Italian Provincial Dresser In Still Water...
One of my previous customers that purchased a
dresser from me last year, flips houses.
She bought a dresser and painted it herself.
This time she came to me needing
a 80' wide dresser. She was going to use it as
a bathroom vanity also. I had one in my inventory!
Yay!! Here is the before below.
She wanted me to paint it this time.
Sanded it down.
Primed it.
She chose the color by Sherwin Williams
Still Water. In a clean finish.
Hardware she wanted a slight polish with some brass
showing.
She will be adding quartz counter top to it.
Looks amazing!
This is what she did to the other dresser she first purchased form me!
Italian Provincial Chest in Evergreens....
Had this italian provincial style high dresser in my
inventory up as is. Customer wanted it, but painted.
Here is the before below.
Primed and repaired everything.
It was in good condition for as is.
But for painted, we needed to fill in dents.
Make sure the drawers didn’t rub
against each other once painted.
She wanted an olive or dark green color.
I gave her choices in colors and she decided on
Sherwin Williams Evergreens.
I loved that color as soon as I seen it.
So was hoping she’d pick it.
She wanted hardware painted in gold.
She loves it, it will be going in
her newborns nursery ❤️
Light Gray Italian Provincial Dresser...
I scored this italian provincial dresser made by Century
off the internet! Before below.
Had some damage to veneer, plus the legs where loose.
The legs are not screwed in so we had to
really reinforce them. Now there tight and sturdy.
I sanded it down, primed it, and painted it in
Sherwin Williams Dorian Gray.
I had a customers who we used this color
for on for her order a few years ago.
I fell in love with it!
Thank you Brooke 😘
I changed out the top knobs hardware for some
of my favorite I had in my inventory.
The bottom handles I kept original but took off
the floral back ends.
I did a clean finish on this one.
No distressing. This finish is more
time consuming, because of the sanding down.
Then priming, then painting. Which you have to do when
painting with latex. Which I've become a pro
at since this is basically what the majority
of my customers asked for on their orders.
Which has been since 2012.
The finish I do holds up also. I've had customers from 2013
that their pieces still look amazing.
This one came out so beautiful though!
Love it...I mean I know I say that
a lot but just look at it?!
Ha Ha 😄
