BIG BLACK DRESSER

Here it is as we bought it scratched and abused and needing some love.
a lot of the hardware was nailed in place and was carefully removed for painting.
broken pulls that were bondoed and then received a single center metal knob
look at the top drawers below to see finished repair.
This dresser had a lot of ornate hardware to paint.
metal hardware
Here is the finished dresser and it can only be described as masculine. I really love the look of gloss black hardware on satin black paint, it's a classic look.

ANOTHER PEACOCK BLUE CHEST





We are still playing around with this hue o'blue. This chest was painted and distressed and then glazed with English chestnut Minwax stain. The top of this chest was badly scratched, but we where able to sand out all the problems back to bare wood. We then stained it with English chest stain and finished it with Minwax clear satin polyurethane. We sold this quickly and will probably do another one.
