Customer Order..Dorian Gray Italian Provincial Dresser


I started up customer orders on a case to case basis.
I had stopped for 10 months to get some of my 
own pieces out for sale.  Plus, started a new format on how I will be 
taking customer orders now too.

This was her husbands childhood dresser that he had
since he was 5 year sold!
They wanted it in Dorian Gray with a dark stained top.
Before above.  Had some veneer damage on one of the drawers and top 
corner side.


We repaired all the missing chipped veneer.  
Sanded it down.
Stripped the top.


Primed it.


Stained the top in Kona.  
It came out beautiful with all that grain showing.


Painted in Dorian Gray.
She wanted to keep the original hardware.
I think it was an excellent choice too.


Top coated everything in a satin sealer.



Looks amazing! Her husband was so happy with the outcome too!

Mid Century Modern Emphasis Buffet.....


  Broyhill made amazing mid century furniture back in the 70s.  
I just love the Broyhill mid century modern in the Emphasis line. 
 How the whole legs are built in...then sculpted all the way down...
gorgeous!

Most mid century modern have the screwed in base.  I mean love those too! 
These just have a design to them that has detail but not too much.

Here is the before below.  It didn't have the original wood sculpted 
handles.  Most where broken or totally gone.



We filled in the carved out wood from the original hardware.  
Then I painted the drawers black.  
Added new modern hardware in aged brass.
Then I added some pop to the cabinet area.
Matte black vine wallpaper with yellow birds.





Cleaned up the wood finish with some dark walnut stain.
Sealed everything in a semi gloss sealer.



SOLD!
