Vintage White Dresser with Mirror

January 24, 2013 By 20 Comments


Hey…how’s everyone doing today?  Today is actually my designated day-off but I just can’t help myself, I needed to share my most recent makeover!!!  This beautiful vintage dresser has made it’s way into my heart and home.  It’s now sitting pretty in our master bedroom.  It may or may not make into my next Vintage Market.  I’m hoping to stock up on several pieces like this between now and then (that way I can keep one for myself)!  I decided to keep this one simple…looking yummy in solid white and distressed by the all powerful sander.  When choosing white, I always have to paint three coats for maximum coverage.  It takes a little longer but I’m always happy with the results.

Solid as a rock with all the original knobs, always a bonus!
Another pretty basket I picked up at the flea market in Quartzside, AZ last week. ↓

      Thank you!!! Oooo…I look forward to seeing yours too. Sizing and labeling the pics are a big job. It always feels good when that part is done and you’re ready to post! I’ll check back in with you a little later to see your dresser! HUGS!!!

    This looks wonderful – great job, Judy. Also love the egg gathering basket you found. These guys sell like crazy at my booth. Fortunately I have a guy who has a barn full!!

      Oh you are so lucky to know a guy… Wish I had a source like that! It’s a rainy day in AZ today so I’m finishing up some upholstery projects that have been hanging over my head for months. Almost done ~ Yeah!!!

    I’m currently painting very similar style dresser right now. My dresser is bright blue milk paint with a stained top and drawer fronts …I like how your looks in white. A great job!
