Black Serpentine Dresser Aged...

FIRST BLOG POST OF 2020!!
It's amazing that this year 2020 will mark 10 years for 
PIECE OF CANDY FURNITURE!!
Thank you to EVERYONE who has purchased and referred us!!
  THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!


This dresser above I had for some time. 
 Not THAT long but,about a few months.
We have been repairing it on the side since we
got it.  It had missing veneer on bottom parts.  
Drawers where hard to open on a few drawers.
But, loved that all original hardware was still there.
Here is the after below.


We had to remove the old wood covering underneath it was damaged.
Added new wood.

Also added a new wood backboard, the old one was 
in really bad shape too.


I painted it in General Finishes lamp black.


Slightly distressed in edges.  Very minimal.  
I didn't want too much just some.


Painted hardware a flat black.


Stained top in a dark stain.




Sealed everything in a flat sprayed sealer.






Has 12 drawers total.  Smallest on top and get larger
going to the bottom.





This has been sold ❤️
20"d/72"w/33.5"h


Before and After!  Looks amazing! 
I didn't want a bright color because of 
all the curves.  I wanted to tone it down some
on the look.   I knew black with slight distress would do it.
Had to stain that top dark to make the look!

Vintage Updated China Cabinet without the Hutch...


I loved how unique and gorgeous this buffet was.
It was a china cabinet but didn't like the hutch.
The hutch sat inside of it.  Before above.  I was going to keep the 
original hardware , but when I was taking them off one broke.
I decided to replace the hardware with the ones shown below.


Added a plank top.


Painted it in Joanna Gaines Magnolia
chalk paint in Regal Leaf.  A beautiful forest green.
All in a clean finish.  I didn't think any distressing would 
compliment this piece at all.



Stained the plank in a custom mix of driftwood and provincial.


I wanted a lighter more natural tone without too much yellow.


We added 6 new wood feet to give it more height.
It was 27" high from the beginning.  Now it's 32"high.
Also, extremely sturdy.



painted the inside cabinet also.  


Didn't paint the side cabinet areas.


Sealed everything in a flat sprayed sealer.

Black Vintage Dresser Redesigned....


Redesigned this very solid well made 
Henredon dresser.

Was missing a few bails from the hardware.
I didn’t like it anyway.


Painted it black then distressed edges.
Minimal distress though not too much.


Added feet, these feet where $10 each.







Added new black hardware which where $6.48 each.
Had to reposition the hardware as the new ones 
where longer.  Plus I wanted the hardware 
centered.

Updated Vintage Dresser......


I was going to paint this vintage bassett dresser 
in a shabby chic look and use the original hardware.
Well, changed my mind while painting it.
Before below.



I painted it in Magnolia chalk paint Ella Rose.
I love this soft pink color.
The older hardware I wasn't feeling once I painted it.
So, I went to the hardware store and purchased new ones.
Was trying to not spend too much on the hardware either.
But, I liked it so $4.98 a piece for 12...what can you do?
I purchased them, I had too.  



Champagne gold hardware is beautiful!
Love the modern look it gives too!


Clean no distressed look.
