#2 Check out the lovely distressed look on this masculine dresser! Learn how to distress your chalk-painted furniture with less effort by CLICKING HERE.
#3 This black paint finish was the perfect choice for this vintage pie safe. It’s one of my most treasured finds. I purchased a storage unit without knowing what I might find, and boy did I hit it big. It was full of vintage and antique furniture. SCORE! CLICK HERE to see the wet distressing method I used to get this primitive look.
#4 is this Art Deco beauty! I knew from the minute I saw it that the black and stain combo would be the theme. CLICK HERE to learn about how I gave this dry bar a whole new look.
#5 And lastly, I have found this “laminate” and wood veneer MCM credenza??? I’m not sure what to call it. It came out of an old office building, and I purchased it on Marketplace, not knowing what I was getting. But I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it tuned out with this black painted wood look combo. To see the BEFORE (which is a sight to see), CLICK HERE.

Did you use a black or other dark wax on the aqua cabinet that is behind you in the video?
Hi Diana,
I didn’t. I used milk paint on that cabinet a long time ago. We recently moved and I have a new studio I’m working from. Unfortunately, I had to leave it behind for the new owner. 🙁
Black never goes out of style. Always love black…so many possibilities. Lo e them all.
Thanks, Leslie! I agree. It will never go out of style in my book. Have a great weekend. 🙂
Well done. Very well done. So much painted furniture is done with a couple coats of chalk paint and that’s it. You not only have a style, you understand it. Love it
Awe, that’s about the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me about my furniture. I do love what I do. Thank you so much. Have a fantastic rest of your week. 🙂 xo
They’re all so beautiful Do!! You are the black-furniture-painting queen! Pinning😊
LOL, you always make me smile. Have a great week my friend. 🙂 xo
Beautiful pieces. It’s fun to take a sightseeing tour back through your creations. My favorites are the art deco dry bar and the stereo cabinet with hairpin legs. You have this gift for seeing what can be. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Hi Joanne! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I like going back and looking. I was like, wow! I’ve been doing this forever. LOL, Have a great week, friend. 🙂 xo
Hi Do!! Happy New Year!! All of these pieces are beautiful!! My favorite is the second one. It has that pottery Barn look. You are amazing!
That one had a great story to go with it as well. That piece was donated to a woman that lost her home in a tornado, and she brought it to me to paint. Isn’t it funny how the stories seem to stick in your head? Every piece has a story. That is one of the reasons I love to paint furniture. 🙂 xo
