CM Restorations

It felt so good to get back to furniture again. I’ve been deep in my laser engraving and décor business, so this project was a welcome change—and honestly, some much-needed paint therapy.

My client brought me a large mahogany entry table and a solid oak side table and asked if I could match them to her Pottery Barn dining table. Three completely different woods, grains, and tones—but that’s the fun (and challenge) of restoration.

Each piece was taken down to bare wood, carefully bleached, paint-washed in Cozy Latte by , and glazed with Van D**e Brown by to build depth and warmth. They were sealed with Wipe-On Poly for durability, and the bases were finished in Tricorn Black by (Emerald Trim Enamel) for a timeless contrast.

Seeing them all together—and perfectly coordinated—was incredibly satisfying. Best of all, my client was thrilled.

Furniture like this deserves a second life. ✨
