Black on Black Campaign Dressers...


Very rare for me to get 2 exact chest of drawers in 
at the same time.  These campaign dressers where in good condition.
But not enough to put up as is.


Stripped and removed the L shape hardware.


Painted everything in a matte black.


Added new modern matte black pulls to the top drawers.
Then painted the original handles in matte black.


Black on black is my favorite.



Top coated in a flat sealer.

Mid Century Modern Green Dresser...


I had so much trouble deciding how to paint this one.
The before was really bad.  




It was really well used.


Stripped it down.  I tried this new paint called 
Melange.  I used the color restoration bronze.
Kept the old hardware and painted it gold.


Stained the top drawers in  dark walnut.



Top coated in a matte sealer.





Looks way better than before!


Before/After.

Mid Century Modern in Green....


This mid century dresser had the most damage to the bottom.
The bottom board brace was gone as pictured.


The veneer and boards on legs came apart.


Side veneer damage.


Top veneer damage.


More splits on legs.


They tried taping it together to hold.


We stripped it all and repaired everything pictured above.


Sealed in the old hardware holes.


I painted it in fusion bayberry.


Added new modern brushed gold hardware.








Top coated in a flat water based sprayed sealer.




So so beautiful!!

Before and after.

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!
