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!!

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.

 

Mid Century Modern Restored Dresser...

I've had this since last year in my workshop.

We worked on it here and there.

The original finish was cracked and the wood base was cracked too.

John had to reinforce the base to repair it.  

Now it's solid for another 70 years maybe even longer.

John stripped it all down.

But, I completely forgot to take photos of it stripped

until I had the front already stained!

So I grabbed my phone and snapped pictures of what I 

hadn't started on yet.

I stained it in american walnut, such a beautiful color!

Painted the original hardware gold.

All that beautiful grain!!

My daughter almost kept this one too!

I'm loving this color of stain too!!

Did I say that already...!!

Sealed in a sprayed flat sealer.
