you know is looking for something specific, I'd love to help.

Nobody called dibs when I offered to customize this pair, so I picked this beautiful color, Antique Black by Melange Paint. It is an earthy off-black color that is the perfect shade to add a touch of charm and sophistication. I loved the brushed brass k***s to modernize and add some contrast to the dark color and I found the perfect complementary drawer liners. I forgot to take a before of these but imagine the dark reddish-brown bedroom furniture from around the 1980's that had big heavy bases and a glossy surface. In order to update that look we slimmed down the base on all sides so that it gives it a softer more updated look. These really are stunning. Please go check out the listing on Marketplace (every like and share helps) or message me for details if you are interested.

So happy I was able to make these beautiful 3 drawer nightstands work for a new client. She had seen an earlier set and really wanted the perfect shade of green and Acadia by Dixie Belle came through for the win. She also wanted silver hardware, which I think it was a perfect touch with his beautiful deep shade of green. Matching pairs are hard to find, and I love that this set had the built-in plug that allows the cords to be tucked away. She just picked them up and was so pleased! It is so fun saving old unwanted pieces and being able to bring someone's vision to life. I have another pair primed and ready if you or someone you know is looking for some new nightstands let know.
