Modern Heirloom: MCM Black & Natural Wood 6-Drawer Dresser

This stunning Mid-Century Modern dresser is a masterful blend of timeless design and contemporary refinement. Finished in a classic satin black, the body provides the perfect contrast to six elegantly curved, linear drawers, each showcasing a rich natural wood stain that highlights the beauty of the grain. At 50" L x 19" D x 32" H, this statement piece offers generous storage while making a bold, sophisticated impact in any room. A modern heirloom, reimagined for today’s interiors.

So after my epic fail on the "chippy" table (see lessons learned here) I chose to redo it in a safe, stick to anything paint, Fusion Mineral paint . I went with raw silk again as I am just loving the crisp but not stark white tones of it.

For ease for distressing the edges, I rubbed the Fusion beeswax bar along them all before painting. I repeated another layer after I easily wiped the edges after the first coat and used a sanding sponge to distress the edges again after coat #2.

Once all dry, I tried Fusion's black wax to age one of the legs but my youngest daughter voted to keep it the crisp clean white distressed look. A quick wipe with mineral spirits removed my aged art work easily and it was back to fresh paint.

Seeing it will be used lots as a table or desk on the top I gave it a coat of Fusion's wipe on tough coat and walaa this baby was finished.. for good this time ;)
