Queen Anne Magic

We have been working hard (per usual), chipping our way through our storeroom of goodies as well as commissions for customers. The new financial year will be a good one for us I hope, with some exciting new opportunities on the horizon. We love change... so long its for the better!

Speaking of change, what do you think of this beauty! We had our work cut out to minimise all the dings and dents, but the effort was worth it don't you think.

Although I'm not a fan of the polished wooden handles, on this set they were in excellent condition so the customer chose to keep them. They make a lovely contrast to the soft almost creamy look of it.

Poison Apple & Black Magic

Mid century mahogany dresser with three drawers on wooden runners. Tapered legs with saucer feet. This has bee refurbished in Voodoo Molly Black Magic & Voodoo Molly Poison Apple, with a clearcoat for protection. The black is shabby and aged, the green is plain. Modern style stainless steel handles.

Not-Plan drawers

We did this for a commission. It is actually a 3 drawer unit, but we modified it to look like plan drawers. Very cool!

Its painted in Voodoo Molly Blood Red and Voodoo Molly Fairy Cream.

Deconstructed Drawers

Despite this dresser having 2 out of 3 drawers missing we STILL could see its potential! It was made from a lovely solid wood that just seemed sacrilege to throw out.

So we didn't.

Instead with deconstructed it, trimmed the sides down, dropped the top..... and wha-lah a chest!

Retro Drawers

We have recently finalised our 2013 paint colour range and we're EXCITED!

We had lots of arguments fun trying to narrow it down to 18 colours....and then coming up with the funky names. My favourite colour this week is Eternal Flame (next week it'll be something else no doubt) and my favourite name is Enchant Mint.

We hope you all agree that the colour selection is great...we picked a range including romantics, retro, brights and neutrals.

You can read the descriptions of our new range here.

Using a very popular colour "Sea Monster" we have just completed this retro set of drawers. I apologise the photo isn't very clear but I took it with my phone because I've lost the download cable for my camera. Typical.

The Bone Shaker

We finished this great set of scotch drawers the other day by handpainting a vintage image of a victorian gentleman riding a "Bone Shaker" bicycle. Thanks graphics fairy for your great copy-right free images. :)

This project proved that even a plain unpainted set of mdf drawers can be transformed into something very unexpected! We used VMV "Grey Ghost" toned down with a little "White Crystal" as our paint colour.

Two of us completed this project. One did the man and the other the bicycle.. After it was transferred onto the drawers with pencil it was painted on by hand.

Sorry, this set is not for sale but commission requests are welcome.

Commission Price Example: These drawers are 103cm H x 91cm W with a graphic covering about 3/4 of the front costing $295 total. This is made up of $170 to paint the dresser* and $125 to paint the image.

*This price uses one of my four free colours "White Crystal", "Pink Potion", "Voodoo Bloo" or "Black Magic". You can select from the rest of my 18 colour chart range for an additional $15-$23. Alternatively you can choose any colour from the RESENE colour range for an additional per-tin cost.

Turquoise Dresser

Some pieces I love and some I really really LOVE.

This is one of them.

Yeah I know I know, you often hear people say "the photo's don't do it justice" and you think "yeah, right". But seriously, the photos don't do it justice...no really, they don't!

This stunning queen anne dresser has that wow factor which is much better in person. I think the multiple layers gives it depth and interest than the plain painted ones just lack. Those ones are boring. This one is, like, interesting!

This unit was painted in two colours from the Voodoo Molly Vintage Colour Range. The drawers are "Sea Monster"; the base colour of the outside unit was first painted in the same "Sea Monster", then coated in a layer of "White Crystal" before a "Black Magic" glaze added.

Laminate Wood Scotch Dresser

Flat pack furniture is cheap and convenient we all agree on that. But it is also made of crappy laminated wood that doesn't normally stand the test of time unless you are very careful with it. 

Several years ago.... BEFORE I started working on furniture I brought a complete flat-pack bedroom set consisting of 2 sets of drawers, bedside tables, bookcase and headboard. Today we only have the scotch dresser left the other pieces got worn, or water damages or broken. I would never buy this sort of furniture again because it really isn't going to last very long at all generally. 

But the good news is the dresser was still in excellent condition so I decided last week to give it a quick lick of paint, a slight distressing and changed the wooden knobs with brass ones. Hey presto, it looks great now!!

This unit measured 900mm wide, 400 deep and 1050 high. For me to paint, distress and clear coat this for you via commission it will cost $300 (including in-house white paint).
