Transformation Week Day #3

This antique dresser started off in pretty rough shape.  I usually steer clear of anything that requires too much cosmetically because I'm not a huge fan of copious amounts of sanding and filling.  Regardless of the condition, this was one I couldn't pass up.



Here it is before.


And after.



I also do my best to reuse original hardware.  I find it difficult to recoup the new cost of hardware on most resells if something requires more than a couple pieces.  However, with this dresser, there was no way to make the old hardware fit the vision I had for the end result.  I was fortunate enough to find some blood-orange knobs at Anthro that fit the bill.  I'll take eight please.


The color is BM Sweatshirt Gray followed by the Wiping Stain used here.






This dresser is up in the shop!
