One-of-a-Kind Ornate Vintage Dresser in Classic Black & Gold

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.

Dresser Do Over in Fusion's Azure


It is very rare I redo a piece, I think only one in the past. But when this one of a kind "drippy paint" technique dresser sat for so long and was either loved or hated I decided to give it a more "classic" paint job. I totally saw it in a little boys room as a fun dresser, it is the perfect size and made of lovely maple.


For the makeover I went with Fusion Mineral Paint in azure blue. This bright turquoise color looks great with coral, pink or white for a little girls room or navy, grey, yellow or black for a little boys.



Step one remove the new hardware and power sand the dresser. The chalk paint drippy technique gives lots of texture that needed to be tamed. Wiped down it was now ready to paint this pretty color.



Fusion Mineral Paint in azure blue was applied with my Zibra angled sash brush in two coats. To keep a bit of interest and texture, I cross hatched the second coat.


To catch just a bit of texture I hand rubbed Fusion's white liming wax all over. It added just a hint of white (shown above on the top half)


The new hardware; satin cup pulls from D Lawless Hardware and oval knobs I had on hand were put back on and this beauty is ready to go.
