Ornate Tallboy Dresser...SOLD

Yee-haw...I finally finished the last of my tallboy dressers. This one is quite different from the others because of its ornate wood carvings. It is so classy!!

I sanded the piece, painted it a creamy white color called "Comet Dust" by Valspar, distressed it for the shabby look that I ♥ so much, sanded it again and finished it off with a coat of wax.

This solid wood tallboy has 5 drawers {all dove tailed}, 2 of which are hidden behind its beautifully carved doors as well as 3 cubbies to store all of your belongings. All together the piece measures a whopping 60 in. tall x 37.5 in. wide x 18.25 in. deep. The top drawer is 29.5 in. long x 14.25 in. deep and sinks 4.75 in. The 3 cubbies are 15 in. deep x 11 in. tall and vary between 9 and 11 in. wide. The 2 middle drawers are 28 in. wide x 13.5 in. deep and one sinks 3.5 in. while the other sinks 4.5 in. And the 2 bottom drawers measure 32.25 in. wide x 14.5 in. deep and sink 7.5 in. This dresser really offers a lot of extra storage!

Sadly the pictures don't do it justice. I would love to show it to you in person! If you would like to set up an appointment or have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at homeonharmony@gmail.com.

Hope you're having a great day! Thanks for stopping by ~Kell

Very Hip Tallboy Dresser...SOLD

Ladies & Gents,

I finished the funnest {not a word, I am sure} piece today. It really isn't fair that I love my pieces as much as I do because I don't want to part with any of them. But at least I get the satisfaction of knowing that the special person that purchases them will get just as much joy from them as I do in making them!!

That said, I am happy you stopped by, because you will fall in love with this little gem, I assure you!

I found this tallboy dresser with the most amazing hardware I have ever seen and HAD TO HAVE IT! I wanted to paint it a fun color to play up its unique characteristics and had a peacocky {again...not a word. We might have to call those "Kellieisms"}teal in mind...so here she is...ready to move into your space...

You'll probably remember her from her before pictures


















Cute hardware...huh?!?

Well here she is after being sanded, primed, painted, distressed, sanded again and waxed...



















Isn't she gorgeous??

If you're interested, you'll like to know that this piece is solid wood, has 5 drawers {3 of which are covered by those amazing doors} all dove tailed and STURDY! I always say "they don't make furniture like they used to" and QUALITY is what I mean. This dresser will last you for YEARS!! It stands 50.5 in. tall x 40 in. wide x 18.5 in. deep. The 2 bottom drawers are 14.5 in. deep x 35 in. wide and go down 6 in. and the top 3 drawers measure 13.5 in. deep x 32 in. wide and go down 7 in.

Well peeps, it is way past my 8:00 bed time...yes, I am that old :)
Sleep tight ~Kell

Stunning Tallboy Dresser...SOLD

I have a tallboy dresser that I have completely refinished that is absolutely stunning. I started off by sanding the entire piece, painting it a beautiful shade of gray that would match any decor because of its tone, distressed it for a shabby feel, sanded it again to give it a nice smooth finish and completed the look with a coat of wax for a durable finish. This solid wood piece has all of its original hardware except for its handles {because it was missing one backer} so I added some new crystal looking pulls that finish it off!

This dresser stands 41 in. long x 48 in. tall x 18 in. deep.
It has 5 dove tail drawers; 2 of which are hidden behind the doors that measure 35.25 in. long x 13.25 in. deep and go down 5.5 in. and 3 that measure 34 in. long x 14.25 in. deep and go down 5.5 in. {one even has wooden dividers adding 3 compartments for organizing your belongings}

Hope you enjoy your weekend ~Kell
