This stunning vintage dresser features beautifully ornate, raised detailing that adds elegance and charm to any space. The classic black finish enhances its timeless appeal, while the wood veneer construction offers both beauty and function. Measuring 70"L x 18.75"D x 31"H, it includes nine roomy drawers for ample storage. The original hardware has been refreshed in a modern gold tone but can be changed to black at the buyer’s request. A truly unique piece that combines vintage character with functional design.

I purchased this solid wood bread box from Facebook Marketplace. This is how I got it, dirty and dinged up but using the base color and the rustic feel I refreshed it into a fresh new look.

The first step was to scrub it well inside and out then sand well. To add a fun punch of color to the piece, I painted the inside back wall Fusion Mineral Paint in the gorgeous color, azure.

Removing the knob makes it easier to work on it,

Now to add a more dramatic exterior, I chose Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black to dry brush from side to side. The effect was like a dark denim, perfect.

To seal the milk paint and refresh the sanded dry wood I applied Fusion's hemp oil. The hemp oil was rubbed on all sides including the turquoise background. This oil is so easy to use. Wipe on, let it soak up and after 15 minutes wipe away excess. The next day I applied a second coat.
