And a dresser to match l Tulsa, Ok Furniture Refinishing

Recently I met Miss C. when I made a bookshelf like this for her little boy’s room.

He was making the transition from a baby room to a big boy room and she asked me to help her find a dresser that would complement the room. I was happy to help since furniture hunting has become one of my favorite pastimes. After looking around and not finding exactly what I was looking for, I suddenly remembered this little guy….

Perfect!!

I came across him a little while back and instantly loved his petite size, interesting shape, and the way the front is slightly rounded. Plus, the previous owner had completely restored the drawers, so even though he has lived through many decades the drawers open and close like they are brand new.

The original wood was beautiful as it was, but I can rarely leave anything “as is” so we decided to give him a makeover to match the bookshelf. After lots of sanding and several coats of a creamy white, I roughed up the edges and added a dark brown glaze to give it a “well loved” finish.

The weather lately has been less than ideal (100°+) for outdoor painting, so it took me longer than I anticipated to complete this piece, but I’m loving how it turned out.

Thanks Miss C. – I hope you enjoy and I can’t wait to see pictures of the completed “big boy” room!
