This antique dresser had great bones but no personality...
Once I got down to the raw wood, I loved the graining and color that I found. I decided to keep the sanded parts of the dresser raw, as they say. Just finished it with clear wax...
The body of the dresser was painted in Oyster White Milk Paint, then distressed to give it the personality that I was looking for....
Now the freebie...I had one of my 'spotters' call me to tell me about this beauty sitting on the side of the road...thank you!!! This antique oak sideboard is missing it's lower doors but that doesn't matter. Those big 'holes' are going to be perfect with some baskets. The entire piece will get painted a shade of white and the mirror, pitted and all, will go back in. I can't wait to see how she comes out!!
(sorry, not the best quality pictures, taken inside my garage)
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI just love this antique sideboard Kris, and I agree it will look great with the right baskets in those holes.
