White Drexel French Dresser...

I had this french drexel for some time now.

I painted another french drexel same design

different hardware in a light distressed gray.

That's up for sale now.  

A new client contacted me and wanted 

a french dresser in a light gray stained top.

It all worked out because I told her I was 

in the middle of doing this one below in 

a stained top off white body distressed look.

Before picture below.

I was already finished with stripping it to bare wood.

I had been working on this one off and on for about a month now.

She put down a deposit and I had it done in a few days.

Just because it was already ready for me to start on it.

Before she put down the deposit her husband

suggested a white distressed body instead of light gray.

She loved it and decided on that color.

Refinished top in a lighter shade as she requested.

We went with dark walnut.

Done in a smooth semi gloss finish.

Left hardware original.

She loved it and who wouldn't it looks so beautiful!

White Updated Rustic Dresser......

I was working on this piece last month that I 

got for free from a client.  I didn't like the previous hardware, so

I replaced it with new handles.

While I was working on it along with a custom client order

that was being painted the same color (multitasking!)

I received a message from a new follower.

She wanted a previous dresser I had just sold a few hours

before.  She asked if I would be painting anything

in that same style & color...I said yes and showed 

her this one I was working on.

Here is the before below.

Sanded it down.  Then primed it.

I showed her this picture of the handles I was putting on them.

I also showed her the before with the original handles.

She loved the look I was going for all she wanted was the hardware 

painted silver.  

Here it is painted in white using Benjamin Moore paint.

No distress I thought it looked better without it.

I liked the clean look on this particular dresser.

Here it is in her home, she loved it!
