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!

The hardware I didn't care for, amazing because
usually the hardware is missing. I just think
this dresser needed updating, so the hardware had to go.

Then new hardware. I picked a beautiful navy color
and used the Behr chalk paint.
I've used this chalk paint before and love it.
Took off all the hardware, it was alot....
12 total.
I had to seal in the old hardware holes, then add the feet
with some reinforcement wood.
Took about 2 hours to put all those new handles on.
Sealed the chalk paint in General Finishes High Performance Flat.
Which is a matte sealer.
Feet went really well with the design of this.
