Completely Refinished Mid Century Dresser...



I picked this out at an auction I went to a few 
months ago.  Was a bidding war between John and another 
guy.  We won it though as you can see!
Before below.


Was damaged in some areas.







Sanded everything down, repaired the dents, scratches,
and chips.  


Look at that beautiful grain!
When I picked this out at auction I 
wasn't planning on painting it.  I wanted to 
refinish it.  


Could you imagine covering up that beautiful wood?
Nope I wasn't going to.


Wood pulls where sanded also.


Here it is after I stained it in early american.
I usually do dark walnut stains, but I wanted to try
something different.
So glad I did!





Top coated it in a semi gloss sealer.


Painted hardware gold.








Gold metal tips for legs too.



BEAUTIFUL!!!

Mid Century Modern Dresser.......


Our new client who we did the mid century dresser 
in the previous post had this dresser from her childhood.
She wanted the same two tone color as the previous dresser 
we did for her.  White body with refinished drawers.
Before pictured below.


We had to repair one of the legs as pictured you can see 
it's broken apart.  So we had to take the legs and braces off 
of all four legs to reinforce them all.



We sanded it all down.


Sealed in all the cracks, missing veneer, and scratches.
She wanted a smooth look.



Sanded the drawers and removed the wood decor pieces.




Then I primed and painted the body white
and
stained the drawers then sealed them with poly.

















She loved it!
