~ Pink Antique Dresser ~

It's been a while since I've posted anything. The heat makes it hard to spend a lot of time in the garage, even with a swamp cooler. But, I managed to finish this cute little antique dresser, probably from the 1940's. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on the decade. I listed it last night and already have someone coming today to hopefully bring it home to their daughter.

The top was stripped and stained in dark walnut. Then I repaired and filled missing and lifting veneer.The color is 50/50 white and Valspar Delicate Pink Rose. After distressing and antiquing she got a topcoat and should be enjoyed for years to come!

I love the jewelry box on the top.

I'll be back to share another makeover soon! Furniture Feature Fridays

Lori @ Projects Plenty said...: That dresser is gorgeous. The jewelry box top and the french country legs in front are lovely. You did a fantastic job with the finish. I really like the detailing on the middle of the piece, too... is that distressing of existing raised architecture or did you stencil and distress the design? Great job!; June 30, 2011 at 9:12 PM

Jenny said...: It's beautiful and my theory is that every girl (or woman that still feels like a girl) needs to have one piece of pink furniture in their home.
