Cleaned up Antique Dresser...
One of my followers on Facebook had been
following us for sometime. She had this dresser
(pictured above before) it had chips in paint.
Two of the larger drawers had been damaged has shown
below. She wanted us to repair those.
Plus freshen up the paint job on the rest.
I told her i no longer strip painted
pieces anymore. She was fine with just a light sand not removing the paint.
Here are the drawers we repaired below.
You can't even tell, John did an excellent job.
We sanded it, then I primed it.
Then painted it white.
She loved it, she was more impressed with our paint job than
the repairs 😄
MCM Two Toned White Dresser...
Got this early mid century modern dresser
from a goodwill. I loved the look of it.
I knew exactly how I was going to paint it.
Here is the before below.
Repaired all the loose veneer as these older
mid century pieces have. They layered veneer
over each other so most all of them I have
encountered are all solid wood as is this one.
Early mid century pieces are from the mid to late 40s.
Some early 50s.
This is made by Harmony House.
I painted the shell and right drawers
in a semi gloss white.
Stained the left drawers in dark walnut.
Sealed the stained drawers in a semi gloss sealer.
Then painted the hardware gold.
Beautiful!
Priced at $330
19"d/56"w/32"h

Updated Stanley Dresser Set....
New client contacted us a while back from my blog and
said she was referred to us by one of
our previous clients. She said she loved the table
we did for her friend.
She wanted a dresser/nightstand set custom painted to her liking.
I didn't have anything she liked in my unpainted
available inventory. So, she waited patiently till I got something in
she liked.
I got this one in and she loved it.
Before below.
It was originally the factory creamy color and
the previous owners had put a poly stain over it all.
A reddish stain at that.
We had to strip it, took forever.
She wanted the stained top with white distressed
body, then painted dark bronze hardware.
Paint was done in Benjamin Moore white.
She loves it, I love this look to 😊💖
Updated Vintage Dresser to Modern Style...
New client inherited her late grandmothers dresser
and wanted it updated for her new little bundle of joy.
She will be due very soon and put this order in 3 months ago.
I was booked like we usually are and she waited patiently.
Here is the before below.
She purchased new hardware and wanted the middle
cabinet door off.
She wanted the top stained to match her crib frame
and the body painted a clean no distress white.
We used Benjamin Moore Ultra White.
Amazing what a professional paint job
and some redesigning can do.
She also wanted the old hinge holes sealed in which we did.
Stained top and sealed in a semi gloss water
based sealer.
Everything done in a no brush stroke finish
as always.
Our finish is smooth to the touch and applied
properly.
Here is the handles she picked. We only had one at the time.
Looks amazing!
Here it is in her nursery after we delivered it.
She was "over the moon obsessed with it".
Her words 😍
Updated Old Dresser...
Found this old dresser at a school yard sale.
Remember with the right design you can make
any ugly dresser beautiful. You just have
to have the right color, hardware, and finish.
Here is the before below.
I decided on white and distressed edges.
Added new hardware. Had to seal in those
older hardware holes.
Distressed some not too much.
All done in a smooth no brush stroke chalk painted
finish. Then wax sealed.
These handles make pulling out these
drawers so easy, like butter.
I love it! Just so happy with how it came out!!
Looks totally different.
Redesigned French Dresser....
Painted this french provincial country
dresser in white, distressed edges, and refinished
the top in dark walnut.
I pulled off the old hardware...didn't like it.
Then I added some vintage french handles I had
in my hardware inventory.
Got the cabinet pull new though.
Sealed the top in gf high performance no brush stroke finish.
Smooth no brush stroke finish on body.
Love this knob.
Painted hardware in oil rubbed bronze.
Looks much better with the french hardware.
Sealed in all the old hardware holes with our high quality putty.
We don't use Bondo or wood filler. All that shrinks
with age and eventually comes off or chips off.
Ours doesn't.
Looks beautiful 💓💖

Destroyed French Dresser Made Beautiful Again....
We found this old antique french dresser at a resale
shop back in October of 2016. I loved the look of it
and knew once we got our hands on it the beauty would show,
So, we worked on our custom clients orders and John
repaired it here and there on the side.
Here are some photos below of all the damage.
It was missing a middle handle and knob. I had the
exact ones in my inventory.
One of the middle feet was clipped off and missing.
Missing slides on drawers.
Veneer missing and pulling off throughout the whole piece.
That is solid wood decor on the drawers not plastic.
Middle cabinet door was damaged.
We repaired all the missing veneer & drawer slides, made another foot,
stripped it all down. Then I primed it.
Shaped all the repair nice and smooth with no pit holes.
The dresser had factory paint and another
layer of some oil base paint over it.
Added a new wood back.
Then after priming it, I painted it all white from
Benjamin Moore.
Slight distress on edges. Left some dents in to go
with the look of the older piece.
Painted hardware in a soft iron color.
This is the foot we repaired. Remember it
was completely clipped off and missing.
Paint applied in our smooth flat finish.
Painted the hinges and fencing in the
soft iron color also.
Cabinet door all repaired.
Deep bottom drawers.
It looks so beautiful! Currently available for purchase.

White MCM Dresser.......
Found this beautiful mid century dresser. It had cabinet
knobs on it when we found it. I took them off and
sanded it down.
Primed it and painted it all white with Benjamin Moore
paint. I went with a smooth
flat clean look in all crisp white.
Added these beautiful handles with a rope pull.
Very deep drawers.
I also added these knobs to go with the square straightness
of the dresser,
Our smooth sprayed finish.
Look at all those deep spacious drawers!
I love how this came out.
Mid Century Furniture Shabby Chic White.......
Mid century modern dresser and nightstand was
picked form our inventory by new clients.
They were a referral from a previous client of ours.
They wanted them with a light shabby chic white look.
Here is the before of the mcm dresser below.
Here it is below stripped down.
Below is a picture of it primed.
Then here come the pictures of it painted white
and distressed for a slight shabby chic look.
They wanted the handles lept original.
Love this look.
Next is the mcm nightstand.
Below is the before.
Then stripped pictured below.

Then painted white and distressed lightly.
I aged this handle to match the
dresser handles, because it was silver.
They both look awesome!
French Provincial Bombay White Dresser........
This beautiful french provincial bombay dresser
is made by Thomasville. One of my previous clients
came back to us and picked this out of our inventory.
She loved our work so much before on a french dresser
we had provided and painted for her baby nursery last year.
Here is the before....
She wanted the color in white and a clean look no
distress or glazing. So we stripped it all down...
Then I primed and painted it all white....
She wanted the handles kept original....
Top is really smooth and flawless....
Wow! I just love our work and really appreciate
our clients who love it also.
