COFFEE TABLES - WHAT'S YOUR STYLE???

I have many requests daily for coffee tables suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  I thought I would just list all the different styles of coffee tables that I have been refurbished.

What is your favourite style???

BABY BLUE DISPLAY CABINET

I love to refurbish larger pieces of furniture rather than smaller ones.  I was lucky enough to purchase two glass and timber display cabinets but I was sick and tired of doing them white so time to add a splash of colour.

I decided to do my first display cabinet an ash blue colour on the outside and white inside I just loved the colour and after advertising it the cabinet sold in one day.

Now that I have fell in love with this blue colour I was determined the next one would be blue also but with a latte colour inside this turned out amazing.  Without needing to advertise....this one sold instantly.

BARLEY TWIST HALL STAND TO BE REFURBISHED

I was given this lovely barley twist hall stand by a new client of mine who wanted the colour toned down a little.

This hall stand is made of solid jarrah and has about three coats of paint which was all different colours.  The client wanted the hall stand to be white in colour and I recommended bringing the timber and blue colour through the white.  The hooks on the hall stand were a black brass colour so I recommended that they be just black to give it a more rustic twist

This is how it turned out......

REFURBISHING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

Most days I have people come to my home to view my furniture I have refurbished. They style that I do suits a shabby chic, vintage, beachy or french country style home.

Over the years people have become to like second hand furniture rather than go spend thousands in a furniture store.  I love to hand pick all my furniture myself often finding unique and antique pieces which means when I refurbish the furniture my clients get one off pieces that no one else will have.

If you have furniture in your home and you would love to give it a new lease of life to suit your current decor style you can contact me and I can give you a quotation.

QUEEN ANNE TELEPHONE TABLE

I was lucky enough to come across this gorgeous Queen Anne telephone table but it did need a revamp to suit today's decor.

I painted it a vivid white colour and lightly distressed it to go in with the shabby chic look.  The fabric was dated so I went for a modern pin stripe to give it an elegant twist.  This item was listed for sale and sold within four hours for $90

SASSY RED GARDEN BENCH

This bench was in need of a little attention

The timber was weathered, dull and it was quite wobbly but with a little TLC it turned out amazing and sold within 1 day

I forgot to take a before shot so you have to just see the finished product

ANTIQUE REPRODUCTION HALL OR DISPLAY STAND

I came across this gorgeous Antique reproduction hall or display stand and it was the carving detail that encourage me to buy it

It had some minor damage during moving house that's why the owner decided to sell it but I knew with a new look it would be amazing.....so here it is

JUICY LIME BUFFET - OH SO FRESH

I was lucky enough to come across this gorgeous solid timber teak buffet which had heaps of character and lots of drawers but did not look pretty timber.

It was ready in the garage to be white but someone had caught their eye on it so it was sold but they did not want it white.  I was asked to do what I think was best as it would be staged in a florist shop .  This immediately gave me inspiration for the colour. 

Off I went to Bunnings to choose my colour and there it was "JUICY LIME".  I just loved it when I was finished was quite hard to sell it in the end.  Spray painted the handles black to give it a more rustic and industrial look.

I was luck enough to see it in the shop and it looks fab!!!!!

UPDATE

I have been extremely lazy doing my blog page but I have been doing alot of furniture since Christmas.

I have been so busy since the Christmas that I just cannot keep up some days.  I have met some wonderful people who have come to view or buy my furniture and the comments I have received have all been positive so I am doing something right :)

I am getting out approximately 15-18 pieces of furniture a week.  If you are looking for something special please let me know as I sometimes do not advertise items it sells before I finish it sometimes with people passing by.

I would love to see comments on my items I have already listed and also some suggestions colour and style you may like to see me do on my next project.

Stay tuned for new photos of before and after pictures
