I often blog about the larger furniture pieces I refinish, but I haven't updated with any photos or blurbs on the many smaller pieces that I've done. Sometimes writing up a blog post simply takes too long relative to the time spent on a smaller project, so I figured I'd stretch my time by corralling some of my smaller pieces into the same post!
These are a mix of custom-order pieces as well as pieces that I did up on my own for re-sale or as gifts for family/friends. As you can see, I love variety and I enjoy tackling a smattering of different styles from shabby-chic to farmhouse/cottage style, to industrial and rustic. I have a soft spot for old things, but making them new again is what really makes me tick. Enjoy!

1) An antique side table that was badly damaged in its structure and finish ( it could barely stand up on its own legs):
After: pretty in navy and walnut stain!
2) An old pine trunk that had seen better days...no before pic (it was brown, dirty, chipping and boring!)
After: a pretty shabby-chic trunk ready for use again!
My daughter, lording over her mama's trunk!
3) Two standard cable spools full of stickers, dirt, and permanent marker! And for a future post....my planked out floors which replace those awful white peel-and-stick tiles! *scroll down for a sneak peak!
After: two very pretty industrial-chic side tables! (Only one pictured).
4) A worn-down antique table passed down from grandma to grandson, that didn't fit in with the couple's decor...* check out the new kitchen floor! in these pics!
After: Now pretty and shabby-chic in a gorgeous soft linen colour!
5) A hand-built rustic coffee table from scrap lumber! (No before picture: visualize a pile of wood!)
After: a very rustic coffee table perfect for the porch or living room! Here it is on my porch - and yes, that orange tile will go one day... :)
6) A hand-built console table made from barnboard and reclaimed wood! Again - no before photo...
7) And last, but not least: a worn down table with good bones, but a damaged finish:
After: A very bright and restored, yet still shabby-chic table which highlights the wood inlays! (Apologies for the blurry photo)
