Vintage Updated China Cabinet without the Hutch...
I loved how unique and gorgeous this buffet was.
It was a china cabinet but didn't like the hutch.
The hutch sat inside of it. Before above. I was going to keep the
original hardware , but when I was taking them off one broke.
I decided to replace the hardware with the ones shown below.
Added a plank top.
Painted it in Joanna Gaines Magnolia
chalk paint in Regal Leaf. A beautiful forest green.
All in a clean finish. I didn't think any distressing would
compliment this piece at all.
Stained the plank in a custom mix of driftwood and provincial.
I wanted a lighter more natural tone without too much yellow.
We added 6 new wood feet to give it more height.
It was 27" high from the beginning. Now it's 32"high.
Also, extremely sturdy.
painted the inside cabinet also.
Didn't paint the side cabinet areas.
Sealed everything in a flat sprayed sealer.

I was going to paint this vintage bassett dresser
in a shabby chic look and use the original hardware.
Well, changed my mind while painting it.

Merton Gershun American of Martinsville Chinoiserie Dresser....
This was in my inventory for like 2 years!
One of my repeat customers wanted a unique
Mid Century Modern dresser for her living room.
Plus she wanted it to match her cypress and mesquite
coffee/sofa tables she had.
I was actually going to sell it as is, but the finish was
way to bad. Here is what the front drawers and top looked like below.
So we picked early american stain.
Here is the before below. The finish was that 1940s
bleached finish. So basically it had a taupe like paint
as the first layer then a stain over that.
We sanded it down first.
Looked amazing but then I stained it in an
early american stain and that bleached taupe paint
showed because it was in the wood grain.
This was my WORST piece ever that gave me
so much trouble.
Next, I stripped it with stripper.
I mean everything we stripped.
Here it is after the stripper.
I started feeling better, but could still notice
some taupe in the grain. My customer said
to do what I thought was best she totally trusted me.
I didn't want to paint it, because I've researched it
painted. I didn't like how they looked. They where ugly.
Plus, look at that wood grain why would I want too.
The factory finish actually covered all that up.
I couldn't believe it!
After we stripped it, we sanded it down all down again.
Then I decided to just seal it, not to stain anything.
I sealed it in general finishes high performance
semi gloss.
Left hardware original.
I'm was VERY happy with the look.
I also added new center knobs. The original where missing.
Everything came out amazing!
Look at that top!
That wood grain! WOW!
I also repainted the bottom black. To clean it up.
She loved it! I mean loved it!
I was so glad she trusted me and let me do what was best.
I'm started to see why my customers keep
coming back to me and keep me busy.
Thank you Herminia!

Updated Vintage Dresser in Navy...
Totally vintage dresser probably from the 80s.
The hardware I didn't care for, amazing because
usually the hardware is missing. I just think
this dresser needed updating, so the hardware had to go.
Here is the before below.
Top was very worn. Here is what I used to update it.
I wanted to add some feet to lift it.
Then new hardware. I picked a beautiful navy color
and used the Behr chalk paint.
I've used this chalk paint before and love it.
Took off all the hardware, it was alot....
12 total.
I had to seal in the old hardware holes, then add the feet
with some reinforcement wood.
Took about 2 hours to put all those new handles on.
Sealed the chalk paint in General Finishes High Performance Flat.
Which is a matte sealer.
Feet went really well with the design of this.
This dresser is 100% solid wood, not pressed wood too.
Heavy thick wood too.
