When all was painted and ready, she lightly distressed and then gave everything a light coating of gray wax.Īre you ready for the big reveal of this Art Deco waterfall dresser? We are! She also used a antique white color to paint the added trim and applique for a soft contrast. gave it two coats of paint allowing cure time of approximately 2 hours in between. chose to go with one of my favorite colors. I guide them a bit, but truly leave it up to them. When choosing what color of paint to use, my guys always ask me, “What will make it sell?”. Next, we added this beautiful millwork applique in the center, but cut it in half first so the drawers could open. First, we use my nailer to attach the braided upright wood trim. and I agreed it would be fun to dress it up a bit with some details. Since the dresser already had wear, Miss S. She’s not new to this tool and knew exactly what to do.Īfter the sanding, she blew it off with our compressor, and then wiped it down with a lightly dampened cloth. Once all the prep work was done, we took this Art Deco waterfall dresser back outside so Miss S.

This tools made it so easy for me to show her how to set it up and have at it with my drill. In order to do so, she needed to use my Kreg Hardware Jig to makes new holes on the top drawer. Yes, plastic!! I was surprised as this was only the second time I had ever encountered plastic pulls on a nice piece like this. If you look at dresser, you would assume that those pulls and knobs were metal. You know this is the longest part of any makeover, but soooo worth the effort to do it right. Basically we were doing all the prep work so she can be ready to start.

I helped her glue down the bubbled/split parts on the top, the lifting veneer on the sides, and patch the missing veneer on the drawers with wood filler and wood glue. It all literally fell off except one piece that had apparently been glued back on…sideways. started by removing the flaking veneer off the bottom scalloped piece. She couldn’t wait to get started, so I gave her some tips and let her have at it. The dresser has some missing veneer with bubbling on top, the wood is very parched, and really ready for a fresh new look. However, it’s just been awhile since she’s done something of this size, so I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with it. has seen me work, helped me finish projects, and has done her own projects as seen in these posts. Isn’t it a beauty?Īs you can see, there is much that needs done with this piece, but nothing I knew she could’t handle. How exciting to help her start!
