Mirror Mirror
Bathroom mirror with silver leaf by Steve.
Mandala
Steve says: "I prepared, primed and base painted these pieces over 10 years ago prior to gold leaf application by others. Looking fantastic!"
New Leaf
Gorgeous mahogany drop-leaf table, finished by Steve.
An Unusual Job
These are pieces of a 3D-printed sculpture of two female basketball players. Steve was asked to paint them.
On The Table
Conference table with quartered walnut top and solid wood base.
Multifaceted
Steve says: "Check out the trick faceted oak faces on this beautiful console."
On the Street
Steve says: "Found on the street, stripped and ebonized, lacquered and waxed. Seats are cow hide."
Soaked in Bleach
Stunning bleached oak trestle table.
Two of a Kind
Steve says: "One of a pair. These beauties are for a long time client, a designer, for his own home."
Restored to Glory
Steve restored this gorgeous antique desk. Check out the leather inset.
Fine Figure
The raw beauty of a long walnut slab, expertly enhanced by Steve. Just look at the figure in this wood!
Cerused Oak, Redux
The cerused oak finish, also known as limed oak, used to involve highly toxic white lead. Steve substituted paste wood filler, rubbing it into the beautiful open grain. It looks just as gorgeous, and is much safer!
There's the Rub
A rub-through lacquer finish gives this charming end table an appealingly distressed look.
Good as Gold
Gold leaf accents enhance the classic elegance of this refinished vanity.
Shimmer
This quilted ash was stunning before Steve got to it. But a bleach and dye job really brought out its silvery shimmer.
Now, That's Just Cool.
These "during" and "after" pictures show the magic and beauty of scorched oak.
The Real Deal
This handsome coffee table might be a Noguchi knock-off, but the gloss black lacquer refinish Steve gave to it is the finest quality.
The Force is Strong with This One
"This one's for Darth," Steve says of this elegantly modern Eames chair.
Mahogany to Ebony
We stripped and ebonized this exquisite mahogany commode. Its bombe style is reminiscent of the 17th century, but the snappy black and silver color scheme would be equally suited to a traditional or contemporary home.
Natural Beauty
With wood this beautiful, it would be a sin to cover it up. We used Rubio oil to let the gorgeous figure in this walnut slab shine through.
