Mcm Ivory Dresser......

I couldn't resist when I saw this mcm dresser.  I had 

a few days in between our custom orders.  

I gave in and refinished it.

Here is the before below.

Missing handles and chipped in some areas.

Bubbled veneer.

Formica top.

Dents.

Chips.

We sanded all down.

Also took the formica top off because I wanted

a stained top.  So we bought a brand new wood top.

Filled in the old handle holes.

Filled in the dents and dings we could noticeably see.

Filled in chips.

Added metal bottoms as it had none.

Plus I wanted the metal to match the hardware. 

Filled in chips.

Filled in the rings where the old hardware was.

Then I primed it all.

Made new holes for the mcm handles I was putting on.

Painted the handles silver.

Painted the body a Ivory from a custom mix

of Benjamin Moore colors I had.

Added some glass knobs to the 3 top drawers.

Stained the new wood top we added to look like

a reclaimed wood.

Added a back splash to the top also.  Made it removeable

also.  Stained that to match the top.

Currently for sale.  I'm totally in love with this piece!

Refinished Ivory Painted Dresser & Mirror...

One of our previous clients wanted us to 

custom paint this dresser plus some other items.

They will be in the next few posts.  She had a total of 4 items 

she wanted us to refinish for her.

This post is for a dresser she will be putting

in her baby's nursery.

Here is the before....

we stripped it all down, she wanted a refinished 

top and mirror in a chocolate stain.

Then the bottom in a custom ivory  that matched

the baby crib.... 

here it is primed...

then I painted it the ivory color.....

she wanted the hardware kept original...

next I stained the top...

she didn't want any distressing...

added a poly to seal the top...

 stained the mirror and sealed that with a poly....

She loved it!!!!
