This piece has been given a lot of love by me! I started by sanding it down, painting it, sanding it again and waxing the body for a protective finish. I originally painted the top of the dresser the same color but because of some damage that was done from the previous owners it truly looked like crap. Since it wasn't smooth like I had anticipated, I thought I would add a Moroccan stencil that would give it character. Well...that just looked worse...which is never good for a person with OCD! So I got online and looked up how to replace a dresser top. That gave me the fabulous idea to just turn the existing one over. It was perfect, no damage whatsoever. In fact, it was so pretty that I decided to stain it rather than paint it. I thought it was too much color with the mirror matching as well. It now wears a dark walnut finish with a coat of Polycrylic to protect it. GLAMOROUS I must say!
This dresser measures 63.75 in. wide x 20 in. deep x 32 in. tall. It features 9 drawers all of which are dove tailed and on medal tracks with ball bearings giving them nice smooth movement. 2 drawers measure ~ 20 in. x 15.5 in. and sink 3.75 in. 2 measure ~ 20 in. x 15.5 in. and sink 6.5 in. 2 measure ~ 20in. x 15.5 in. and sink 7 in. and the middle drawers are 15.5 in. x 13.5 in. and sink 4 in., 6.5 in. and 7 in. Lots of storage space for any need. One drawer has a jewelry holder that can slide back and forth and is removable and 2 drawers feature a built in divider so you can better organize your belongings.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment to come and see it. It is a nice solid piece that is sure to last for years. The mirror alone weighs a TON! Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays! ~Kell
