Number 4:  Antique White and Gold Dining Room Chairs (Click HERE for Full Post)

I met a client who had just downsized to a lovely, modern condo.  She wanted to change her furniture to fit into her new space.  We began with her dining room chairs.  They were gorgeous but very dark and a little dated for her new home.  She wanted to lighten them up but maintain their elegance.  We decided on antique white with gold accents.  It was the perfect solution!
If you would like to see a few video tutorials on the dining room chair’s transformation (how to add the wash and how to apply the topcoat), they are all on my YouTube channel (CLICK HERE). Here is the video on how I added Cire a Dorer Gold Gilding wax:

Number 3: Lily’s Armoire (Click HERE for Full Post)
Lily’s mother contacted me to transform a very old armoire for her daughter’s room.  The armoire was full of old charm but needed serious work to get it into shape.  Gray paint with both clear and dark wax worked magic.  It turned a very cottage armoire into one that resembles an old piece in France.  One of my faves!
