Vintage Spain Influenced 9 Drawer Dresser

OK so I've by no means been to Spain, 

but for some reason this dresser reminds me of one thing you may well discover there.

Inform me if I am entirely off base.

Here is the prior to.

The preceding owner had began to paint it black. 

I enjoy black don't get me incorrect. 

But for such a bigger piece black seemed a little...ominous.

Right here she is now.

She's painted in Bon Voyage from Behr and dry brushed in Frost also by Behr.

Inside the drawers is painted with Behr's Iconic Sky.

Hardware is original. 

And I have a query about that.

Do you believe the hardware would look better painted an additional colour?

Right now it's bronze and I like the contrast, but what do you feel?

Amber Stained Antique Dresser

This dresser was the perfect Craigslist score.

Priced just appropriate.

The family members lived just down the street, so I did not get lost on the way there. 

And it had incredible possible. 

The stain on the dresser was general in fairly very good condition, but it had to possible to GLOW.

The primary problems had been water marks, a couple of scratches, and the along the drawers some spots were worn completely through.

Given that most of the dresser was in decent shape I turned to one of my favorite goods.

I Adore this stuff.

Danish Oil is tung or linseed oil mixed with stain so it penetrates, stains, and seals all at the identical time. 

The major purpose I adore Danish Oil is since if it gets on the wood that isn't in require of refinishing, it just conditions it, and doesn't mess with the existing stain. 

It just refreshes it. 

Here are some before photographs of places that had been scratched and rubbed raw.

And here's the after.

Do not the sutbby tiny mid-century legs add just the correct quantity of quirkiness? 

The side panels where in almost best situation when I picked the dresser up and when I saw them I knew I couldn't paint over the beauty that was there. 

To me it type of appears like amber. :)
