Here is some more patina fun that I had a couple weeks ago. This set will be in my Etsy shop. I'm choosing to not focus on my youngest son's comment that it looks like shark diarrhea and instead think of it as a relic found near the sea. Only two more days until Friday and 211 more days until 2121. Yes, I'm counting. Next year MUST be better than this one π€β£β£
Photos from Amini Design Ashburn's post
One of my favorite projects ever was this fireplace in Olive @chalkpaint last year for our master bedroom. I wish someone would bring me another one to custom finish, it was a lot of fun! It has been a nice focal point and sometimes we even remember to style it, but let's be real most of the time it has books, kindles and charging cords on top and that's fine too!β£
β£
Maybe when the seasons change I'll get a chance to do it againπ€β€β£
β£
What do you think of her now? Changed up the staging for this bold turquoise chest of drawers that is available for purchase π
Amini Design Ashburn
That's one I want to keep πβ£

I haven't done many true milk painted pieces and there's no good reason why. I love the look of it being worn and having a story to tell, like this vintage (probably almost antique) library table. Every time I see one available close by I have to talk myself out of it, I have a third one I've been hoarding too π€ͺ Oh the struggle!! Well this one makes my eyes pretty happy and I hope you love it too! Madeover in @shackteau_interiors White Beach and it will be listed soon on Etsy for all you fellow library table lovers. I mean that in the cleanest way possible β€β£

What can I say? I'm a sucker for library tables! The last one I did had a completely different look, see the last post, so for this one I pulled out some milk paint from @shackteau_interiors and let the fun happenβ£
β£
I really have to hand it to him πβ£
β£
My other half of this business, my sweet husband rehabbed this set from beginning to end. It was a vanity that had definitely seen better days and he completely transformed it, from building matching backsplash pieces to prepping, painting, sealing, to me interrupting him a million times, he did it all and I am so grateful. To all the partners that step up when s&*t happens, like migraines that last for days and days, you are APPRECIATED! πβ£
Felt like this one could use a little moody refresh, at the right angle it reminds me of worn in leather but I've been told I'm a little odd π It is now listed in my Etsy shop π€π€ β£
β£
It was given a second look with Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan in Graphite + Honfleur, these handles are D. Lawless Hardware. My favorite place to shop for Chalk Paint is Maison Warehouse in Sterling, VA β€
This petite roll top desk is set for summer in this fun color called Fancy Frock by @countrychicpaint. I remember reading somewhere that your work environment contributes to productivity so don't say I didn't warn you when all you can think about is the beach and you start slacking just a little. This color is worth it! This petite one will be listed on Etsy shortly. Have a great evening!β£

Well this one was fun! β£β£
β£β£
This was a rare find at my local @loudounhabitat months ago and I knew immediately that it had to come home with me. It was missing a caster, a handle was broken and some of the drawer bases needed to be replaced but the pin and cove joinery was too good to pass up! β£β£
β£β£
We used our SurfPrep Sanding to bring out the details of this custom mix of Country Chic Paint Sunday Tea and Driftwood which turned out to be the prettiest greige. I will definitely be making this mix again! β£β£
β£β£
I mentioned on my stories I ordered replacement hardware from House of Antique Hardware knowing I would tone them down once they came in so I used their aging solution coupled with some black wax and it worked out great! This one is available and should be listed tonight. Please send a message with any questions π€ *

πΊ Happy Friday to you πΊ This sideboard was selected from my available inventory and given a modern farmhouse makeover in a creamy off white called Angelic by @paintcouturepaint and lightly distressed to show off those details. β£
β£
If you are in need of a special piece, check out the highlights of available inventory. We are also accepting commissioned work if you own a piece and are looking to have it madeover.
SOLD
FOR SALE - Happy Friday everyone. We are adjusting to the new norm over here and that includes a lot of painting time for me. That might even mean come winter I can park a car in the garage π I may or may not have inventory that number in the double digits. What can I say? Have a wonderful new norm adjusted weekend π
FOR SALE - Today is finally the day πβ£β
β£β
I have been so excited to share these transformed nightstands from the moment they were completed π This set is so special because I had the opportunity to use Annie Sloan Pearlescent Glaze which has been released as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of her incredible Chalk Paint line! β£β
β£β
Ok where to start? The glaze is SHIMMERY, SMOOTH, glides on so easily and leaves an AMAZINGLY refined finish. Scroll through these photos to see exactly why I'm crazy about it! See the shine?β
β£β
Happy happy birthday Chalk Paint π and a super thank you to Annie Sloan + Fiona for all the fun I had with this beautiful glaze π I can't wait to do more with it!

#anniesloanhome Chalk Paint
FOR SALE - Beach vibes to the max πβ£
β£
Reminiscing and at the same time looking forward to when we can all be together again. This blended blue bookcase (say that three times fast) was the top of a china cabinet from a previous buffet makeover. Add some bun feet, solid wood shelving and well there you go - a modern bookcase ready to serve in style.β£ Send a dm with any questions π€
β£
Paint colors are @anniesloanhome @chalkpaint in Aubusson, Louis Blue and a mix of Old Ochre and Old White for the interior.
FOR SALE - Had to raid my hoard stash of hardware today ππ β£
β£
I was beyond happy to find these antique pulls from a piece I madeover a few years back. Funny thing is I don't even remember what piece they came with but I do remember putting them away for later thinking one day they'll be perfect! I think this pretty pink dresser was meant for it all along π It will be in my Etsy shop shortly.β£

Every lady needs a little black dress π€
She has waited a long time and is now ready to make an entrance in hers with her pretty teardrop jewelry. She had a sweet look before (swipe to see) but she got bored and changed it up into something a little more sassy π€
She's at that age ~100 years old where she is ready to settle down, and don't you know she picked a good city to call home NYC π₯³ I don't blame her one bit!
Her updated fanciness is Baltic Black by @paintcouturepaint and drop pulls from @dlawlesshardware
When you look good you feel good π
.
This black beauty is finally wearing the right dress and is ready to celebrate π She is ~100 years old or so and has a lot of life left to live. She wants to see and be seen π€π€ Can't wait to show you her reveal tomorrow!
Throwing it back to my first piece, a family piece that still lives with me and my family of boys. This one was done in one of my favorite colors, Old Ochre with clear and dark wax in @chalkpaint. I'm so happy to say it's still looking good π
Happy Monday and happy almost March to you. Isn't this little music cabinet fun? It is Fireworks by @countrychicpaint with antiquing wax π and it's making me want spring to get here soon, like today πΊ
Send a message with any questions - it's available!
Thank goodness for clients that are willing to look beyond the "right now" and imagine the "what if" π 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 π
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 π
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 π
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 π¨π
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 π
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 π€¦ββοΈβ€
Sneak peek of an adorable vintage desk given a @thechippybarn makeover in Cottage White! Love this color curated by the incredible @katiecloud π©βπ¨
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*
Single close up because these details make me happy π
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 π

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

βWhat a great coffee bar! It is available with all the details in the shop section β
Happy Saturday! Remember this one? We took it from dark and unloved to this cutie. Rebuilt drawers, added D. Lawless Hardware wood appliques and painted those details with my favorite Zibra Paint brush, made a plank wood shelf and used my wood graining tool for the first time! This color believe it or not is not white, off white or anywhere close, it is General Finishes Chapin Gray and the top is Chapin Gray + water base Walnut stain. Scroll through and take a peek. So much better right?
A little πΆπΌπ΅this morning with this view. We ship and deliver too! #forsale #furniture #smallbusiness #shop
A little clip of dry brushing on the mirror that is available in the shop section. After this color was applied, next came a touch of gray, gold, silver and ebony gilding π€ Send any questions & messages my way #paint #painted #generalfinishes #diy #chalkpaint #milkpaint Zibra Paint
It's spring break! Time to have some fun!
This buffet is still a work in progress, but it's getting there slowly. I have a base coat of General Finishes Snow White , HPTC, black powder glaze and gold leaf to fancy it up a little. When the top coat goes on it will really come to life π₯
Happy Friday! Don't know why but I'm over here thinking about the one that got away. Furniture of course β€ Full reveal in comments β¬

Thank you for stopping by our page and supporting small business and local artisans! Here at Amini Design Ashburn we understand the desire to have beautiful furniture which serves a much needed function and have lovingly been providing this service for clients across the Washington, DC area and across the country.
Our love for refinishing furniture blossomed out of a desire for me to stay home while my children were little and continue to help support our family. While our children kept me busy at home, I managed to find a few minutes between school drop offs, pick ups, naptime, playtime and my time (usually after 8 pm) to nurture my love of being creative and making things beautiful. Of all things, I chose furniture and am so glad I did! This small business began in 2016 and have enjoyed watching it blossom and grow through the years.
We offer furniture refinishing which means your beautiful end table or buffet that you have lovingly used for the last twenty years can wear a brand new look proudly, or that family heirloom piece that just doesnβt quite fit in with your present decor can enjoy a makeover that fits your style. You can also shop our refinished pieces which are available with local delivery and nationwide shipping.
We are grateful for the support we have received and please reach out if we can be of service to you!
