Number 2: Velvet Blue Dresser
I just posted about the Velvet Blue Dresser the other day, and in my post I mentioned how it was one of my all time faves.  It really is!  The blue in real life is just stunning and quite honestly hard to capture on camera.  The finish is just like velvet in both the change of hue in the light and in its softness.  I love it when a piece comes together and this one did!

Number 1!  French Linen and Gold Sideboard
The same client that had me finish her dining room chairs in Antique White also had this beautiful sideboard that required a transformation for her new and more modern home.  We went with classic gray and gold and the outcome was stunning.  It perfectly illustrates how paint can enhance and improve a piece of furniture!

  4. Each of the top ten pieces are exquisite in their on way! You have such a unique style that when I see one of your beautiful pieces I instantly recognize it as yours. I look forward to seeing what you share with us in 2017! Happy New Year!

  6. Anything you do in blue immediately becomes my favorite. Your 2017 sounds like an exciting time on the horizon.
    Wishing you lots of luck with planning your travels and lots of luck with finding ugly ducklings at the thrift stores to turn into beautiful swans. Happy New Year!

  7. Happy New Year, Suzanne! It was great fun following this series and a testament to your talent. I always admire the way you “play” with paint techniques and finishes and share them with us in your videos. I can’t pick a favorite from your list of top makeovers because each one is gorgeous in its own right. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2017!

    • Thank you SO much, Marie and a very Happy New Year to you and your family too! I can’t wait to see what amazing projects you have in store for us!

  8. Happy New Year Suzanne 🙂 I love these two pieces <3 You do such beautiful work! I've enjoyed reading your blog and am looking forward to seeing what 2017 has in store.

  9. Both pieces are stunningly gorgeous! I wish you lived closer so I could have you work on some of my pieces that need a good painting! Keep up your lovely work!!
