Wood Finish Dresser with Black & Copper


Our previous buyers had bought this furnished and custom painted dresser we did,

then they seen these nightstands we had and wanted us to paint them to match the dresser.


 They had this dresser they found and wanted us to paint it to match the above dresser we did...
this one they found was damaged on bottom so we rebuilt it to make it sturdy and last....stripped the drawers,  and sanded down the shell, primed the shell with 2 coats of primer, and painted the shell with 4 coats of black paint.  Then painted the handles copper!


This is the finished piece....



Matching set is so gorgeous!!!

Thanks Veronica and Justine!!!

Antique Dresser Chest Painted Grey & White....

I had this for sale as one of my unfinished pieces and I decided to paint it with my own choice of colors.....it is solid wood throughout.  Very heavy and solid.  The finish on it was so thick.  It took John 2 days to strip it to the bare wood. Must have been 5 layers of lacquer finish on it.  We actually got it like this already, the person looks like they tried to sand it but it was to much.  So we finished it :)  




Primed the drawers with 3 coats of primer and painted 5 coats of off white paint to the drawers.....


polished off the crud from the handles and painted them Gold.....


Even has dividers in the 3rd drawer!


Painted the shell 5 coats of Grey paint....distressed it very little on the edges....


I know I always say this....but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
