Italian Provincial In Dorian Gray....
Had this Italian Provincial highboy for 3 years. The dresser I sold as is.
This one had missing hardware. So, I couldn't list it as is.
I finally have time to get to my project pieces now that I've
discontinued my customer orders. Yay!!
Before above and below.
Stripped it down and sealed in the old hardware holes.
We made new holes for the new hardware.
After I primed it, I painted it in Dorian Gray.
I purchased new modern hardware in aged bronze.
I had to get smaller hardware for the top
4 drawers and larger for the bottom 2 drawers.
Coin shelf is removable.
SOLD!

Love the new modern updated look!
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!

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).

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.

For this buffet I had to search for.
Found it but needed lots of repair. Veneer bubbles galore.
She was a fighter all the way thru.
Client wanted a white matte finish.
Here it is after all the repairs, stripping, and priming.
She picked the beautiful simply white by Benjamin Moore.
Sealed in a flat water based sealer.
She loved it which makes us very happy to hear 😍
Mcm Chest Of drawers Two Tone....
Repeat client wanted her mid century chest of drawers painted
in a two tone color, She is the same client with the last mcm pieces in a two tone
finish in the previous posts.
Here is the before below ...
She wanted us to seal in the previous hardware holes
and make new ones centered, two singles on each drawer.
Plus seal in all the knicks and scratches.
We painted the body a dark gray and the drawers
a true white.
Looks awesome!
Italian Mid Century......
Our repeat client that has been coming to us for years
wanted this beautiful baker italian mcm dresser we had.
Here is the before below.
We stripped it down.
John does a fantastic job stripping it down to the bare wood.
I primed it.
She designs her place so beautifully and wanted this
piece in a certain look.
She chose Dorian Grey from sherwin williams
that I color matched with benjamin moore.
Then she wanted it lighten by 70%.
Below is the color painted on it already.
Smooth flat finish.
We had to get new backplates for the hardware as one
was missing. We both loved the look of the hardware after.
I painted the hardware a beautiful gold she chose.
Beautiful!
