Customer Order White French dresser...

Seen this vintage 1980s french dresser made by Dixie

at a thrift store, but didn't get it.

Customer calls me a week later and asked if I had

any french 6 drawer or 9 drawer dressers with 

a max 70"w/21"d.

I was like yeah but I didn't get it!

So, I went back and thank you God it was still there.

Before above and below.

Sent her a picture and she took it.

Cleaned the hardware because she wanted them painted black.

Stripped the wood parts.

Sanded the sides and top formica.

Repaired a metal slide because it was missing.

Primed and then painted in Benjamin Moore white.

Painted hardware in a flat black.

She wanted a white clean finish.

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!!

Stripped Raw Wood French Provincial Dresser....

I’m really into this raw wood finish.  

Had this old antique french dresser for 

some time in my for sale as is inventory.

Before below.

First, I was going to paint it.  Then I thought about it..

and decided I can paint tons of pieces.

Only certain pieces look good in the raw look.

So we stripped it all down, every nook and cranny.

Look at all those patterns.

Painted the beautiful french handles 

in a matte black.

Sealed everything in a matte sprayed sealer.

Available, message if interested.

White Drexel French Dresser...

I had this french drexel for some time now.

I painted another french drexel same design

different hardware in a light distressed gray.

That's up for sale now.  

A new client contacted me and wanted 

a french dresser in a light gray stained top.

It all worked out because I told her I was 

in the middle of doing this one below in 

a stained top off white body distressed look.

Before picture below.

I was already finished with stripping it to bare wood.

I had been working on this one off and on for about a month now.

She put down a deposit and I had it done in a few days.

Just because it was already ready for me to start on it.

Before she put down the deposit her husband

suggested a white distressed body instead of light gray.

She loved it and decided on that color.

Refinished top in a lighter shade as she requested.

We went with dark walnut.

Done in a smooth semi gloss finish.

Left hardware original.

She loved it and who wouldn't it looks so beautiful!
