Light Gray Italian Provincial Dresser...


I scored this italian provincial dresser made by Century
off the internet!  Before below.


Had some damage to veneer, plus the legs where loose.
The legs are not screwed in so we had to 
really reinforce them.  Now there tight and sturdy.


I sanded it down, primed it, and painted it in 
Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray.
I had a customers who we used this color 
for on for her order a few years ago.
I fell in love with it!
Thank you Brooke 😘


I changed out the top knobs hardware for some 
of my favorite I had in my inventory.






The bottom handles I kept original but took off
the floral back ends.  





I did a clean finish on this one.
No distressing.  This finish is more
time consuming, because of the sanding down.
Then priming, then painting.  Which you have to do when 
painting with latex.  Which I've become a pro
at since this is basically what the majority
of my customers asked for on their orders.
Which has been since 2012.


The finish I do holds up also.  I've had customers from 2013
that their pieces still look amazing.




This one came out so beautiful though!  
Love it...I mean I know I say that
a lot but just look at it?!
Ha Ha 😄

Mid Century Modern In Pale Pink.....


I was initially going to refinish this mcm dresser, but
I decided to do a two tone look instead.
It has a formica top that I had to repair so I couldn't stain it.
Had to repair some chips it had.
Before above.
After below.  


I painted the body in Joanna Gaines Magnolia
chalk paint color is Ella Rose.
A pale neutral pink with accents of peach.   
Sealed body in a wax finish.




I stripped the drawers and refinished them in dark walnut.






Sealed the drawers in a semi gloss sealer.




Also refinished the legs in dark walnut 
and 
sealed in a semi gloss.

Restored Mid Century Modern Dresser....



I had this for sometime in my inventory, but then
I used it in my sons room for about 4 years.
He has moved on to another piece, so I might as well 
refinish it!  I have many mcm dressers in 
my inventory, adding this one would be ridiculous.
I mean if I don't get to it now, when will I?
The before is above and below.



I couldn't put it up for sale as is looking like this.



To many scratches, missing veneer in some areas.


Has wood handles.



Wood flat square pull on top drawers.


Stripped it all down.




Striped everything but the back part of the top drawers.
I loved that pattern and wasn't sure I could copy that.



Here it is below after I stained it in dark walnut.




Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.
