MCM Two Toned White Dresser...


Got this early mid century modern dresser
from a goodwill.  I loved the look of it.  
I knew exactly how I was going to paint it.
Here is the before below.


Repaired all the loose veneer as these older 
mid century pieces have.  They layered veneer
over each other so most all of them I have 
encountered are all solid wood as is this one.
Early mid century pieces are from the mid to late 40s.
Some early 50s.
This is made by Harmony House.
I painted the shell and right drawers 
in a semi gloss white.


Stained the left drawers in dark walnut.


Sealed the stained drawers in a semi gloss sealer.
Then painted the hardware gold.






Beautiful!






Priced at $330

Delivery available for an additional $20.

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!
