Customer Order White French dresser...


Seen this vintage 1980s french dresser made by Dixie
at a thrift store, but didn't get it.
Customer calls me a week later and asked if I had
any french 6 drawer or 9 drawer dressers with 
a max 70"w/21"d.
I was like yeah but I didn't get it!
So, I went back and thank you God it was still there.


Before above and below.


Sent her a picture and she took it.


Cleaned the hardware because she wanted them painted black.


Stripped the wood parts.


Sanded the sides and top formica.
Repaired a metal slide because it was missing.



Primed and then painted in Benjamin Moore white.
Painted hardware in a flat black.




She wanted a white clean finish.

French Cream Distressed Aged Dresser...


John went to work on this french dresser before I could get 
a before photo.  He has his own workshop away from me.
While he was repairing a custom order piece he started on 
this one without letting me know.
It was damaged on the top missing veneer,
chips and scratches everywhere.  Pulled off back and put a 
new one on it because it was damaged.  Drawers where rough
going in and out so he repaired that, they open and close
perfect now.  Plus missing hardware.
I had some in my inventory though.

Painted hardware in dark bronze and added 
these pulls I had in my inventory below.



Painted the dresser in cream with distressed edges.


This is a hard to find antique french dresser.
Once you get this particular style/look you don't let them go.


Added a new wood backboard.


Smooth chalk painted finish.





Came out absolutely gorgeous!
Matches the french nightstands I have up for sale too!


Paid attention to detail as you can see in photos.



Stained the top in a custom mix.


Sealed the top in a flat sealer.



Priced at: $575
21"d/58"w/35"h
Cash only, message if interested.
Delivery available to 1st floor only for 
an additional fee of $20.
