<br />
I'm so picky when it comes to picking my own pieces. it has to be unique, something you don't see often... I've been searching for a cabinet/ bookcase for such a long time. I mean lonngggg time. They're either very plain and cheap, or omg gorgeous but expensive!! I'm not gonna lie, I'm more on the cheapo side. So after a long time of searching for nothing, I kinda forgot about it.... Until recently I found this! I went to an estate sale specifically for her (and other things)! luckily no one grabbed her before me. <br />

I didn't want to paint her. She was just on the tired side, her wood was dried out and was orange! I didn't have to do any prepping, just got straight to staining. I did stain her Kona thinking the orange tones would make it be more of a dark walnut, but it turned out even better, very dark with red undertones.. Just how I like it! <br />

<br />
So Tomarrow, September 8th, ill be a vendor at the Rosebowl FleaMarket. Great. All my cool finds ( you know, the ones that you say "ill just keep for now")will possibly find new homes. Like my precious ironstone...some clocks, wire baskets/metal buckets, the whole knob collection ( I mean e v e r y t h i n g), my iron birdcage, oh the pretty lamps.... They'll be up for grabs. I guess it's a good thing that I'm doing this, I can't keep everything I like, only things I'm attached to. <br />
<br />

<blockquote><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's a recent project that I've finished in this past month.... A mid century bedroom set. Yes Mid Century. I actually felt bad painting it... It had beautiful grain but there was just too much veneer missing to restain it and not look blotchy because underneath the veneer was a totally different wood and would catch differently... Soo paint it is!</span><br />

( now a days it's just compressed wood/ funky looking furniture.) when I first saw it I knew it was supposed to be mine! Her unique shape, and she had "THE LEGS". At the time I loved anything with Queen Anne's legs. <br />
<br />
This is how I got her, all original. She was too faded to leave as is. And I was clueless of how to restore...<br />

And this was her first look! I wanted white and I wanted blue. And of course a dark stained top. <br />
So, I came up with this! I could have both colors I wanted! <br />

So done she was and right away put in her forever spot. Which was in my room. I'll be honest I wasn't careful with her. I would craft, write, and do make-up, which all the tools used to do those things WOULDN'T be gently put on her. I DIDNT put felt pads on half the things that rested upon her, not helping being dragged on the top. She was scratched and it was all my fault. After a year of abuse, I decided to give it another make over. This time for her to go to a new home. <br />
<br />
Here's makeover # 2.<br />

Same old prepping was done, sanding and reinforcing a leg that had became loose.<br />
<br />
I've painted it a mix I made with Martha Stewarts Precious Metals and regular blue paint. <br />
It's not too shimmery but enough to shine beautifully in lighting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If she doesn't sell at the asking price, nothing lower, I'm keeping it!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

It's been alittle busy here lately because of all the custom refurbishments we had to do for some clients in the past month. All that is done now. We can move on to new things that just came in.<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
These desks have been done for awhile but I finally had the time to post them. These were actually some freebies from the cities annual clean up, which you can read about it here. <br />
<br />
Mid century desk #1<br />
This desk wasn't so bad when we picked it up. The leg was screwed off but that was it. It was very clean, all it needed was a wipe down and then off to painting. <br />
<br />
The before. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNTXHKQbKKi6jL2d6J2E4NqqXRFEqCBbaegTvSHfMchmxm4XFF9CUC03SqPMGB-REDGc8iQMdbnK3ex_d0KjKwKq0aWYxxI-ZqD5QK3eD3Hm6IZkDHizqtu2olaWsm4wyDxT3pAt5zJQ/s1600/13+-+7" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDNTXHKQbKKi6jL2d6J2E4NqqXRFEqCBbaegTvSHfMchmxm4XFF9CUC03SqPMGB-REDGc8iQMdbnK3ex_d0KjKwKq0aWYxxI-ZqD5QK3eD3Hm6IZkDHizqtu2olaWsm4wyDxT3pAt5zJQ/s320/13+-+7" /></a><br />
<br />
Not so bad, quite nice actually for being original but of course here at Chateau Revivals, we prefer things painted.<br />
<br />
And then...<br />
<br />
The after<br />

She was painted a custom grey/blue along with Kona stained drawers and legs, she was then after sealed with a poly.<br />
<br />
She looks totally different, it's so modern! More our style!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Mid century desk #2<br />
<br />
Here's one that had its problems. This thing was actually a sewing machine, with no sewing machine. The finish was super chipped off, the top had the sewing machine hole along with imprints of what used to be tile?? Someone tortured this poor thing. <br />
<br />
The before..<br />

<br />
A brand new top was bought, the whole thing was sanded down to bare bone. She was painted Behr's paint and primer Zen. The top is stained Varathane's Early American stain.<br />
<br />
She's all better now, and of course super cute!<br />
<br />

I got a really good deal on both because the second chair had it's cane back torn right in the middle. I am still working on that chair, but I have to figure out how to upholster the back, as I can't find a matching replacement for the cane. Well...here is one of the chairs, which I decided to paint in a custom mix of almost white grey, it's a very subtle color, and the upholstery I chose is a very pretty teal pattern bought at JoAnns. (well..I think it's pretty)<br />
<br />
Here is the before and the after.<br />

The annual Sping cleaning pick up.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the before.. just a dusty old dresser in need of some loving. Some of its molding on the sides were missing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lwSf2Ir50Ks/UVDxftA9PxI/AAAAAAAADOY/wY-UDkl5mYU/s640/13+-+1" width="640" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The grain of the wood was too beautiful to cover so I decided to restore them to their original charm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They're stained with a kona/ebony mix and sealed with 2 coats of water based poly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

He told me that it would be his project and it was a piece he liked a lot and would make a new leg for it and fix the others. Now, he is not a carpenter, we don't have the right tools to make something...we just fix what we can, but...he did it, he made a leg for this piece, and is now a great desk. He chose the color and the stain, despite me telling him the top stain would not go because of the red mahogany wood, it will bleed through the stain he chose..he did not listened to me, he insisted..."ok" I said..."I'll do what you want me to do," well....I like how it came out. He picked a stain called "Weathered" by Varathane, and a custom grey color with a hint of blue mix, the red tones on the top mixed with the stain look great. This is a piece I would like to keep for me. The side drawer handles were sprayed with a metallic beige paint from Krylon, but he wanted me to just clean the knobs for the middle drawer, he wanted the "green patina to remain on the knobs," he said. Here is what it looks like now, the before and the after.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So lets start here....... The BEFORE..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be honest this piece was very clean with no damage what-so-ever. Just a bit dusty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But for me... a bit boring. and that gold background in the shelving area?..Uhh no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is what I came up with. A light grey body with a turquoise background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I actually had the shelves made because I wanted to replace the glass shelving it originally had... </div>

<br />
The paint was a custom color of a soft grey/ blue mix glazed with a black. The top is Dark Kona protected with Varathane 's water based poly (Is it just me or does it seem that Varathane changed their water based poly along with their new labels?). Once again, the knobs are from Hobby Lobby. And those details on the sides... Oh my!<br />
<br />
I wished to keep her but by the time I made up my mind, she sold.<br />
<br />
I guess you don't know what you really have til it's gone!<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally... After months just sitting there I have decided to work on this poor thing. It was barely clinging on to life!I mean look at it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEjrm-pY0g1nP7nTxtLhze9KzdaDQyOqpM4Eo4D3OcwM_-aZ8SAnP4UvjcvLLAlIUHOa-IHAXr5RIq008kWw_BVg0tvtuChcPq03-nmYG8PzVNiZoQoccj7yNw-PfPwoeMpzAdCQcrX10/s320/blogger-image--74356162.jpg" width="320" /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The sad before... Who would do that to the drawer! It was cut in half and made into two drawers.. and the top with the pretty detail sadly could not be saved! I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the drawers inside.... the bottom was split in half and All of them were like that! and this poor dresser was covered in layers of paint...type of paint that would still stick no matter what you put on it. The legs were split as well, the whole thing was wobbly! this thing had problems!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And after i fixed those problems....</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">THE AFTER! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to paint her blue with a medium tint of grey. I then glazed with a tint of black. The top and the side panels are stained with a dark walnut/ Kona mix and then sealed with a water based poly. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And of corse, the two top knobs are from Hobby Lobby and the handles are from a <span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">miscellaneous stash of handles and knobs.</span><span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0pt;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it came out quite lovely from the previous state is was in!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I almost did not buy this piece because it was sitting on the floor , no base, no legs, and the paint this poor thin had...oh my...well, I took the challenge. I stripped this piece completely, top, body, drawers, the entire piece became raw wood. I decided to paint it a almost white with just a hint of grey color, custom made. I took my sample to HD and decided on Behr's paint and primer with stain block in semi-gloss, the top was sanded with 100 to 2500 grit for a mirror like finish. I also water sanded it for that extra smooth feel. I decided to use Dark Walnut stain from Minwax.<br />
<br />
This dresser has two side doors that when open reveal beautiful wood drawers, those I also stained them like the top. It is a very long piece, but I think is beautiful.<br />
<br />
Here is the before.....<br />

Upright Dresser</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a different type of dresser, the doors open to reveal three inside drawers that pull out, perfect for lingerie. The bottom drawers are very deep. I painted the body with a very light blue, and the inside of the bottom drawers a very light grey, I also painted the drawers behind the doors a very light grey, but only the front of them. Now, the top of this piece is not original, I was not able to save it and it had to be replaced, but now it has a very nice thick all wood top which has been stained with dark walnut and protected with water based poly.</div>

The top was stained with only Kona, but since the wood has red tones, it turned out different, it looks like I used Red Mahogany, but I did not. I also did the top with water based poly for protection. Now, this piece is unique, the top looks like three individual drawers where in fact, the entire top is a single drawer.<br />

Here is one that I have decided to keep if it does not sell. It has been painted with a custom made color, which turned out to be a very light grey/green color. I took the mix to HD to get it color matched and chose Behr's paint and primer with stain block, eggshell, it turned out beautiful (my opinion) <br />
<br />
I always sand between coats, but I use 2500 grit, yes I know, it's a very fine grit,(it's used for water sanding car paint) but I do like to feel the surface as if I am touching a mirror, nice and smooth, extremely smooth I would say, but I love the feel. I also did the top with a mix of Kona by Varathane and Red Mahogany by Minwax, then topped with four coats of water based poly by Rust-oleum, water-sanding it for that extra smooth feel. The molding detail on this pieces is beautiful!<br />
<br />
The hardware was spray painted with oil rubbed bronze and I used Rub-n-Buff silver to make the detail stand out.<br />
<br />
So here is how it came out. I do apologize for the photos as they were taken with my I-pad. Soon I will get a good camera to take the photos.<br />

Its the first one done just like its the first one on the list...<br />
<br />
Okay! For this desk I wanted something not too neutral and not too bold. I chose a soft blue because I thought it balanced out with its cute size. Its soo perfect for a kid I believe!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's the before....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It had layers.... This poor thing had LAYERS. Layers of I don't know what. First, it had a freshly painted white coat of paint which the seller admitted they just painted it the night before because right under the white is was the ugliest pink ever to exist in the color spectrum. And under that was a creamy yellowish white, which I don't believe was paint. It would not come off....AT ALL. I tried 3 different stripping gels, nothing. Maybe sanding with the lowest grit of sand paper in the same spot for a while, nada. I even tried bathing it with Acetone and Paint Thinner....still no luck. It was very irritating and frustrating. There was no way I was gonna just paint the whole thing. C' mon! There was beautiful wood under there. Last option. I put the stripping gel, the most harshest one I could buy, Jasco's, I mean the label itself said it takes off MULTIPLE layers in one application so I had to. I let that sit for about 30 min then the fun started by using a steel brush to scrub that precious wood. And that's how I took it off.....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
It came out quite lovely! The rest is the same old, same old. The top was actually stained with the new color by Minwax called Expresso. It wasn't turning out as dark as I wanted it so I added a layer of Kona. The top was finished with a water based poly that goes my the name of Varathane.<br />

The body was waxed with clear wax to protect and so was the inside of the drawers which were painted a light grey.</div>

Lately, I have been collecting them and I keep getting the urge to go back to that lovely store for more! Half the time I purchase knobs and I don't even know what piece to put them on or even if I have piece! Good thing its a journey to get there which restrains me from constantly going back.<br />
<br />
Do any of you have that same problem?<br />

I already know the next month is going to be crazy trying to prep 10 things all at once to get ready for the Rose Bowl flea market, especially at the last minute! That's if a space that's as awesome as the one we got last time is open for availability..Right next to the gate... Everyone that enters and exits sees our fabulous pieces and fantastic finds! And great exposure to Chateau Revivals! Yay for US<br />
<br />
Anyways... Here's the new pieces that will be available soon! I'm working on them to get them all dolled up!<br />
<br />
The tiny desk.. Believe the name. This ones petit! She has the cutest details... Vertical grooves and <br />
Cury Curves! <br />

Three drawer dresser. To tell the truth half of this piece is fake. But the shape and style got me. I couldn't say no.<br />

<br />
And the most prized piece I have right now.... The 4 drawer dresser. I really want this for myself. But I told myself only of it doesn't sell I'd keep it. So if you come and see this piece at the flea market, don't buy it!... I'm totally kidding..<br />

Another ugly piece that needs a major makeover... The skinny 4 drawer I don't know what you would call this seems too small to be for clothes. I'd use it for craft things such as paper, stamps, shape puncher,etc etc. but it will be there!<br />

<br />
<br />
This yellow pair of side tables went through alot. It's almost been a year since I got them and sadly they haven't sold so I spruced them up again and this time I went with a bolder yellow. unfortunately I didn't take a photo of them when I first got them. They were in pretty bad shape. The veneer was peeling and pieces were gone. The detail on the legs were banged up, and the inside of the drawer was dusty and stained with who knows what! But their<br />
Dramatic make over made them pretty cute! <br />

To fix them, I had to scrape off the veneer from the top , then I sanded the whole top to a smooth, even finish. I also sanded the body with multiple grit of sandpaper. After a good cleaning, I painted them. They're waxed with Johnson's wax paste. It's the first time I tried it and it left a oily feel to it after I rubbed it to a smooth protective finish. But as it cured it went away! <br />

The original after and the newly make over! I can't find a photo of how I recieved them ):<br />

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
The second table I worked on was fairly easy. This piece is not all solid wood, sadly. But its very unique looking and pretty big for being just a side table. The top is particle along with the drawers and the body is solid wood. I roughed up the particle board just alittle so the custom chalk paint I made would bond more easily. Then I cleaned the whole thing with alittle tsp. It made it spotless. I gave this piece about four coats of paint, mostly because I kept missing spots and the legs and had to spread the excess paint around so it wouldn't look clumpy. The finish came outvery smooth and the top is sealed with Briwax clear wax. Oh, and I also lined the drawers detail with a very light grey, just so you can see the <br />
Lines better. <br />

I love how easy it is to paint with, it just glides on... sanding it to get it smooth is a little tricky....if you sand too much, the paint comes off like chalk, very dusty, but if you use a very high grade of sand paper it does not (I used 2500, it's what I like to use as it leaves a very smooth finish, almost like a brand new car paint job). Now, the wax...oh boy the waxing, the clear wax was no issue for me, but the dark waxing...that is a different step I did not enjoy doing, and I only did the top! It seemed as if the wax decided that it did not want to move from the spot I started at....it got clumpy and I had to really work it in to get to spread on the entire top. I don't know why it did that. <br />
<br />
I have used wax on other pieces before, but not Annie Sloan, this was my first time using the dark wax. I still don't know if I should continue with body or not, but I kinda like it with the top waxed only. I also tried using the glazing method, you know, when you mix paint and water, instead of glaze...well...it took the paint off. I guess these are rookie mistakes. But, don't we all learn from them? <br />
<br />
Now, will I use chalk paint again?? yes, I still have a lot left of Duck Egg....will I use dark wax again?.....I am not a quitter, I will tame that beast....<br />
<br />
Well here is the before as a reminder, now this was not a wood piece, that is why I decided to use chalk paint...<br />

I finally finished it, but, again...I forgot to take a photo of the after while I still had it because I was so exited to deliver it to the customer who bought it, even before actually seeing it in person, they had only seen it via photo, well he was kind enough to send me photos. I stripped and re-stain the top dark, per my customer's request, and re-upholstered the chair with her choice of fabric. Both pieces have been waxed to protect the paint, the top of the table has five coats of poly since it will be used as both, vanity desk and writing desk. The color is a custom color, combining white with a few drops of green, very light color. I love this table and the chair, I think they came out great.<br />
<br />
Here is a reminder of the before...<br />
