Old Oak Dresser

Oak Dresser Before

Oak Dresser After Paint

A great estate sale find! We estimated this dresser to be about 80 years old and it showed as it needed more than cosmetic work. The interior was a bit chopped up and the exterior was in rough shape, so we chose to paint instead of refinish this piece. It was absolutely the right choice because the end result was a stunning old dresser with a "new" contemporary look.

We replaced the original wooden handles with modern glass handles, and replaced the missing center skeleton key lock holes with new brass ones. The knobs became the "jewelry" for this stunning piece of now usable piece.

When the wood doesn't look good, paint does the trick!
