Rustic, Hammered Side Tables

This past month I decided to try my hand at the hammered look. I found this picture online and it was my inspiration (please note the console pictured directly below is not for sale). I love how the stain is darker in some places and lighter in others.



Not only did I decide to try the hammered look (not on the tabletops), but I also tried my hand at staining Mexican Pine. I am not sure how Mexican Pine normally stains but I noticed that my two pieces picked up stained in different ways. The tables definitely did not turn out like the console table above; however, I think they look really cool. They seem to look lighter/darker depending on the lighting. I think they have a lot of character and would make a wonderful addition to a house/cabin with a more rustic style. I looked online to see how much the side tables usually cost and they are about $170/table. You can view them HERE. The tables measure 24"x24"x20" (l,w,h). They will only be sold as a set.

Only $150. (SOLD)

Brown Chest of Drawers - Privately Sold

This chest of drawers has been painted a deep espresso and the old knobs have been replaced with new faux bone knobs to add personality. My client will be using this precious piece as a bedside table in her guest room. The knobs are so unique and I love how it turned out!

Not for sale.

Tall, White Chest of Drawers

Check out this tall, white chest of drawers. It has been painted white and the knobs have been updated with a satin nickel finish. This piece gives you fabulous storage while taking up minimal floor space. This chest of drawers is a heavy piece and very ornate. It would make a beautiful addition to any bedroom.
This piece measures 36x19.5x51.5 (l,d,h) and has five drawers.

Only $175. (SOLD)

Black Bedroom Set - Not For Sale

I just finished this black bedroom set for a client's daughter. My client had planned on doing this herself and had been talked into purchasing oil-based paint for the project. The project quickly turned into something larger than she wanted to pursue, and that's where I stepped in. This was my first time using oil-based paint and I think it turned out beautifully. That being said, I hope I never use oil-based paint again! It is hard having the patience to wait 24-hrs between coats.
If any of you have any pieces you need refinished or projects that you cannot complete then please feel free to contact me and we can get it done!

Not For Sale.






I will be working on two dressers (one long, one tall), a three piece wall unit, and two side tables over the next month. I still have the Distressed White Dining Room Set and the Rustic Carved Buffet/Dresser available for sale. Thank you for visiting B's Refurnishings!

Distressed, Carved Buffet/Dresser

I just completed this rustic carved wood dresser. It has been painted a rich, deep brown that has been distressed to show an aged golden color underneath. As you'll see from the pictures, this piece has beautifully carved wood on each of the nine drawers and on the sides. It's a little hard to see in the following pictures, but the original knobs are SO cool. It is a very heavy piece that would be a beautiful Spanish style buffet or dresser. The dresser measures 76"x19"x29" (l,d,h).

Only $250. (SOLD)

Black Secretary Dresser

I re-did this secretary dresser for myself over a month ago. I thought I had the perfect space in my entryway; however, I have decided it is actually too big for my space. This dresser has been painted black, and all the pulls have been updated from shiny brass to lovely antique brass. I also added an antique brass drop knob on the drop down shelf. This piece is very versatile and could be used for anything from a dining room server to a laptop desk in a smaller space. The secretary dresser measures 34.5"x17"x40" (l,d,h). The drop down shelf measures 32" deep.

Only $225. (SOLD)





Please note that the Distressed White Dining Room Set posted last week is now for sale.

Distressed White Dining Room Set

I was thrilled to find this beautiful Henredon dining room set months ago. The set contains four chairs and the oval table has three extra leaves. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this project and it has turned out better than I ever expected! I painted this set a beautiful cream and distressed it. The seat cushions have been reupholstered with a modern print and beautiful accent piping. This dining room set is made by one of the finest furniture companies in America and will be a perfect addition to your home.
The table (without the leaves) measures 56"x45.5"x29.5" (l,w,h) and each leaf is 16"w.

Only $500. (SOLD)







I will be working on an authentic Mexican carved wood dresser/buffet over the next few weeks. Make sure to check back because this is definitely a unique piece and you won't want to miss out!

Black Distressed Bookshelf

I just finished this charming bookshelf. It has been painted black and distressed to show some red tones and the natural wood. It has also been protected for everyday use. This shelf would be perfect for books or for electronics under a wall mounted flat screen TV.
The bookshelf measures: 46"x11.5"x37" (l,d,h)

Only $110. (SOLD)

Black Antique Washstand Dresser

This dresser required a major overhaul. It was a beautiful antique washstand dresser covered in bird's eye maple veneer that had severe damage to the top surface's veneer. I decided to remove the destroyed layer of veneer and replace it with a more affordable wood when I found out that a sheet of maple veneer was $350! I painted the dresser a classy black and added amber glass knobs with brass accents to match the antique skeleton key holes. I love this piece! It would look great in any room in the house.
The dresser measures: 40"x22"x27" (l,d,h).

Only $200. (SOLD)

Best Bet Carpet Systems

I know this has nothing to do with furniture; however, I wanted to recommend Best Bet Carpet Systems in the Salt Lake City area. I had Joe stop by a few weeks ago to clean our traffic areas and he did such a wonderful job. Not only did my carpet look brand new, but he managed to get my paint stains out of the carpet! That's right - I had stepped in black paint back in May (working on a dresser) and thought it would never come out. Joe explained to me that I should never use store-bought carpet cleaner and that I should use his pH balanced carpet cleaner (I had wrecked our carpet with the store bought stuff). I sort of thought he was just trying to sell me something and dismissed his comments but a few days later I found that he had dropped off a new bottle of cleaner on my front porch. You should really give this guy a call if you need to have a problem spot removed. He is extremely friendly and does amazing work.

Black Distressed Dresser - Not For Sale

I visited my husband's family this weekend and his mother asked me to redo a dresser for her. This dresser had been painted at least three different times and was also used as my husband's baby changing table years ago. I loved getting the chance to work on such a special piece. His mom wanted a black dresser distressed with a hint of clay showing through. She also chose the absolute perfect knobs to go with her two color choices. Time did not allow for us to put a protective layer on it, but they will be doing that next week. Once the protection is applied, the areas that were distressed regain the satin finish of the surrounding unaltered areas. We had a wonderful time working on this piece and we think it turned out great!

~Not for sale.

Secretary Dresser - Not For Sale

I have completely redone this dated 70's secretary dresser and turned it into a classy piece for a client. This dresser has been painted black and all the pulls have been replaced from shiny brass to lovely antique brass. I also added an antique brass drop knob on the drop down shelf. This will definitely make a beautiful and functional addition to my clients' entryway!







Wow! It has been almost two months since my last post. The holiday season was busy for personal reasons, but I am back from a trip overseas and have a few things I will be working on over the next month. I am almost finished with an antique washstand dresser and it is looking great! I will be working on a unique bookshelf and a dining room set over the next month. I am sure it gets frustrating to see furniture that is not for sale, but I want you to see examples of my work that isn't put up for sale. Also, if you have anything that you would like redone then please feel free to email me. Happy New Year!

Black Dining Room Set - Not For Sale

I recently finished this dining room for a very eager client [myself]. This was definitely one of my most challenging projects but I think it turned out amazing! I was thrilled to discover that this piece was sold somewhere between 1916-1940. As I was removing the re-upholstery, I found beautiful black leather seat cushions in perfect condition. Let me just say the client was very pleased! :o)

Not for sale.





The holiday season will definitely be light at B's Refurnishings; however, I will be working on finishing a dresser/desk and possibly another dining room set before the end of the year. I also have the Roll Top Desk and the German Rocking/Glider Horse available. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy Thanksgiving!

Contemporary Dresser

Here is a sleek contemporary style dresser that I have painted in a beautiful "smoky pitch". It has clean lines and new brushed nickel knobs and long brushed nickel handles. This dresser is made of solid wood and has a total of six drawers.
This piece measures 51.5"x19.5"x32.5" (l,d,h).
**A few people have inquired about this piece thinking that it was brown. This piece is actually a beautiful, smoky blue/gray. If you click on the pictures it will be easier to see the true color.

Only $175. (SOLD)

Work Table - Commissioned

The same person who requested the antique writing desk in teal also asked that I create a work table to match. I found this unique, vintage kitchen table that was the exact size she requested. We both fell in love with the shape and the funky metal legs. I added the amber knob to match the antique writing desk. I think it turned out great!
