Furniture Debut: Mid Century Modern Dresser

 

Mid Century Modern Dresser before Picture

This Mid Century Modern dresser was a little too orangey for my taste.  The lines and versatility of Mid Century Modern pieces are fabulous, so I had to give it a makeover.

Look at her now!  You can whistle at her if you want….she won’t mind.  She is a beauty!

Can you see the grain on the top of her…I was surprised to find such loveliness under all her junk.  It completely changed the direction I was headed with her…and for the best.  Wouldn’t you agree?

Mid Century Modern dresser with poppy lined drawersHer drawers are lined with this wonderful coral poppy paper I found.  It makes such a nice pop of color when you open the drawers.  I added the gold knobs to give her some more character, but just on the sides. She is a very light tan color which really looks more like a warm white.  She is available in my Esty shop here!
