Custom paint job, an incredible before and after

 The finish on this armoire gets a lot of attention~

everyone seems to love the look.

I often get custom painted furniture requests to 

replicate this look on a customers piece.

An entire bedroom set and a hope chest 

were custom painted with this look.

 The look is soft and elegant and on trend right now~

 This is the latest piece I was asked to transform~

another Lane hope chest that at one time

sported a custom paint job in pink and green.  

Now it was time for an elegant look.   Furniture can 

be remade with the swipe of a paint brush, and the 

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is marvelous for doing 

quick and easy transformations~

either by you or by me!  Ready for the after?                                                                                    

 French Linen and a drybrush and ragged coating of a 

lighter shade of French Linen mixed with Old White Chalk Paint.  

An outline of Kings Gold Gilding wax finished the piece.

Goodbye to the cute pinks and greens~

Hello to the quiet elegant new look!

Consider having an old family piece custom painted

by a paint stockist near you~or come in to Maison Decor and

I will give you an estimate to bringing back your piece to life.

 Another custom painted furniture order is this bentwood rocker, 

formally in maple wood, now in a shabby weathered two tone finish

 using a two color distress technique~

one that I teach in my basic introductory class. 

 The seat shows Country Grey peaking through the

 Old White~almost strie in effect.

And it is soft as a baby's behind with the waxed and buffed finish.

I have to show this pic I took of these

 two cuties that came to the shop today!

Aren't they adorable?

Colin loved these little guys~!

Colin is helping me this week with a large order of custom mora clocks~

we are shipping three out next week.

Two in Louis Blue and one in a custom version of Chateau Grey.

Its nice to have his helping hand and I 

was thrilled he had a few days off

to help out in the store.

This unique custom painted mora was done in 

Annie Sloan Primer Red Chalk Paint~

with gilded accents.

So when customizing your pieces only 

your imagination is the limit!
