This table is truly a black beauty! Painted in Coal Black by Fusion Mineral Paint Co. and lightly distressed to highlight all of its beautiful details.
The stunning detail is on the front and back of the table, making it a perfect piece for an open space.
Here you can see one of the four floral medallions and the gorgeous beaded detail.
This solid wood beauty measures 22″W x 17″D x 29″H

OMG! We can’t tell you how excited we were when we found this dresser. We found it on Facebook Marketplace and snatched it up. Then, unfortunately, the seller got back with us to let us know his wife decided to keep it and refinish it herself. We were bummed but totally understood. Fortunately, he kept our information and contacted us when his wife decided she just didn’t have the time for a project. Yay!!! We ran out right away and picked it up before she could change her mind again! Haha!
You know how we usually forget to take a before picture in all the excitement. Luckily we saved the picture from the Facebook posting. Just look at those handles!
Amanda and I were out restocking some of our supplies last weekend. When we came across Lichen by Fusion Mineral Paint. We both thought it was a beautiful neutral color.
When it came time to paint the dresser we decided Lichen would pair perfectly with the newly stained top.
Isn’t it gorgeous?!
We were thrilled we were able to preserve the top. The wood was so beautiful. We stained it with General Finishes Antique Oak water-based stain and sealed it with white wax.
We love the way the white wax settles into all the nooks and crannies.
We lined the solid wood drawers with this beautiful coordinating fabric we found at Hobby Lobby. Here you can also check out the subtle distressing on those beautiful handles.
Here you can see the way the top drawer sits out a little further than the rest of the dresser. Such beautiful attention to detail in these old pieces.

We love this piece so much. It was in fairly good condition, needing minimal repairs. We really love that! An added plus was all of the original hardware was still intact!
Since it is commonly referred to as a “Bachelor” chest we decided to paint it black keeping with the masculine theme.
Painted in our favorite black milk paint, Typewriter by Miss Mustard Seed and sealed with hemp oil for a beautiful finish.
Not only is this piece attractive but it offers a lot of storage.
No drawer liners were needed for these beautiful wood drawers!

We almost passed up this table. It was missing some of its beautiful moldings and just seemed like it would be more work than it was worth. Then we discovered the cool little drawer on the side. How unique! Upon further inspection, we realized even though some of the moldings were missing, there were duplicates we could mold and cast. We’ve never done this before but have always wanted to try our hand at it. So now this table with the cool little drawer became a challenge we just couldn’t pass up.
We really couldn’t be more pleased with the end result! Painted in General Finishes Lamp Black Milk Paint and wet sanded to give a beautiful time-worn finish.
We were able to make a mold of the existing molding using a hot glue gun. First, we sprayed the molding with Pam cooking spray so the glue would not stick. Then, we liberally covered the molding with the hot glue, pressing firmly when cool enough to touch. Once it was completely cooled we were able to peel the glue away. The hot glue created the perfect mold capturing all of the details. We then filled the mold with paper clay by Iron Orchids Design.
We immediately applied the new moldings onto the table using wood glue. Once the clay had completely dried we painted as usual.
And that cool little drawer…
Isn’t it the coolest?!
The drawer runs the length of the table providing a lot of storage.
We are definitely calling this experiment a success!
If you follow us regularly, you know we are a sucker for chairs! On one of our recent outings we were able to pick up a few chairs and a couple of great little stools. They just make such great accent pieces. We picked two for a quick weekend makeover.
We actually remembered to take before photos! Well, kind of before. These have been cleaned and sanded and ready for paint! It still counts, right?
These two seemed like a perfect candidate for our favorite black milk paint, Miss Mustard Seed’s Typewriter!
We just got a little chippy on the chair legs, you just never know. We could have used something to resist the paint and force it to chip but we like to just let it happen naturally. We love the surprise at the end!
Everything was sanded super smooth, distressed and sealed with hemp oil. Seriously, the finish is like butter!
These both will be available at Brothers Antiques North soon. You can watch for updates on our Facebook page 😊
We can’t even begin to tell you how excited we get when we find an all wood child-size table and chair set! We literally get giddy with delight. They just seem so dang hard to find these days.
We figured this little set would be the perfect addition to your Holiday gatherings.
The kiddos won’t mind eating at the kid’s table this year.
Painted in our signature ”Swiss Coffee” and sealed with Tough Coat by Fusion Mineral Paints for a durable yet safe finish.
We lightly distressed the edges for that “Farmhouse” look and to help disguise any distressing that might be done by the little ones. That’s just added patina!
We’ll be delivering to Brothers Antiques North this weekend!
We are so excited about this piece! We picked this piece up over the weekend and have been working on it nonstop since. Mandy and I had bought a couple of different colors of Fusion Mineral Paints a few months ago. We had never used it before and kept hearing wonderful things about it. So, of course, we wanted to give it a try.
We used the first color, Picket Fence, right away. Maybe you remember this beautiful dresser.

The second color we forgot all about, until now. Looking through our paint stash we came across it. Putty by Fusion seemed like the perfect color for this piece. A beautiful neutral that would pair well with this dresser’s classic details.
Isn’t it gorgeous?! This is a must-see color, not too gray, not too tan. We updated the hardware with these beautiful glass knobs with antique brass stems. We just wanted to dress this piece up a bit.
Here you get a better look at the knob detail. We also lined all 4 drawers with this coordinating fabric.
We call it a dresser but it would look great in a dining room or entry hall, along the back side of a sofa. You get the idea!
We will definitely be using Fusion Paint again. It gives such a smooth flawless finish. It also has a built-in top coat, making it very durable. Yay!
Measures 43″W x 22″D x 33″H
We will be delivering to Brothers Antiques North on Saturday, October 5.

We love these sweet little drop leaf tables. They remind us of grandma’s kitchen and what felt like a sweeter simpler time.
In today’s world, they make a sweet little addition to just about any space. They make great little sofa tables!
Once open they offer great additional dining and/ or work space.
Painted in our favorite diy chalk paint using Behr Swiss Coffee, lightly distressed and sealed with Tough Coat by Fusion Mineral Paint for a durable finish.

We finished this desk in General Finishes Lamp Black.
We decided to spray this piece with all of its nooks and crannies. In our opinion, nothing sprays better than General Finishes Milk Paint. It’s such a flawless finish.
We finished by hand rubbing with hemp oil and steel wool for a super smooth finish.
We updated the hardware and added fabric drawer liners.
