White Drexel French Dresser...
I had this french drexel for some time now.
I painted another french drexel same design
different hardware in a light distressed gray.
That's up for sale now.
A new client contacted me and wanted
a french dresser in a light gray stained top.
It all worked out because I told her I was
in the middle of doing this one below in
a stained top off white body distressed look.
Before picture below.
I was already finished with stripping it to bare wood.
I had been working on this one off and on for about a month now.
She put down a deposit and I had it done in a few days.
Just because it was already ready for me to start on it.
Before she put down the deposit her husband
suggested a white distressed body instead of light gray.
She loved it and decided on that color.
Refinished top in a lighter shade as she requested.
We went with dark walnut.
Done in a smooth semi gloss finish.
Left hardware original.
She loved it and who wouldn't it looks so beautiful!
White Updated Rustic Dresser......
I was working on this piece last month that I
got for free from a client. I didn't like the previous hardware, so
I replaced it with new handles.
While I was working on it along with a custom client order
that was being painted the same color (multitasking!)
I received a message from a new follower.
She wanted a previous dresser I had just sold a few hours
before. She asked if I would be painting anything
in that same style & color...I said yes and showed
her this one I was working on.
Here is the before below.
Sanded it down. Then primed it.
I showed her this picture of the handles I was putting on them.
I also showed her the before with the original handles.
She loved the look I was going for all she wanted was the hardware
painted silver.
Here it is painted in white using Benjamin Moore paint.
No distress I thought it looked better without it.
I liked the clean look on this particular dresser.
Here it is in her home, she loved it!
