Broyhill Mid Century Modern Highboy Dresser....
Restored this vintage 1967 Broyhill
Mid Century Modern Highboy Dresser.
It's from the Accent line. Rare and hard to
find piece/ I was going to just clean it up.
Before above and below.
But it had more damage than I thought.
A clean up wouldn't have helped at all.
If it was just minor finish issues, yeah a clean up would work.
But chipped veneer and large chips..we had to restore.
So, I decided to do a full restoration on it.
We repaired all the damaged areas.
Missing veneer, bent split top edges.
Worn finish on top.
Stripped after repaired.
Then I stained it in dark walnut.
Painted hardware in gold because I didn't
like the silver original color. Gold just pops
against dark walnut.
Sealed in a semi gloss water based sprayed
sealer.
Purchased new gold screws to match the gold.
Remember the originals where silver.
SOLD!

Mid Century Modern in Luxe...
We found this dresser in very very very used condition.
As you can see below.
Missing hardware pieces. Chipped veneer in
various places.
Formica top was okay.
More chipped veneer.
Sanded down after we sealed in those
chopped veneer pieces.
Sealed in the scratches on the sides.
I painted it in Luxe by
Joanna Gaines Magnolia Chalk Paint.
Its a green with gray undertones so it softens
the green so it's not so bright. Very neutral.
Changed out the hardware with some knobs I loved from
Hobby Lobby that they discounted :/
So I stained the bottom drawers and bottom base
in a dark walnut then sealed in a flat sealer.
This was my initial design I wanted.
Then I asked John to come see it.
He looks at it and says wow!
But how about we change it up some and he
put the bottom drawers in the middle.
I loved it! But I loved the bottom drawer look too!
Then he goes okay how about this...and puts the
stained drawers on the top!!
I was like oh my Gosh!! Please stop!!
I loved that too! I just couldn't decide.
I love all three looks!

Mid Century Modern in Navy...
I had this early mid century modern
dresser in my inventory for some time.
I've been pulling pieces from my inventory
as we're getting overloaded on pieces.
During the past 7 years we've had customer paint orders after
another with no gap. Well, we've gotten a large
build up of our own pieces. Our customer orders have
mostly been their own pieces they want us to paint.
Anyways, here is the before of the dresser I was putting
up for sale this week while still working on my
customer orders.
I removed the bottom piece and added
some mid century legs. I figured it would look much better.
Stripped it down.
Stained the top drawers and legs.
Painted the rest in Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.
Hardware I painted gold.
Stained drawers in dark walnut.
I was actually undecided on color.
I had this one and other in mind.
A customer contacted me and wanted it.
So, it sold before I could list it.
Looks so beautiful! I'm so amazed at what I can
come up with and do sometimes!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL!!!
Mid Century Modern Dresser Refinished in Dark Walnut...
Got this Mid Century Modern dresser in.
I didn't want to paint it.
So, I refinished it.
Before below.
Before.
I sanded it all down and stained it in dark walnut.
Kept hardware in original patina condition.
Sealed in a flat sealer.
It sold before I could list it. A client who has been wanting
a certain mcm dresser put dibs on it.
I'm loving this look.
Matching nightstand is available and in next post.
Mid Century Modern Two Tone Dresser...
New client found us on Craigslist in last month and also
found this dresser on Craigslist. She bought the dresser
and dropped it off with us to paint it.
She's also leaving us 2 more mcm dressers that were hers
and wants us to custom paint those too.
Those will be in a later post (working on them now).
Below is the before of the mcm dresser she found.
She wanted all the dents and scratches filled in
for a smooth clean look.
She also wanted a new wood back as the current one was
beat up and cardboard.
So we stripped it...removed the back cardboard.
Filled in all the dents and scratches.
Then I primed the body and painted it white which
is what she wanted. She wanted a two tone look.
White body with stained drawers.
She wanted the stain in a certain color...
not too red and not too black.
More brown.
We stripped the drawers down and I forgot to
take a picture of them stripped. I was short on time.
I will with the next mcm dresser she wants us to do.
That will be in my next post.
She loved it and we did too!
Mcm Dark Grey Dresser...
We had this fantastic looking mcm dresser
for sometime in our inventory.
A new client came to us and wanted to know
what I would be painting next in my own design
to put out for sale.
I told her this one as it had minimal repair to be done
and I was going to do a dark grey with black gloss knobs.
No distress and a clean look.
She said she wanted it for her new child's
room and that design and color would be perfect.
Here is the before below.
We tightened all the dovetail drawers as they were loose.
Stripped it all.
Filled in all the cosmetic damage. She wanted it all smooth.
I primed it all and painted it a dark grey.
She loved it and so do I : )
Mcm Ivory Dresser......
I couldn't resist when I saw this mcm dresser. I had
a few days in between our custom orders.
I gave in and refinished it.
Here is the before below.
Missing handles and chipped in some areas.
Bubbled veneer.
Formica top.
Dents.
Chips.
We sanded all down.
Also took the formica top off because I wanted
a stained top. So we bought a brand new wood top.
Filled in the old handle holes.
Filled in the dents and dings we could noticeably see.
Filled in chips.
Added metal bottoms as it had none.
Plus I wanted the metal to match the hardware.
Filled in chips.
Filled in the rings where the old hardware was.
Then I primed it all.
Made new holes for the mcm handles I was putting on.
Painted the handles silver.
Painted the body a Ivory from a custom mix
of Benjamin Moore colors I had.
Added some glass knobs to the 3 top drawers.
Stained the new wood top we added to look like
a reclaimed wood.
Added a back splash to the top also. Made it removeable
also. Stained that to match the top.
Currently for sale. I'm totally in love with this piece!
