Clock Table (Wash)

Restoring furniture and creating unique and challenging finishing effects for furniture is one of my specialities.

The "clock table" project is a great example of this. The face of the table was to look like an antique clock, aged and detailed. The piece was 7 feet wide, and made of expensive, heavy wood. The detail was exacting, requiring precise placement of letters and sizing of the gold leaf. The whole piece was then given three separate color washes to give it just the right "aged" look. The pictures show the progress of the project from start to finish.

Table with Floral Design
This table was given to me by a client who had white washed the unfurnished piece. He had an idea of what he wanted; the colors he had picked out, and he had seen a picture of a striped table with a decorative flower pattern over the top.

Stairway Railing Stripped From Original Yellow (left), then Antiqued (right two photos)

The pictures to the right show a stairway railing I worked on which was originally painted yellow. I stripped the yellow paint and antiqued the railing to give it a much older, more elegant feel.
