the dresser was mine, from the 50's and had been redone later with one of those dark brown antiquing kits and was not pretty.  I sanded, primed and spray painted the exterior Heirloom White flat and the drawer fronts in a slightly different shade for some interest, Chenille satin, and got porcelain knobs on eBay for a song.  The little table was just a sad, brown, ugly little thing in the antique store. I sanded, primed and spray painted the same color as the dresser, Heirloom White flat.  Then I found the little magazine rack, also ugly and sad in another antique store.  Sanded,  primed and spray painted it the same color, Heirloom White flat.  They occupy a nice little nook in the bedroom and hold my favorite things.

In my kitchen I painted 6 pieces black to make them work together. Paint is a wonderful and cheap way to spruce tired furniture up into great treasures like you've shown here.
Welcome and keep showing your projects.

We sell it, and also keep adding more pieces to our own homes as well - and a few scratches or dings here and there don't matter - gotta love that!! :)

Welcome to the JunkMarket - and looking forward to more of your projects!
