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.

Antique Desk in Dark Green....


We found this desk at a thrift store already stripped.
It looked like they stripped it and left it unsealed for 
a long time.  The top have veneer lift and it wasn't stripped
completely in edges and in the hard to reach places.

We repaired the lifted veneer and finished stripping it.
Which is the picture below.  I was going to leave it like that 
but it had stains on top that wouldn't come out.


I painted it in black bamboo which is a dark green with 
gray undertones.  A gorgeous color I use a lot.



Distressed edges lightly.



Added new hardware purchased years ago 
at hobby lobby.




Spray sealed in a flat finish. 




I love love love how good this came out!

Before and 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!
