French Dresser turned Modern...

The new style on furniture is modern styles.

Now, this isn't for all but for some.

So, I thought I'd try to do this vintage french 

provincial in a modern style.  I wanted to see how it 

would come out.  If the vision in my head was wrong.

Here are some photos of the before.

I removed all the vintage original french hardware.

I painted it in black with no distress.

Added new modern flat black hardware.

I went through numerous modern handles.

These were my 1st choice too.  Should've stuck

with my 1st choice before I spent money 

on all the others. 

Sealed in a flat matte sealer.

I'm loving the look!  I say my vision was right!!

I forgot to take a before on this one.  We stripped and repaired it.

closing them.  That took awhile.

down the drawers.

Stained the drawers and legs in dark walnut.

Sealed everything in a flat sprayed sealer.

Love this!
