Mid Century Modern Restoration on Dresser....
This was the matching mid century dresser that
went with the previous highboy dresser and single nightstand we
also restored last week.
Although, both of those sold already.
Anyway, here is the before on this vintage mcm
made by United Furniture.
It had lots of wear on top.
John stripped it all down. We also stripped the wood handles too.
I stained it all in dark walnut.
Sealed in a semi gloss sheen.
SOLD!

Before, stripped, and after.
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.
✨SOLD✨

Then, during, and after.
White/Gray French Provincial Dresser....
A new client found us online by seeing a dresser I had painted
in my own design up for sale. She lived in Taylor, Tx and was
fixing up a old house in the country. She wanted the painted dresser
I had done, plus this one above. She is using both
dressers we painted in her restrooms as vanities.
Here is the french dresser before. Cosmetic damage here and there.
We stripped it down and sanded it smooth, put it up for sale like
shown. Needless to say it was ready for me to paint. I primed it all.
She wanted a gray top and white body, she also wanted
my opinions on colors and hardware colors.
Basically, she was trying to coordinate it with her
tile she bought for the restroom. It had gray, light gray and white.
I suggested nightengale or kendall gray from Benjamin Moore
and out of the can white or simply white from Benjamin Moore.
Then, on the hardware I suggested iron steel color.
She chose kendall gray for top and simply white for bottom.
Then the iron steel hardware color. She also wanted
slight distress on edges.
She absolutely loved it! I did too, very beautiful.
Here's the other dresser she purchased from us.
This one below was painted in my own design.
Navy Blue Dresser...
My past client who is an interior designer, came to us
with this dresser. She was designing a nursery for a client of hers.
She wanted the dresser stripped completely and us to
paint it a navy blue she had picked out that was
a certain color she needed.
Then leave the top unpainted so she could stain it herself.
Here is the before it was a teal color....
we stripped it all down....
smoothed it all out....
I primed it and painted it the navy blue color she wanted....
Looks good, will wait and post pictures later
of the finished room once she completes it.
