First Custom of 2019 ~ Navy Dresser with Hutch turned Change Table

Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

My first custom project of 2019 came in the form of a solid Canadian built dresser with hutch that is going to be used in a nursery as a change table then as a dresser. The nursery is space themed so a deep navy was chosen as the dresser color.

This is the customer photo, I missed setting it up for one once it arrived.

After hardware was removed and the pieces thoroughly cleaned, it was time to paint.

Fusion Mineral Paint in midnight blue was rolled on with their microfiber roller. The smooth maple wood finish was the perfect surface to use this set on.

After first coat dried overnight I rollered a second coat on the next day.

The coverage with the roller and the deep navy paint was perfect.

The original hardware had a broken knob so I replaced it with these fabulous chrome spherical knobs from D Lawless Hardware.

They work perfect in the space themed nursery, right?

To add a deeper richer color as well as a bit more durability to the dresser, I applied Fusion's Hemp Oil Finish with a lint free cloth. After a few minutes it was buffed with a clean lint free cloth.
