Vintage Maple Dresser (SOLD)

I was thrilled to find this sweet solid maple chest a few weekends ago.  It's got awesome lines, great pulls, and an amazing grouping of maple leaves on the front of the bottom drawer.  I fell in love with it right away and knew it would be perfect for a nursery or child's bedroom.

Don't you agree? So simple and sweet.

I've had a lot of luck recently finding pieces that are slightly taller than the average dresser, which makes them a great choice as a changing table.  This one is on the tall side too - 34 1/2''.  That would work for anyone as a changing table - even a tall mama like myself.  :-)

I love the curve to the top drawers.

And the sweet detailing at the feet.

Also love the pulls on the sides of the dresser.  It's a great detail, and just so happens to make this heavy piece a lot easier to carry.  ;-)

As we all know ...  I'm a hardware girl.  :-)  I LOVE a piece with good hardware.  And this hardware is great - solid maple and so easy to use.  I've painted and distressed it to match.

All four drawers are dovetailed, and work like a dream.  This piece was made by Virginia House and is maple all the way.

The best part about this piece?  Definitely the maple leaves on the bottom drawer.  So unique.

I've painted this dresser in Duck Egg Blue, and given it a distressed finish.  Clear wax finishes the look and provides protection. It measures 43'' long x 34 1/2'' tall x 20 1/2'' wide, and is priced at $360 (SOLD).

Cream chest (SOLD)

Yet another beauty.  This is one SOLID piece of furniture, folks!  Maple all the way.

I really love the pulls on this one - if you look closely, the detail on them is amazing.

Also love the lines across the bottom, and the detailing of the top two drawers.

All five drawers on this sweet chest are dovetailed and work like a dream. I've painted it in a deep cream color, given it a distressed finish, and coated it with clear wax as a protectant.  Measurements are 46'' tall x 34'' long x 20'' deep and it's priced at $395 (SOLD).

Antique bow-front chest on chest (SOLD)

Yet another piece that I'm really excited about - I was thrilled to find it a couple of weeks ago!  This lovely bow-front chest on chest is the companion of the antique dresser I just posted.  Such an amazing piece.

I am a sucker for a bow-front piece - throw in hardware like this one has, and I'm basically swooning.  Is that sad?  :-)

The hardware deserves its very own photo.  Just gorgeous.

See the curve to the top three drawers?

And all of that gorgeous detailing.  LOVE.

I've painted this antique chest in a lovely deep cream color, with distressing and clear wax for protection.  It measures 54 1/2'' tall x 34'' long x 18'' deep and is priced at $450 (SOLD).  You won't be disappointed with this one - it's a real charmer.

Antique dresser in Old White (SOLD)

This one, folks, is something special.  :-)

When I find a dresser like this one, I feel like I've hit the furniture painting jackpot.  :-)  It has everything I look for in an antique piece.  Amazing details.  Great solid construction.  Dovetailed drawers. GORGEOUS original hardware.  It's got it all.

Isn't the detailing amazing?  I love every bit of it.

And the hardware.  Oh, the HARDWARE!  ;-)

All four drawers in this dresser are quite long and provide ample storage space.  I see this piece as the changing table to end all changing tables.  :-)  Or as a gorgeous entertainment center holding a flat screen television in a family room.  In a foyer, or bedroom, or even as a sideboard in a dining room.  It's that perfect size - great for so many uses.

I've painted this piece in Old White, with a distressed finish and clear wax for protection.  It measures 50'' long x 36'' tall x 21'' deep, and is priced at $430 (SOLD).  Can you picture it in your home?  I can.  Please don't tell my husband. ;-)
