Favorite Combo Custom Painted Antique Dresser

  A valued customer entrusted me with restoring an antique dresser she found online. It was in much rougher shape than advertised when she picked it up, but I believe I transformed it to match her vision. With its classic warm white finish and a darker stained top, it now has the timeless charm she envisioned.

Little Vintage Stool


This sweet little vintage stool sat forlornly on the thrift store shelf


but even thru the layers of paint; a few of them not applied so well with drips and haphazard application. I knew it could really shine again.


The poor legs were wobbly and uneven and seemed to be held in place with a rubbery glue.


I cut the glue off and dug around the edges eventually getting them out. 


The holes were cleaned out well and the legs and seat power sanded on all sides.


The legs were glued with wood glue and once set in correct position I set the solid wood magazine rack I was working on at the same time on top to keep the whole piece drying level.


Now that is was dry I added Fusion ageing wax  to enhance the wood edges revealed with the sanding and add to the aged look.


Isn't it sweet?
