Wow, I can't believe it's taken me this long to post the final update on my dresser project! Clearly the last few months have been crazy busy for me, and this little blog of mine has been pushed to the back burner. But I'm back! And hopefully I'll have the time to post a little more often. ;)
As you'll recall, over the summer, I was working on a dresser refinishing project. I found a lovely (albeit worn) mid-century modern dresser in the local classifieds, and in my spare time nursed it back to its former glory. Actually, I think it's even better in its new colour scheme! All it needed was a good thorough sanding, a few coats of dark walnut stain and varnish on the drawer fronts, and a creamy white paint on the outer shell. I'm so pleased with the results! This piece now has a proud place in my bedroom, housing my sweaters, socks and unmentionables.
For comparison, here is the before picture:
This was the inspiration for how I was going to refinish it:
And here is my finished dresser, all set up in my bedroom:
I think she looks great! The sanding was hard work, but I loved doing this project, and I'm so proud of the results. I've officially been bit by the refinishing bug. I have many more projects in mind, but I'll share those another day.
