Vintage United Mid Century Modern Dresser Restored...
I could've listed this as is if it didn't have so much
damage and wear.
Before above, it looks good from the pictures.
Top looked like they tried to sand it down but
sanded it wrong. See the scraps going horizontal.
The top back edge needed veneer repair we had to fill that in.
Two of the interior middle drawer bottoms
where thin a brittle.
See the top looked bad.
We repaired everything, added new interior drawer bottoms to
the middle drawers.
Then stripped everything.
Removed the wood handles. Stripped those.
Added a new wood back. The old back was worn.
I stained it all in dark walnut.
Sealed everything in a semi gloss sprayed sealer.
I even stained the back and sealed that also.
I don't usually do this but I it was a new board.

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!

Antique Bookshelf/Dresser......
One of our repeat clients wanted to see if we had
any bookshelves for her sons room.
So I showed her this unique old antique shelf
with drawers that we had. It just needed two shelves.
The before pictures are below.
The bottom veneer was chipped and the foot was completely
chipped half off.
She wanted to keep the look of the wood just freshened up
and repaired on the chipped parts.
So we repaired all the cosmetic major parts.
As you can see here John repaired the foot to
T.
I stained and sealed the whole piece.
Added and painted the new knobs.
Here's the foot that was chipped off...
John did a excellent job.
We cut some shelves and I custom matched it.
She absolutely loved it!
Navy Blue Vanity....
A new client found us online and wanted us to
repair and paint this vanity for her daughter.
Here is the vanity below...
The bottom base was all loose, so we took them all
apart and made it more stable.
Sanded and primed the top as it was formica
and sanded and primed the sides as they were
pressed board.
Sanded everything else...
took it all apart for a smoother flatter finish.
She picked this navy blue color from our previous
orders we did...
she wanted it distressed on edges only...
I found her some knobs as she didn't have any
and I added some gold copper color to the flower decor.
Looks beautiful!!!!!
