This Modern Majestic Masterpiece was found at a garage sale where the owner practically wanted to pay me to take it. I wasn't about to leave this beauty behind, so I loaded her up and brought her home. The wood was dull and dry, and it had a wonderful musty smell as if it had been sitting in someone's basement for many years. She was screaming to bring her beauty back in high Mid Century Modern style and that's just what she got!
I cleaned and aired it out good, sanded, and primed...

I knew that this piece was going to "get it" because the flat surfaces would allow me to really add so many extras I hadn't tried yet! I had just got a new color in, Abyss, by Wise Owl. I also ordered textured rollers from Artistic Painting Studio, along with some chrome foil and adhesive. I started by stripping the top and sanding it down so I can apply General Finishes Java Gel stain. The bottom of the piece got two coats of abyss chalk paint. I then tried using the texture roller to...

We completely transformed this dresser with General Finishes Java Stain for the drawers and Antique White for the body. We...
