A recent project. I did this half bath because I was trying to use product that I had custom mixed for another job that had fallen through. I hate WASTING product! I used two colors of custom mixed TrueTint Stone, troweled wet on wet. Then I randomly rolled a decorative roller through it for added pattern and interest. Next I troweled some Luster Suede on top. Let all of that dry and then rolled on Sparkle Coat Glaze for some extra shimmer. This was all done on top of the existing base coat, a rosemary green shade.

Another 2019 project for a very patient client!
This was a 50 year old, solid maple table, that she had grown up with. It also had 2 leaves. I don’t do a lot of finish removal but after trying multiple stain colors that’s the route we took.
Thanks Eileen for letting me do my thing!🤓

This lovely piece came from a local shop and it was used as a display piece in the shop. The designer and homeowner planned on using it in the lower level, in the game area. They liked it as it was and called me in to paint and distress the back only. As it frequently happens, in my world, we started talking about adding additional touches of black. The crown, the k***s and the base were also chosen for the same treatment, the rest of the piece is original. I also love how the upper half was separated and mounted on the wall. It really filled the space nicely.

A beautiful antique dresser that was converted into a vanity with an amazing soapstone top. My job was to patch and repaint the drawer fronts and then mix up a custom glaze that made the vanity a more truer blue/green like the color in the soapstone. A subtle transformation but the client and the designer were extremely happy!

Project #2 for the same designer and client. I don’t usually post a “before” picture first but this time I did. This was in the client’s craft room. She loves to repurpose old pieces.
They discovered this vintage sink/vanity at a local dealer. The designer specified the colors and l did some subtle distressing on the cabinet doors after I finished painting it. A new faucet was installed and the client’s colorful photo pics were hung above. What do you think of this cool repurposed project?

FINALLY posting some of my recent work...
This was a classic wood rocker that held a lot of memories for the homeowner.
Lots of babies and grand babies were rocked to sleep in it. It needed an update once it was moved to their new home. It ended up in the guest room and I think it looks great in there!
