Farmhouse Grass Basket

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.

Updating a grass basket is easy with a bit of paint.

I loved the thick "cords" in this large basket and the fun wood handles but it was dirty and blah looking. Time for a good scrub and let dry.

I had a few projects ready to do all in Dixie Belle Paint in drop cloth; a pretty warm white.

An antique solid wood tray, a wood photo serving tray and the basket along with this black tray that is being milk painted grey.

Here is the first coat of drop cloth going on the pieces. I was using this lovely color on a solid wood dining table just the day before.

And the basket inside showing how I just dry brushed the warm white over all sides to brighten it. I then dry brushed a bright white milk paint over the warm white for some highlights and added dimension then sealed the entire basket with a clear wax.
