Mid Century Modern Emphasis Buffet.....
Broyhill made amazing mid century furniture back in the 70s.
I just love the Broyhill mid century modern in the Emphasis line.
How the whole legs are built in...then sculpted all the way down...
gorgeous!
Most mid century modern have the screwed in base. I mean love those too!
These just have a design to them that has detail but not too much.
Here is the before below. It didn't have the original wood sculpted
handles. Most where broken or totally gone.
We filled in the carved out wood from the original hardware.
Then I painted the drawers black.
Added new modern hardware in aged brass.
Then I added some pop to the cabinet area.
Matte black vine wallpaper with yellow birds.
Cleaned up the wood finish with some dark walnut stain.
Sealed everything in a semi gloss sealer.
SOLD!

Before/After!
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!

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.

Before/After!
Merton Gershun American of Martinsville Chinoiserie Dresser....
This was in my inventory for like 2 years!
One of my repeat customers wanted a unique
Mid Century Modern dresser for her living room.
Plus she wanted it to match her cypress and mesquite
coffee/sofa tables she had.
I was actually going to sell it as is, but the finish was
way to bad. Here is what the front drawers and top looked like below.
So we picked early american stain.
Here is the before below. The finish was that 1940s
bleached finish. So basically it had a taupe like paint
as the first layer then a stain over that.
We sanded it down first.
Looked amazing but then I stained it in an
early american stain and that bleached taupe paint
showed because it was in the wood grain.
This was my WORST piece ever that gave me
so much trouble.
Next, I stripped it with stripper.
I mean everything we stripped.
Here it is after the stripper.
I started feeling better, but could still notice
some taupe in the grain. My customer said
to do what I thought was best she totally trusted me.
I didn't want to paint it, because I've researched it
painted. I didn't like how they looked. They where ugly.
Plus, look at that wood grain why would I want too.
The factory finish actually covered all that up.
I couldn't believe it!
After we stripped it, we sanded it down all down again.
Then I decided to just seal it, not to stain anything.
I sealed it in general finishes high performance
semi gloss.
Left hardware original.
I'm was VERY happy with the look.
I also added new center knobs. The original where missing.
Everything came out amazing!
Look at that top!
That wood grain! WOW!
I also repainted the bottom black. To clean it up.
She loved it! I mean loved it!
I was so glad she trusted me and let me do what was best.
I'm started to see why my customers keep
coming back to me and keep me busy.
Thank you Herminia!

Mid Century Modern Dresser Brought to Life....
Finally got around to doing this post!
I've been really busy with customer orders lately.
I refinished this beautiful mid century modern
dresser in a two tone look.
Before below.
Stripped it all down. Sealed in all the nicks and scratches
I could see.
Look at that raw beautiful wood.
All those patterns of wood!
Stained in dark walnut on body.
Stained the top border of the drawers in
early american.
Polished up the handles to reveal a
beautiful gold.
Sealed in a semi gloss sheen.
Oh my goodness!! This came out so so so
BEAUTIFUL! It sold before I could list.
I actually put it up on my facebook page
in the raw stripped wood and one of my
customers saw it. Then it was gone :)
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!
