I couldn't decide what to do with this little dresser until I saw this fantastic paper at the craft store. 
 I loved the antique-iness that the paper already had.  Old news ads..layered old typewriter font.. just really Cool!

I've had this piece done for several weeks now & was just waiting for the Vintage-Looking glass knobs that I like to use on the Antique-Makeovers to get it in.  I was at the store today & they finally restocked! .. I snatched up every one of these & quickly rushed home to put together the finished look.  So Excited to share...

Painted the sides in a Chalky distressed Black.  The the drawer fronts so much Character that the plain white sides looked just that...Plain.

Nothing is Normal or Easy with any Make-Over that I do.  Every piece has "baggage" and some problems I have to troubleshoot and this one was no different.  The dresser was old & needed lots of cleaning up so I painted the drawers inside & OUT.  I slide the nice clean drawers back in their place, anxious to see the progress & guess what??.. STUCK!!  I finally got them all out & because they slide wood-on-wood I took my trusty side kick (Power Sander) & zipped all the paint off, then waxed all those spots by rubbing canning/jelly wax that you can get at the grocery store.  I am happy to report that all that worked!

This chest was so stunning all around that it called for a Brocade Medallion hand-painted in metallics!


This piece came with shiney brass drawer pulls.  I went through my box of salvaged goodies and put together miss-matched vintage relics with a time-worn rusty patina.  They just add even more character to the piece making it look worldly & traveled.

Brushed gold details

Art Deco Entertaining Bar Cabinet

Swanky Entertaining Cabinet. Perfectly fits glassware on the shelves. And just think if you added a couple of shelves of the left side to store-display liquor bottles & shelf at the bottom for wine storage.
PRICE: $625
T: 4FT x D:16" x W:29"

or Available at the Frou Frou Galore Shop in Old Town Spring!

I was told that the wood is "Exotic".  This looks like a one-of-a-kind piece even back in it's day.  I imagine it was made by a woodworking artisan seeing how detailed the woodgraining is along with the creativity that went into the piece using off-set hardware on the front and the art-deco styled design down the front doors.

The doors open to display a neoclassic angel design from Robert Adams (neoclassic architect)

The hardware is all original to this piece.  It does have a locking mechanism but is missing its key.


I found that it was easier to strip the entire piece & when I did I found that the top had alot of detail & character. Even though it had a little veneer chipping it was still too lovely to paint over.
