Early Mid Century Dresser....


We found this one with the bottom front base board gone.
Also, there was some veneer issues in various places.
Repaired all veneer issues, made sure all drawers
opened and closed correctly.  Repaired the drawers that didn't 
to make then open/close smoothly.
Added a front base board.
Stripped it all down.


Primed and painted in fusion raw silk.



Stained the bottom drawers and bottom base surrounding
the drawers in dark walnut.
I really like how the wood compliments the light ivory color.
Added new modern aged brass hardware.



Sealed everything in a satin sealer.






BEFORE AND AFTER.

Black on Black Campaign Dressers...


Very rare for me to get 2 exact chest of drawers in 
at the same time.  These campaign dressers where in good condition.
But not enough to put up as is.


Stripped and removed the L shape hardware.


Painted everything in a matte black.


Added new modern matte black pulls to the top drawers.
Then painted the original handles in matte black.


Black on black is my favorite.



Top coated in a flat sealer.

Mid Century Modern Green Dresser...


I had so much trouble deciding how to paint this one.
The before was really bad.  




It was really well used.


Stripped it down.  I tried this new paint called 
Melange.  I used the color restoration bronze.
Kept the old hardware and painted it gold.


Stained the top drawers in  dark walnut.



Top coated in a matte sealer.





Looks way better than before!
