Mid Century Modern In Off White...


Scored this off the internet at a huge discount.  
Was in horrible condition as you can see in pictures below.


Wow, that top...woof!


Missing veneer.


Repaired and sanded it down.





But that top had deep stains.
They did not come out.



Sealed in all those holes from those knobs it had.
Which by the way were not original.


I primed then painted some of the dresser in an off white 
called Alabaster.
Then stained the sides and parts of the front
trim in dark walnut.




Sealed everything in a semi gloss sprayed finish.





Added new modern hardware in champagne gold.






Love how gorgeous this came out!


Before/after!

French Bookshelves Updated...


These vintage cabinets had a bookshelf on top
when we purchased it.   These would be perfect nightstands.


They had old contact paper in them as you can see.




We removed the old contact paper.


Painted them in all white.





Painted the inside cabinet area.  
added new dark bronze hinges.



Removed all the decor on them.


Added new modern dark bronze knobs.




They look amazing!

French Dresser turned Modern...


The new style on furniture is modern styles.
Now, this isn't for all but for some.
So, I thought I'd try to do this vintage french 
provincial in a modern style.  I wanted to see how it 
would come out.  If the vision in my head was wrong.


Here are some photos of the before.
I removed all the vintage original french hardware.


I painted it in black with no distress.


Added new modern flat black hardware.
I went through numerous modern handles.
These were my 1st choice too.  Should've stuck
with my 1st choice before I spent money 
on all the others. 


Sealed in a flat matte sealer.





I'm loving the look!  I say my vision was right!!
