Refinished Mid Century Modern Dresser....


New follower from Facebook loved a refinished
dresser I did that sold a few months back.
She asked if I had anymore refinished, but I didn't.
Like I tell everyone, we're booked with client orders
moths in advance.  As of now we're booked till March.
I do fit in my own pieces either freshly
painted or stained up for sale when I can squeeze 
any in my spare time.
That being said I showed her this one I had
that wasn't listed because it needed some refinishing.
She loved it and waited very patiently till I could get it 
completed.
Which was a few months.
Before below.


Scratches and worn finish everywhere.


Sanded down, filled in all the scratches and dents.
Made sure all drawers open and close smoothly 
as we do with all our furniture.




After below.


Stained in dark walnut.



All in a even stained finish.  Which like most of the 
pieces I refinish had some lighter patches that 
I had to make looks even. 


Sealed in a semi gloss finish.















Wow, look at that...beautiful!

Old Table Drawer Shelf..


John got this at a garage sale it was badly damaged.
Before below.


One of our family members wanted something 
they could use as a coffee bar.  They asked if we had 
anything.  I sent them this picture above.  Said it would
be perfect for that!  




This was one of those pieces he worked on 
the side while waiting for other custom work
to dry from repair work.
He added a new back splash.
Took off all the damaged veneer from the top.


Repaired the broken leg.


Added a new support for the bottom middle
as it was missing when we got it.


After below.
I stained it in a custom mix stain.
Had to even out the look too as some stained lighter
then other parts.
That is very difficult, sometimes it can be unachievable on my end.
But I try every time, down fall of being a perfectionist...
I'm working on that though!






Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.










Looks beautiful!  It's amazing how many pieces we save.
Perfect coffee bar!

Completely Refinished Mid Century Dresser...



I picked this out at an auction I went to a few 
months ago.  Was a bidding war between John and another 
guy.  We won it though as you can see!
Before below.


Was damaged in some areas.







Sanded everything down, repaired the dents, scratches,
and chips.  


Look at that beautiful grain!
When I picked this out at auction I 
wasn't planning on painting it.  I wanted to 
refinish it.  


Could you imagine covering up that beautiful wood?
Nope I wasn't going to.


Wood pulls where sanded also.


Here it is after I stained it in early american.
I usually do dark walnut stains, but I wanted to try
something different.
So glad I did!





Top coated it in a semi gloss sealer.


Painted hardware gold.








Gold metal tips for legs too.



BEAUTIFUL!!!
