Vintage Mid Century Modern in Navy....
I was planning on restoring this vintage BASSETT
mid century modern dresser. It needed some work.
I'm not one of those sellers that just cleans up
a piece and leaves chipped veneer
then lists it at a high prices.
I would feel so guilty for doing that.
It's getting absolutely ridiculous on some prices we see on
some damaged pieces.
We repair them, which we have learned from our years of doing this.
We work hard and this is why my work is higher than most.
Look at the picture below and above as these are the before.
Chipped veneer. We repair those, along with everything
else we see that needs attention. Yes, it takes time.
Yes, it's not an easy flip. Most vintage pieces are not I've learned
through my 10 years of doing this.
So, after we repair we strip it or sand it.
Stripped below though because I was planning on
restoring with stain.
Repaired veneer. We finished at the end of the day and I was about
to get to the staining the next morning.
But, a customer contacted me that night and
wanted to know if I had any mcm 6 drawer dressers.
I told her about this one I was working on.
Although, she wanted it painted navy.
I primed it the next day.
Then I painted it in latex Benjamin Moore old navy for her.
Sealed in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.
I suggested staining the legs in a dark walnut.
She loved that idea.
I'm so proud of our finishes. It isn't easy, it takes a lot of work.
I am up for the challenge every time. I want to be proud of what we put out.
Looks amazing...
It will be heading to it's new home in a few days!

Navy French Bedroom Set...
Client who was flooded in Harvey picked this french
dresser and nightstand set from our inventory.
She fell in love with our work we had done for her friend
( another client of ours).
These are the before pictures below.
This dresser below had veneer damage which we repaired.
We stripped everything down.
She wanted updated hardware, so we sealed in
those old hardware holes.
We added new wood tops to the nightstands
the before tops where made from some
fake leather.
Painted in a navy clean finish.
Here is the new hardware on the middle dresser
drawers.
New hardware.
Looks very clean and updated. Love the outcome 💖
Next post will be her antique dining set we also
did with this order.
French Provincial Navy Dresser/Nightstands Set....
New client bought the french oversized nightstands
or half dressers from me back in January of this year.
She came back to me in April and wanted me to
add her to my custom order list. She had the matching
french dresser plus the nightstands she wanted in
a navy color. I told her to pick a navy from the
Benjamin Moore line. She was going to pick
New York State Of Mind, but I told her I used that color before
for a client it wasn't a true navy.
I suggested Old navy which I have used also for a client. That is
a true navy blue and beautiful!
She loved it and we went with that color.
Here are the befores of all three pieces below.
She waited patiently and we started on them a few weeks
ago. We stripped them..
Primed them..
Then painted them in Benjamin Moore Old Navy.
Sealed in a high quality wax sealer.
Smooth flat clean finish.
She's going to be adding the hardware later.
It will be in a dark nickel.
Love it so much! Worth all the hard work.
Hollywood Regency Painted Navy Blue.....
This was a furnished and custom painted
order. A client picked this from our inventory
and wanted it to blend in
with her newly decorated living room area.
So we decided on a navy blue,
Then she wanted silver hardware to match her
silver pieces in her living room area also.
Here is the before....
We sanded it down and repaired the front missing veneer...
Primed it and painted it navy blue with multiple coats....
painted the hardware silver and it looks beautiful
with the navy...
that line is from the camera lens....
look at my s-m-o-o-t-h finish....
Wow, we really made this look awesome!!!
All finished and looking so gorgeous!!!!
