Mid Century Modern Dresser Painted....

I wa so upset when I was posting this and 

realized I forgot to take a before!

It was sitting in my workshop for a couple of weeks 

and I just kept forgetting.

I was working on other pieces and things happen....

Moving on :)

It was just plain old wood before....

So I sanded it all down of course...

then I primed it....painted the body all black

did this wood finish on the drawers...

dovetail drawers...

I just love love love how this came out!

French Basque White Dresser......

I had this one for awhile up for sale.  If none of ya'll know...

I put up my pieces I get in for sale first as is.

I do whatever custom orders I have at that point in time. 

Then I'll pull one form my inventory to custom paint

to put up for sale :)

So, this one I wanted to do for awhile.  

Here is the before....

we sanded and repaired...

sealed up the hole because those handles 

where wide and ugly...

repaired all parts that where chipped off....

I did a technique that I really like on the drawers...

I love all the different colors of wood

and how the stain took it all in it's own colors.....

I really love this technique on the drawers!

kind of like the church pew we did a few years back...

I primed the body of the dresser then painted it a off white....

love our flat finish, not thick at all

and super smooth....

I distressed all the edges on the body of the dresser...

has dividers in the middle left and right drawers...

we built a cover for the hideaway top drawer...

or it can be removed and left like this...

I am really in love with this :)
