Isn't she a beauty!! I'm calling her a French Renaissance Dresser beause she's so ornate, but i have no idea what her true roots are. Found this piece at an estate sale - with the matching mirror for $35.
Here's the piece was originally.
It was in such great shape I only had to glue the missing trim back on - then off to painting. I used Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint - Tricycle Red. Followed that with a Miniwax Dark Walnut stain and finished her off with two coats of Annie Sloan Dark wax.
The construction is amazing, I don't think I've EVER seen a better made piece. It's heavy oak with flawless joints and carvings. Check out the drawers - the top two are divided into 3 segments.
Look at that detail on the bottom - it matches the top of the mirror.
I'm putting her up on Craigslist in the morning - I hope she finds a good home.
Gorgeous! You did a nice job!
