Thank goodness for clients that are willing to look beyond the "right now" and imagine the "what if" 🙌 I am so grateful to you!
This set really turned out pretty sweet. It is hard to see from the distance but it has the same aged black finish as the tall chest of drawers completed a bit ago with @paintcouturepaint in Baltic Black

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend! We plan on being homebodies until the kids germs they picked up move on out. Someone mentioned that might be a few more years... I think they're right 😉

These antique pieces always look so alive once they are refreshed. This client owned beauty was madeover in a classic navy called Coastal Blue by General Finishes. It seems so natural, like it was meant to be this color all along 💙

If you would like some Coastal Blue of your own, head on over to Nova Design & Build where you can snag 15% off your General Finishes purchase using code AMINIDESIGN and happy almost FRIDAY 🎉

Any furniture whisperers around?

Every time I makeover an antique I wonder if it has a story to tell and if it does what would it be? Do you so the same? Gorgeous antique oak chest of drawers in one of my favorite colors of all time (client owned)

My sister is so sweet! She made these shirts for the painting community when I told her I wished there was some cute paint swag around. She designed these so I would stop harassing her! Let me know if you'd like one and I will get you in contact with her 🎨🖌

Happy weekend! I had so much fun making this over with texture galore in Scandinavian Pink and Old White Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. It might be a tough one to let go, being a boy mom of 4 it might be the only pink in the house I get 💕

Check out the comments to see a few more pics!

Sneak peek of one that I might have a hard time giving up. Textured and pink with a piece of trim on my kitchen counter that I forgot to glue back on before taking the photo because two kids with the flu has got me exhausted. It will be there for the next photo, hopefully 🤦‍♀️❤

Sneak peek of an adorable vintage desk given a @thechippybarn makeover in Cottage White! Love this color curated by the incredible @katiecloud 👩‍🎨

This tall chest is all dressed up and ready for a Valentine's Day night out! We used Baltic Black by Paint Couture Paint Company and fabulous wood appliques by D. Lawless Hardware. The drop pulls have me swooning! *Client owned*

01/27/2020

Single close up because these details make me happy 😍

01/26/2020

Happy Sunday! Well this mahogany chest of drawers is on the way to a lovely family that just moved stateside after being overseas for years. They said it is time for some solid wood furniture now that we are home and are here to stay. I'm so happy they chose to refresh vintage pieces because they are getting the best of both worlds - quality and a custom finish.

This beautiful color which is a creamy warm white is Angelic by Paint Couture Paint Company and it definitely was the perfect choice paired with a warm walnut stain to make this chest shine pretty again. If you like to see some behind the scenes and sneak peeks before pieces are posted, head on over to my Instagram page at instagram.com/aminidesignashburn and give us a follow 😍

Classic and fresh! @paintcouturepaint in Angelic worked some magic on this mahogany chest of drawers. Here's a little sneak peek 😍

This damaged table was hiding in someone's garage, but we're so glad she saved it!: https://www.hometalk.com/l/0LsZ

When you have already edited the photo and realize dang, I forgot to close that drawer 😆

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful weekend we are having here in Northern Virginia. The weather is spring like and I just couldn't help bringing that season inside to stage this antique oak dresser. I used a beautiful creamy neutral from the fabulous Paint Couture Paint Company called Angelic with their smooth Satin top coat. Their paints are beautiful and can be sprayed and applied with a brush! I am in love with how well they self level!⠀
⠀
Thank you all for helping out with my poll for the third rosette. I went for it and am so happy I did. Iron Orchid Designs moulds for the side detail and key hole covers dressed up this piece subtly and while it does show signs of its age with the wood, this is one piece of history I wouldn't mind keeping for myself but all my painting friends know how that goes...⠀
⠀
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and for those that made it this far, this one is AVAILABLE! Adding it to my etsy shop tomorrow, but please send a dm with any questions ❤

You will never really know how much it means but I promise you, it truly brightens our day every single time. We (my husband and I) are so grateful to be part of this community and looking back we had a blast with these colorful pieces! Here is our top 9 and looking forward to a happy, healthy and FUN 2020 🎉

Happy Friday! I can probably count on my hand the number of times I have found the EXACT same piece to makeover but this cute secretary was one of them.

I used Dune Grass by @countrychicpaint on the body along with their satin top coat and then their gorgeous antiquing wax on the legs after using a holiday present to myself, the Surfprep @surfprepsanding to prep and shared a video on how simple it was to use after getting a few tips from Sarah @sittingprettyhomedecor. Spot the pretty floral decoupage on the interior?

Scroll through for different views. This one is available for purchase 💚 Happy traveling everyone and wishing you the happiest holiday season!

12/01/2019

Happy Friday! It is supposed to be a rainy one here in the Northern Virginia area but that doesn't mean it has to be dark and dreary. This side table is making sure things don't get sleepy around here! Madeover in @chalkpaint in Florence with clear/dark wax and in time for #thezibradiaries jewel tone this month. This is available for purchase 💙 and you can satisfy all your chalk paint needs at @maisonwarehouse

A little refresh on this Monday morning. This @anniesloanhome beauty in Old Ochre is available and ready for a new home. What a wonderful gift this would be 🌲

11/14/2019

This was one of my all time favorite makeovers! I'm not sure if it was the Eastlake drop pulls or the jewel tone of this green but we have a few beauties in inventory that would look amazing in this color!

11/13/2019

These nightstands got a much deserved makeover in a brand new color from the Beautiful Home Collection by @thechippybarn. It was curated by one of my favorite refinishers to follow @katiecloud and named Cottage White. It is the perfect creamy white for sure ❤ This cute set is available to make your space bright and cozy just in time for the holidays (where is the turkey emoji when ya need one?)

Happy weekend! Oh I'm just over here, still up early on Saturdays even though football is over. Why did I think it would be any different? Sneak peek of this set that is looking farmhouse pretty that will be available shortly 🌿 What are your weekend plans?

11/06/2019

Raise your hand if you love dressing up your pieces 🙋‍♀️ I had a good time with this one using amazing casting resin and molds. Simple classic lines are beautiful no doubt, but sometimes it needs just a little extra

11/05/2019

Happy Tuesday! We certainly had a mild one here today with beautiful weather around 65 and I'm not complaining about it! We had hoped to take a daycation and shuffle the kids to our favorite place, Busch Gardens but then we remembered our oldest has his final football game of the season tonight 🙌 It will be nice to sleep in on Saturdays again!

In all the excitement today for launch day I forgot to share my favorite shot of this pretty piece. It started out pretty grungy but don't they all? This one is painted in Blue Ridge, from the Beautiful Home Collection with @thechippybarn. I am really loving this color and hope it has peaked your interest too! Blue Ridge is available to purchase, and this piece is too!

Here is the link to check out Blue Ridge and the entire collection. https://www.thechippybarn.com/products/blue-ridge?variant=31029086486612

There truly is something for everyone and I can't wait to show you more! The collection launches November 5 so stay tuned for this opportunity to refresh your space with these 16 new colors!

10/25/2019

Happy Friday to you. This stately piece is finally ready to serve in style for the holidays. Can you believe it sat in the workshop for months just hanging out. So happy it finally spoke to me. Sometimes pieces just need time to let us know what outfit they want to wear. This one wanted to be classic and able to dress your space for years to come. This is @generalfinishes Empire Gray and the fabulous @dlawlesshardware drop pulls. It can be yours - send a message for more details.

Do your pieces speak to you or do I need some time away?? 🥴

10/13/2019

Happy Sunday! With the cooler temps FINALLY making their way over I can't help but think of how cute this dresser would be in a little girl's room around the holidays. I know some in the midwest already have snow, so this pic should definitely feel right at home (sorry!) Send a message for more details

10/10/2019

These beauties are all available to be finished in your choice of color and style. Scroll through for so many options. Booking now so get it in before the holidays!

Happy Monday! It has been raining all day here, is it raining where you are too? I love the rain but it does make taking photos a bit harder when trying to capture the natural light but sometimes a moody pic works 🧡 🍁🍂

This antique washstand was completed as part of the #lustrumchallenge hosted by @countrychicpaint and the talented ladies of @thefurniturediaries to celebrate Country Chic Paint's five year anniversary. The Lustrum Challenge consists of 20 furniture artists completing a piece in a color from the Lustrum Collection. None of us knew what color we were going to get so it was such a fun surprise to receive the package and see this beautiful fall color called Sparklers. The Furniture Diaries will open up voting in a few days for you to choose your favorite from the Collection. Any color you pick is a good choice! The artists all did such a gorgeous job, the colors are all fantastic and I am so happy that I was able to participate 🧡 #countrychicpaintlove #countrychicpaint #ccplustrumcollection #ccpsparklers #ccplustrumchallenge
