Mid Century Dresser

I forgot to take a before photo of this.  I don't know why but,

it completely slipped my mind.  I thought I did, so you can 

imagine how frustrated I was when I didn't find it in my photo roll.

Anyway, this is vintage form the late 1970s in a mid century

style.  We repaired all the missing chipped veneer.

Which was mostly on the bottom edges.  more so on the right edges than left. 

Stripped everything down.

Here is where you can see the filling in on veneer.  

We had to add a ton of filler.  But we built it back up to 

make the side even.

Painted the body a light gray and stained the wood 

slats in cappuccino. 

Sealed everything in a matte finish.

I so wish I had taken a before!  Oh well either way it looks

so much better!

Before /After.

Beautiful French Dresser...

I've had this beautiful french dresser in my inventory

(along with a whole lot more dressers).  Since I've decided to move 

my customer orders to summer only...I'm 

starting to get to the inventory I've had.

Finally going to start putting out pieces in my own design

for sale.

This particular one is made by Drexel in the Riviera 

style.  Here is the before below.

Had to fix 3 drawers because they where hard to open 

and close.  I always always make sure my pieces

go out in excellent working condition.

I didn't like that wave pattern on it at all.

So, I removed it.

It was nailed and glued on but came off somewhat

easy..ha ha!

Filled in the major scratches, not all because I wanted this 

to be a farmhouse shabby chic look.  I mean it's old

and vintage so might as well show it huh?

I had to prime it because it's cherry wood so bleed through!

Then I painted it in Joanna Gaines Magnolia

chalk paint color Shiplap.

It's a weathered white.

I don't make my chalk paint I just buy it.  I don't really

care how expensive it is, if the quality is good I'm good.

I find making it leaves a rough grainy finish.

I love smooth finishes.

Distressed edges and left hardware in original condition.

I price my pieces I paint by my experience I have

and my work which is really

good.  Plus the time I put into some of these, repairs, design,

materials, (paint is expensive), plus the age and style of the 

piece.

Details are amazing!

Looks so much better without those wave patterns.
