Restored Mid Century Modern Highboy Dresser...


This mid century modern we found needed some work.
I also didn't like the original hardware.


We repaired the chips and stripped it all down.
That raw wood looks so beautiful.




I stained it in dark walnut.




Added new modern pulls in a matte gold.



Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.



The inner drawers had some old stain spots in them.
Not all drawers just some.  Tried to sand them off but didn't 
come off.  Contact paper could be applied but that's up to the buyer.
It would be at an additional cost.



The 4th drawer handle is the pull out from under the drawer.
It was meant to not have hardware in the original design.



The brass tips on front legs I painted in matte
gold to match the new hardware.

Updated Antique Buffet...


This is a customers piece.  She wanted her antique buffet
painted white.  
She also wanted the decor in the middle removed.
John came up with the idea to flip it.


She also wanted repairs on the chipping veneer on each
side of the buffet.


We repaired the sides along with other areas we 
seen that needed attention.  
Tighten the top of the buffet because it was loose.



Sanded it all down, then primed it.
Painted in Benjamin Moore White.



Polished the tear drop pulls.


Sealed in a semi gloss sealer.


She didn’t want the inside painted.




Looks amazing!

United Mid Century Modern Dresser...


Got this vintage very wide mid century modern 
dresser in a month ago.  It had damage on top.  
I knew it was going to be trouble getting it out.
It was.  But it looks better than it did when we stripped the top.
Before above.
After below.


I matched the stain almost exact.  Which I thought was 
going to be the hardest part.  Turned out it was the easiest! 
Fully restored the top.  Cleaned up the rest.


Then sealed everything in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.


Made by United.  This brand is by far the best vintage 
brand I noticed.  The quality is amazing.
Everything is solid wood.  They usually make longer
dressers too.  This one is one of the longer ones.
At 74” wide.


Wood handles on cabinet doors and middle drawers.



The middle drawers are wide with smaller drawers 
on the ends behind the gorgeous cabinet doors.


The top grain is so beautiful.  The spot is still on the top.
But it’s not as bad as it was.  It kinda goes with all 
the natural wood patterns.



Has a very unique curved front design.  



Sits on a wood frame with slayed out legs.




Awesome curved sides with thick long hinge
for the cabinet doors.
