Out of the blue I received a text from Kim asking if I would be interested in purchasing a bedroom set that she had in storage for a while. Once seeing a pic of a tallboy and an end table, I was excited and said I had no issue purchasing the set if the remainder was in good shape. Why excited? This set was a beautiful MCM set with amazing lines. I knew these would be special refinished.
Time passed and I received another text saying the entire set was in the garage and ready for pick up. Once there I was greeted by Kim's husband in his cozy garage where the set was waiting for me. To my delight the set was even more impressive in person. I loved the design, lines and hardware on each piece. Kim's husband and I chatted for a while before I loaded up the truck and made my way home.
After I refinished the tallboy and end tables I started on the long dresser. Once unwrapping it, I was amazed to see 12 drawers. Finding 9 drawer dressers is tough but a 12 drawer dresser is like striking gold!!!!
After sanding the dresser down to the natural grain I painted the body and 6 drawers in 3 coats of Coal Black. I then stained 6 other drawers and the base in Provincial.
Next was the hardware which was scrubbed and refinished in satin bronze.
Homemade food grade beeswax was added for protection on the painted portion of the piece while the stained drawers and base was protected with a matte polycrylic.
I think the end result is amazing. The finishes and colors selected on the dresser really come together to make this piece sophisticated and sleek. If you like the dresser know that I have the matching end tables and tallboy to complete the set.
As seen in the pics, the entire set is from Vic Art which is a highly sought after furniture company in Canada known for manufacturing top quality MCM pieces.
I would like to thank Kim and her husband for reaching out to me and for following me. Interestingly, Kim and I worked together and remember each other from a few years ago. It is always nice to reconnect with good people.😀
All paint use for this set was purchased from Tina at The Barn Door Studio.
