  • Painting OLD furniture is rarely as simple as just slapping on a coat of paint. This antique dresser had already been refinished multiple times in the past but was once again in need of a bunch of repairs and a new finish to get it back in action and keep it from being discarded.

    I am one of those in the camp of not painting old furniture but there are times that you have no choice. If the dents and dings cannot be sweated out or sanded, then you have no choice but to fill and paint. This piece turned out beautiful and definately ready to take on another 50 years plus.

    I was one of those people who used to cringe when people would paint over wood furniture, but I must admit Katie, since watching you and how beautiful your pieces come out-fully restored and usable plus saved from the land fill---I do not feel that way any longer! This came out wonderful!!!

    I like the added trim not just for the aesthetic element but also because it serves the purpose of protecting the original carving if someone else wants to restore/recreate it later on the existing wood. You've given this piece a new lease on life!

    I think it would've been fun to try "re-carving" the original design on the drawer fronts - just take a woodcarving knife and sort of trace the existing lines, see if you could get the depth it was supposed to have back again. If it didn't come out well you could still cover it up with new trim like you did. Not trying to be hateful, I think the final result was pretty, just offering an idea :)

    Gorgeous. Love the trim detail you added. Super before/after. I know some people hate painted furniture. However, I have seen a lot of old wood dressers that are covered in lots of dark stain to mask the fact that the piece has different woods or woods with defects - seems pretty similar to painting it, doesn't it? Now if you have a piece that is made with gorgeous wood specimens and isn't broken and falling apart, by all means try to save it and bring it back to its original glory. To me, keeping something out of a landfill and giving it new life is the most important thing. And BTW, lots of people LOVE painted furniture. I happen to love both.
