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!

Vintage Italian Provincial Dresser in Queenstown Gray....


I was eventually going to work on this
vintage Italian provincial with mid century modern
straight lines.  It was in the back of my inventory though.
So I couldn't get to it till I got to the one in the front.
I was going to do it a dark gray or navy.  
One of my followers contacted me asking if I had 
a particular piece in a certain look.  I sent her a picture of this one.
She put down her deposit and I pulled it out.
Here is the before below.


It had some major wear on top.



We stripped it down.  
Sealed in the major scratches and dents.


I primed it.



I gave her some colors to choose from and she chose
General Finishes Queenstown Gray.




Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.




We cleaned up the hardware to reveal a 
beautiful brass gold.




It came out very beautiful!
