Early 1950s Mid century Modern Dresser in Two Tone...

Found this at a thrift store, it was missing some nipple knobs, 

the bottom front trim, and the drawers didn't open/close correctly.

We stripped it down to the raw wood.

Repaired all the missing veneer, fixed the issues on the drawers 

so they can open/close correctly, and added a trim to the 

bottom front.

Painted the drawers in fusion goddess ashwagandha.

Its a white with gray undertones, so a very light greige color.

Stained the body in american walnut.

Top coated everything in a flat sealer.

Painted the original handles in matte black.

Added new modern matte black knobs.

Bottom drawers are very deep.

Painted the black metal slats in matte black.

I'm loving this!

Before/After.

 

French Short Buffet in Clean Black....

I believe this had a hutch but, when we found it that was gone.

Had average damage from not

being taken good care of.  It could've been worst thought...

I've had worst.

Repaired all the cosmetic damage.

Sanded the outside down.

Painted it in fusion coal black.

No distress I wanted a clean look.

Kept hardware in original condition with its 

original patina.

Hardware is beautiful!

Kept the inside original.

Original felt ling in top drawer.

Looks so beautiful!

Chinoiserie Dresser in Gray.

This is the second one I have got my hands on.

I did another years ago.  This had a lot of repairs.

Drawers had chipped edges, didn't close correctly, 

and then it had the primer with paint to make it look stained.

We stripped it down after the repairs.

Sealed in the old hardware holes and made new ones

for the new hardware.

I added new modern hardware in aged brass.

Painted it in general finishes queenstown gray.

Stained the bottom base.

Top coated everything in a satin sealer.

Beautiful!

French Nightstands In Raw Wood.

We had these nightstands for a few years

and I've been wanting to do a raw look on them.

Stripped them down, painted the hardware in 

a flat black.

Removed the wire netting on cabinet doors 

and added wood boards.

This particular vintage set had that primer

with paint on them to make it look like a stain.

So we had to remove both to get to the raw wood.

So original and beautiful.

I have a matching dresser I need to do also.
