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!!

Italian Provincial Updated in Black Bamboo..

I had purchased this dresser with a matching chest 

of drawers.  I was going to work on it eventually.

A customer wanted to come view a 

restored mcm dresser I had done for her nursery.

She seen this one and wanted to know what my 

plans where for it.  I told her my design and she

wanted first dibs on it before I list.

Before above.

I removed the plastic decor pieces on the top drawers.

Sanded it all down because the original finish was chipping 

and worn.

Sealed in all the holes from the plastic decor 

and older hardware holes.

I had purchased new modern updated hardware for this one.

Added the new hardware holes.

I painted it in my new favorite color called

Black Bamboo.  It looks darker in this picture.

It's more of a softer army green color.  I love it!

Sealed in a sprayed flat sealer.

New antique bronze modern hardware.

Her and her husband loved it!  So it was purchased, couldn't list it!

Outdated Vintage Buffet Made Modern...

I had found this vintage buffet a while back.

Was waiting to work on it once I finished all 

my customer orders.  Now, that I started limiting customers orders

I can start doing my project pieces.

I love doing my own pieces so much!

This buffet I didn’t like the plastic fronts.

Didn’t like the hardware.

Didn’t like the bottom skirt.

I first removed the skirt trim.  Still didn’t like it.

So I removed the plastic front decor.

Then cut the wood fronts and sides on bottom.

After cutting it, I wanted some added layer 

to the bottom.  So we added more wood

trim just to the bottom underneath it.

We added some wood legs to each side.

Filled in all the holes from the plastic decor.

Also filled in the older handle holes.

I purchased new antique bronze modern hardware.

Removed the back because it had a hole in it.

Added a new back.

All prepped and I was loving it!  

It was coming out just like I had envisioned.  

Primed it gray, then painted it in

Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray.

Added the new modern hardware.

I painted everything, all the inside cabinets areas.

Love it!  So happy with the look!!
