A set of dressers

This mid century modern lowboy, belongs to a set. If you remember, I did its companion piece a while back. Just like the other piece, I painted this in Restoration Bronze by Mélange Artisan Mineral Paints and the wood top and drawers were stripped and sanded to the raw wood and sealed. The old details on the top drawers were removed and new up-to-date slats were added for dimension and added interest. New matte black hardware completes the design.

... Read moreThe mid-century modern design exhibits timeless appeal, combining clean lines and functional aesthetics. Restoring vintage furniture, like this lowboy dresser, not only preserves its charm but also allows for personalization to fit modern decor. Starting with high-quality paints, such as Restoration Bronze by Mélange Artisan Mineral Paints, is essential for achieving a professional finish. The technique of stripping and sanding wood ensures the original grain enhances the piece's natural beauty. By adding new slats to the top drawers, the design gains depth and visual interest, making it a talking point in any room. The choice of matte black hardware creates a striking contrast against the painted surfaces. This detail not only serves a functional purpose but also enhances the overall aesthetic. Incorporating elements like updated hardware and well-planned refinishing can turn ordinary furniture into extraordinary statement pieces – perfect for both contemporary and classic settings. As you consider your own furniture transformations, remember the importance of blending old with new to achieve a harmonious look. Whether you're an experienced DIYer or just starting, these tips and insights can guide you towards creating beautiful, functional spaces reflecting your personal style.

These two pictures aren’t picture perfect. Why? We use them daily and having moved in three months ago and having a new baby during that time, it’s not yet perfected. But what I recommend: Felt hangers: they occupy less space, they are not plastic, and clothing doesn’t fall off Fabric Drawer
